A cruise ship that was forced out of action for three weeks after its journey from Southampton is now back sailing the seas again.

Regal Princess had been marooned in the Galveston Ship Channel in Texas since October 27, as 'power generator issues' left operator Princess Cruises no choice but to cancel sailings on November 3 and November 10.

The ship left Galveston yesterday to head to Costa Maya in Mexico, Roatan in Honduras and Cozumel in Mexico, before it heads back to Texas on November 24.

Regal Princess will next be back in Southampton in April 2025 as it returns for the European summer season.

A spokesperson for Princess Cruises previously told the Daily Echo: “Our team has worked diligently to ensure Regal Princess is fully operational and ready to deliver a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable cruise experience.

“We look forward to welcoming guests aboard and appreciate their patience and understanding as we resolved these technical matters.”
