Princess Cruises has confirmed that the delivery of the Enchanted Princess is delayed because the Fincantieri shipyard in Monfalcone, Italy, remains closed.

A new delivery date has not been determined. Voyages through July 31 have been canceled. The shipyard shutdown is due to the country-wide lockdown imposed by the Italian government and public health officials in response to the COVID-19 outbreak.

The naming ceremony scheduled for June 30, 2020, in Southampton, England, has been canceled. Inaugural activities are under review in conjunction with changes to the ship deployment.

The 3,660-passenger ship-a sister to Regal Princess, Royal Princess, Majestic Princess and Sky Princess-was originally scheduled to debut on June 19 in Rome (Civitavecchia) for a nine-day Mediterranean cruise.
