About Ruby Princess
Ruby Princess is the third and last Crown-class ship, delivered by Fincantieri in 2008 and the ninth and final Grand-family ship to join Princess. She measures about 113,600 gross tons and carries 3,080 guests. She was christened at Port Everglades in November 2008, and in March 2020 a COVID-19 outbreak aboard during an Australian cruise led to more than 20 passenger deaths. Princess bases her in San Francisco, with Hawaii, Mexico and Pacific Northwest round trips from October 2026 to April 2027 and 10-day Alaska voyages in summer 2027.
