Princess ships to broadcast Royal wedding

The highly anticipated Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton will be televised live on Princess ship’s on April 29th.

Passengers on board Princess ships on the day will be able to follow with full coverage of the wedding through BBC World’s broadcasting of the event

They will enjoy viewing parties as they watch the most extensive coverage of this royal event. BBC is the official wedding broadcaster and has exclusive access inside Westminster Abbey

The on board viewing parties will add a celebratory flair to the event with British-style refreshments and special royal-themed cocktails. Passengers can also test their knowledge with royal wedding trivia competitions and participate in a William and Kate look-alike contest.

Princess Cruises executive vice president Jan Swartz said “As this is the first British royal wedding in years we know there will be wide interest among our passengers, we at Princess also feel a connection with Prince William because his mother, Princess Diana, christened our original Royal Princess back in 1984.”

The Royal Wedding is one of several special events shown on the Movies Under the Stars screens, including the Super Bowl and the Academy Awards. The giant LED screens are more than 300 square feet in size with a 69,000-watt sound system and have sufficient lighting power to be seen clearly at mid-day and heard even while the ship is moving at full speed

Royal Wedding broadcasts are planned for all ships in the Princess fleet, subject to satellite availability.
