Princess Cruises ship, Ocean Princess, makes her debut in Pembrokeshire on July 31 when she arrives in the Milford Haven Waterway.

The Port of Milford Haven is busy preparing to host the arrival of around 680 passengers on a cruise around the coasts of Ireland, Wales and Scotland.

Ocean Princess, one of Princess Cruises' smaller ships, at 592-foot long and weighing just over 30,000 tonnes has sailed around some of the world's most exotic destinations. She will be at the Port from 8 am until 5 pm, before moving on to Dublin and Rosyth.

Cruise development officer at the Port of Milford Haven, Sue Blanchard-Williams, said she's looking forward to welcoming passengers to Milford Haven.

"Pembrokeshire is a fantastic port of call with its world famous coastline and some of the richest cultural landmarks in Wales. The ships come because the Port of Milford Haven is perfectly located for the best that West Wales has to offer. Historic castles, long sandy beaches, wildlife or retail, it's all right here on our doorstep," said Sue.

The Port of Milford Haven is leading the promotion of Pembrokeshire as a cruising destination, providing a fantastic boost to the local economy. In 2012, almost 3,000 cruise passengers came ashore spending over £200,000 in Pembrokeshire alone.

Paul Ludlow, Princess Cruises UK director, said: "Princess Cruises is known for its great destinations so we're thrilled that we've been able to add Milford Haven, another fantastic British port, to our cruise holiday offering. With more than 150 different itineraries to choose from, Princess Cruise passengers can cover the globe, with sailings to all seven continents that call at more than 300 ports and destinations around the world."

Ocean Princess is part of a fleet of 17 ships owned by Princess Cruises which has recently celebrated the christening of Royal Princess by Her Royal Highness, The Duchess of Cambridge.

The next cruise call at Milford Haven will be on August 7 before the return of Ocean Princess on August 28.
