Ocean Princess was delivered in 1999 as the R Four of Renaissance Cruises, one of a class of eight identical sisters. The ship was not owned by Renaissance Cruises; instead she was owned by a group of French investors. When Renaissance declared bankruptcy in 2001, the ship was seized by creditors, along with the other seven vessels in the fleet. In 2002, Princess Cruises secured a two year lease for R Four and her sister ship R Three (now Pacific Princess). The vessel entered operation at the end of 2002, and was renamed Tahitian Princess. At the end of the lease, Princess Cruises purchased both vessels. In November 2009 the Tahitian Princess was renamed Ocean Princess to 'reflect a more global theme'. It was announced on November 25, 2014, that the ship is to be sold to Oceania Cruises. She left the Princess fleet in March 2016 to undergo a 35-day, $40 million refurbishment in Marseille, France to become Sirena. |
