115,875GT Princess Cruises by Mitsubishi, Nagasaki
Renamed after a fire & entered service as the Sapphire Princess in 2004 for Princess Cruises IMO: 9228186
The name swap occurred because a major fire swept through the ship during construction, leading to a delay. Both sister ships were being constructed at the same time, so the original Sapphire assumed the role of Diamond. This name swap assisted in keeping the delivery date of Diamond Princess on time.
