Sky Princess
Princess Cruises SKY PRINCESS berthed at the then relatively new Darling Harbour Passenger Terminal, replacing "No 13 Pyrmont". This terminal was right next to the Sydney Aquarium, it was later demolished and in it's place King St Wharf was built with bars, shops and apartments, as well as providing berthing for the party/dinner cruise boats on Sydney Harbour.
SKY PRINCESS was launched in 1984 as Sitmar Cruises FAIRSKY (the second Sitmar ship to carry the name) and was also their only new build to enter Sitmar service. Renamed SKY PRINCESS (along with all the other Sitmar ships being given "Princess" names, the only exception not to lose her Sitmar name being the FAIRSTAR in Australia), when Sitmar was sold to P&O Princess Cruises in 1988. Later again she was renamed PACIFIC SKY when she was transferred to P&O Cruises for full time cruising from Sydney (and later Brisbane) during the early 2000's. She is currently sailing for Pullmantur Cruises as SKY WONDER.
