‘Visiting the Bridge and the engine rooms were the highlight.

‘The crew on board have been such an inspiration to the girls and they couldn’t have done more to help the girls have a full engineering experience in an incredible environment on board Royal Princess.’

It comes as part of International Women in Engineering Day on June 23 (INWED18), an international awareness campaign, led by the Women’s Engineering Society, to raise the profile of women in engineering and focuses attention on the career opportunities available to girls.
