Princess Cruises has unveiled the stunning new Sun Princess^®, set to debut with a schedule of Spring and Summer 2024 cruises to the Mediterranean followed by the Caribbean in Fall 2024. Named with a nod to the past but with a focus on the future, this is the third ship honored with the Sun Princess^® name but is unlike any other Princess ship.

Accommodating 4,300 guests and featuring more than 29 restaurants and bars and 21 decks, Sun Princess is the cruise line’s largest ship ever and offers a wealth of unforgettable amenities. Guests will enjoy stunning views, expansive venues, inspired entertainment spaces, multi-story dining rooms and next-level staterooms. This first-of-its-kind ship also features more than 1,500 balconies, with all balcony and oceanview accommodations boasting an in-room sofa for an extra level of comfort at sea.

 

Infused with light, the ship connects guests with dynamic views of the world and inventive experiences, from service to food to entertainment. The ship's Piazza spans three stories, forming an iconic architectural feature offering guests an outward-looking suspended space with comfortable seating and areas to enjoy the ocean views in every direction. An impressive LED screen is also showcased in the center of the Piazza that can be moved and configured to deliver live entertainment programming. Nearby, guests can enjoy a new coffee shop, Coffee Currents, Bellini’s Cocktail Bar, along with Princess favorites like Crooners Bar and Alfredo’s Pizzeria.

The other stand-out feature on board Sun Princess is The Dome. Inspired by the terraces of Santorini, it is a multi-level covered deck and the first true glass-enclosed dome ever constructed on a cruise ship. During the day, the Dome showcases an indoor/outdoor pool and unique water feature, in a relaxed space. At night, the pool becomes a stage, and the Dome completely transforms into an entertainment venue with a South Beach vibe, state-of-the-art lighting effects and the ability to deliver stunning aerial performances.

The ship's overall interior design celebrates the romance of the sea, offering outward views from morning until night. With brighter and lighter décor and finishes, Sun Princess delivers more memorable vantage points to take in the stunning destinations and ocean vistas guests want to experience on Princess vacations.

 

With 2,157 total staterooms, including 50 suites and 100 connecting rooms, the 21-deck Sun Princess features more outdoor balcony space. Also launching exclusively on the innovative ship will be a new level of suite accommodations, the Signature Collection. In addition to premium stateroom amenities, Signature Collection suites include access to the Signature Restaurant, Signature Lounge and Signature Sun Deck, a private area of The Sanctuary.

With Sun Princess^®, Club Class accommodations on this ship, and all Princess ships, will now be called Reserve Collection, which are the best-located mini suite staterooms. Within the Reserve Collection will be Reserve Collection Cabana, resort-style staterooms that offer a balcony and private cabana, an extra-large outdoor lounge space. These premium accommodations also include access to the Reserve Collection Restaurant.

Sun Princess^® features the MedallionClass^® experience that delivers exceptional service at an unmatched scale, making cruising with Princess even more effortless and personalized. Guests can enjoy fast, reliable Wi-Fi, staterooms that unlock as they approach, food and drinks delivered wherever they are – and so much more.

In addition to the ship’s stunning design are the sustainable elements engineered into the vessel. Sun Princess is part of Carnival Corporation’s green-cruising focus and is one of 11 new ships in the corporate fleet powered by eco-friendly Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) fuel technology. This cleaner-burning fuel will significantly reduce air emissions and marine gasoil to minimize its environmental footprint.

 

“Sun Princess is a game-changer for Princess Cruises and the industry, setting a new standard in Princess vacations,” says John Padgett, President of Princess Cruises.

Stay tuned for more details on this amazing floating resort, which will be joined by an as-yet-unnamed sister ship in spring 2025 as part of Sphere, the next generation of Princess ships!
