LUXURY and innovation have never looked so stylish as new cruise ship Sun Princess prepares to launch in the Med.
This stunning vessel – the largest in the award-winning Princess Cruises fleet – is a floating pleasure palace for all ages.
Across its 21 dazzling decks there are sparkling swimming pools, exciting live entertainment, slick restaurants, swanky bars... and even a thrill-a-minute adventure park.
You have a huge choice of handsome, world-class staterooms and suites, with plenty of premium touches, that are perfect for couples, groups of
friends or families.
Sun Princess makes its maiden voyage in the Med next spring, but you can book your berth right now.
The ship features a first-of-its-kind geodesic dome on the top deck and floating-glass Piazza, which offers sophisticated nightlife – from Broadway-style musicals to “date night” cocktail lounges.
Sun Princess does laidback lounging too, especially at the contemporary spa. And there’s lots of fun for kids, with exhilarating rides like the
Sea Breeze Rollglider at the
Park19 adventure zone, and
a cool teen hangout.
Read on to discover all the wonderful ways you’ll cruise into the holiday of
a lifetime aboard the brilliant
Sun Princess.

Fun for the family
Princess Cruises offers adventure for all ages, and when you’re not out exploring far-flung shores and vibrant port cities, the children have more than enough to discover on board.
With themed events, activities and organised games, Firefly Park Kids Club is sure to keep the youngest occupied while Mum and Dad chill out in the spa.
Meanwhile, the Neon Grove Tweens Club and The Underground Teen Lounge are the places for older children to make friends while trying their hand at new activities – that is, if you can drag them away from the Splash Zones, Gelateria and climbing wall.
And with the peace of mind that comes with knowing the kids are enjoying themselves, you can have some fun of your own.
ACTIVITIES FOR THE LITTLE ONES
Park19 invites the whole family to get active. On the exhilarating Coastal Climb, you’ll clamber across a series of obstacles that lead from Deck 19 up to Deck 20 and the Lookout, the highest observation deck on the ship.
Meanwhile, the Sea Breeze Rollglider – the first oceangoing version – offers a very special hang-gliding experience, dangling you from an overhead track to enjoy the view from a new perspective.
Scramble through The Net Ropes course, head up for a friendly ping pong or shuffleboard competition, or simply lie back in the hammock area as the children take a dip in the Splash Zone.
There’s even a jogging track encircling the entire area so you can stay active outdoors.
PARK LIFE ON HIGH
An innovative, shape-shifting performance space, the adaptable Princess Arena can be configured in multiple ways to bring each unique show to life.
It’s essentially an enhanced version of the traditional Princess Theatre: the central stage and geometrical ceiling create a communal feel, where every one of the thousand seats is the best in the house.
An LCD panel brings a hi-tech edge to every production, whether you’re admiring a Broadway-style show or a tightly choreographed modern dance extravaganza.
From TV-inspired game shows to original musicals, Princess Cruises focuses on offering an incredible variety of entertainment on board.
SHOW-STOPPING THEATRE
INDULGENCE
Taking inspiration from the sun-drenched tones and elegant shapes of Greece’s idyllic island gems, The Dome is a versatile haven that offers a new and exciting experience whatever the time of day.
Enjoy lazy afternoons spent basking in the soothing waters of the pool, indulging in colourful cocktails or simply lounging with a good book.
Come back at sunset and the evening brings a whole new world of entertainment, when you can marvel at the incredible acrobatics of Cirque Eloize performed under a star-studded sky.
With three mesmerising shows in rotation in this multi-level performance space, The Dome is the perfect place to highlight the incredible talents of this Montreal-based team and its eight inspirational performers.
SUNLIT POOL, STARLIT STAGE
The Lotus Spa is a two-storey à la carte experience, where guests can relax in the salt room, take a breather in the aromatic steam room or float away in waves of bliss in the elegant hydro pool.
After a day spent ashore discovering the precious cultural treasures of your latest port of call, this is the ideal hideaway to enjoy a break from it all.
Treat yourself to a rejuvenating La Therapie HydraLift Facial, savour an aroma stone therapy experience or let a detoxifying ocean wrap soothe your sun-kissed skin.
Still need to unwind? Indulge in a round of healing acupuncture to release that last little bit of tension, or book a full day with the spa’s experienced therapists to discover the true meaning of escape.
SPA SPECTACULAR
Fancy soothing your limbs in a crystalline infinity pool as you watch the ocean slide by?
That’s the prospect offered by the all-new Wake View Terrace: ultimate relaxation in elegant surroundings.
Set on a South Beach-style resort deck, it’s the place to find refreshing drinks by day and discover foot-tapping entertainment by night.
TERRACE WITH A VIEW
The hub of the stylish ship is The Piazza, where glass walls offer near 360-degree ocean vistas to immerse you in the enchanting atmosphere of life at sea.
Blending all the charms of quaint European town squares with the latest modern architectural styles, this gorgeous sphere is the perfect spot to sip cocktails with a view and swap stories of your adventures with like-minded travellers.
Savour a dark roast from Coffee Currents café, sip an aperitif from Bellini’s Cocktail Bar or head to Kai Sushi for an authentic taste of Japan.
From the Italian delicacies at Alfredo’s Pizzeria to the old-school charm of Crooners, where tinkling pianos and laidback singers offer the perfect serenade, The Piazza is the beating heart of this ship during your voyage.
THE HEART OF THE SEA
A three-storey space flooded with natural light and hosting impressive sea views, Horizons Dining Room offers a different cuisine on every floor to tempt you back night after night.
This elegant spot is arranged around a magnificent sculpture that could easily have stolen the show – if not for the exquisite gastronomy.
Step into a world of maritime heritage among the sea charts and compasses that decorate the Wheelhouse Bar, or head to Alfredo’s Pizzeria for authentic Italian woodfired pizzas.
The Crown Grill invites you to enjoy a perfect steak amid interiors that blend classic cruising staterooms with modern art, while the Gelateria is always a cool choice for those with a sweet tooth.
DINE WITH NEW HORIZONS
Explore a collection of exquisite suites and staterooms on board Sun Princess, where balmy terraces and transcendent views await.
Seeking the perfect romantic getaway? The new Reserve Collection’s Cabana Mini-Suites combine stylish private sanctuaries with access to exclusive dining areas and complimentary wine – just right for toasting your first sunset on board.
Ideal for long-awaited multi-generation trips, the new Signature Sky Suite blends elegance and privacy with two bedrooms and bathrooms, a stylish seating area and vast ocean views.
And when you book a Signature room, you’ll enjoy access to exclusive areas on board too – including a private haven in the heart of The Sanctuary, an elegant adults-only affair.
