Princess Cruises
in collaboration with:
As far as its reputation as one of the most universally appealing cruise lines at sea, there's a lot to back that up. World-class ships, Broadway-caliber entertainment, well-rounded and delicious dining plus a load of wellness experiences make Princess an easy choice for any traveling crew. The line also famously welcomes travelers as they are—dress up, or don’t. Get busy with activities and excursions, or stretch out on a lounger with a book. The beauty of the Princess experience is it can be anything you want.
Here’s a cheat-sheet to catch you up on all Princess has to offer—plus links to more in-depth guides on its destinations and brand-new ship, Sun Princess.

Meet the shiniest new ship at sea:
There’s a lot you may have heard about Princess Cruises®. That one of its ships was the “stage” for the 1970s Love Boat television series, for example. That it’s the cruise line to take you to Alaska. Or that its mix of engaging, chill and sophisticated experiences make it one of the most broadly appealing cruise lines at sea. And while each of these points is valid, there’s much more to learn about the dynamic line.
Princess is proud of its romantic roots, but its new line of Sphere Class ships is rocketing the beloved brand into a new era of next-level modernity, style and luxury. (Fun fact, the multi-talented Hannah Waddingham of Ted Lasso fame is the Godmother of one, a role held by Princess Diana, Princess Kate and Audrey Hepburn for previous ships.)
With its sea-, rail- and land-inclusive cruise tours—something the line has been perfecting for over 50 years—there’s no doubt about Princess’ status as a pioneer of Alaska travel. What you may not realize, though, is that Princess sails to over 330 destinations worldwide, bringing that same level of service and expertise to each port of call.

Enchanted Princess in the Caribbean
The Princess experience
Activities & wellness
The customized onboard experience extends into the way guests spend their time at sea. Families can partake in a wealth of experiences together, from steel drum lessons in the Caribbean to hula dancing in Hawaii. And for active types, there are daily fitness classes and open gym time in the state-of-the-art fitness center—plus an open-air jogging track and sports court overlooking the waves.
For those in need of a vacation that doubles as a wellness retreat, the Lotus Spa has all the necessary ingredients. The spa menu covers everything from acupuncture to hot stone aromatherapy massage. Post-treatment, rejuvenated travelers can zen out in the adults-only Sanctuary area, where a pool, loungers and cabanas provide an oasis of quietude. On Sun Princess and Star Princess, more pampering awaits in the luxurious Sanctuary Collection suites. These accommodations come with a host of bespoke amenities, lounge spaces and premium service; read more here.
A sea of entertainment options
There's always something spectacular to see on a Princess ship. Theater buffs will revel in the chance to take in original Broadway-style productions, complete with dazzling set design, costumes and musical scores. Aboard Sun Princess and soon-to-debut Star Princess, a variety of performances also take place in the Dome, which becomes a glass-enclosed stage by night.
In fact, musical and artistic talent is a fixture all across Princess ships. Live acts infuse the piazza—aka, the heart of the ship—with impressive acrobatics, toe-tapping melodies and celebratory energy. You might catch a rousing Irish band at O'Malley's Pub, a roar-inducing comedy act at Princess Live!, a DJ set on the pool deck or a mariachi troupe in the Piazza. For those inspired to become part of the show, karaoke nights and sing-alongs in Crooners—the onboard piano bar—offer the ideal opportunity.
