Sun Princess is the first of Princess Cruises' Sphere-Class ships and the line's largest and most contemporary vessel, billed by Princess as 'the most impressive, luxurious and stunning Love Boat ever created.' Its signature architectural flourish is The Dome, a geodesic glass-enclosed structure crowning the top of the ship and inspired by the hillside terraces of Santorini. At the heart of the ship, the central Piazza is reimagined around the outward, suspended Sphere - the namesake of the class - wrapping guests in expansive ocean views and an indoor-outdoor, open-concept flow. Across 21 decks the ship packs 30 restaurant and bar venues, an unprecedented roster of celebrity culinary collaborators, and technically advanced entertainment spaces.
Who it's for
Squarely aimed at Princess' relaxed-premium sweet spot: couples chasing romance on 'The Love Boat,' and multi-generational families drawn by the dedicated youth centers, Movies Under the Stars and a huge spread of dining. The exclusive Sanctuary Collection tier layers on quiet luxury for guests who want private dining, a top-deck retreat and an all-inclusive Premier bundle, while foodies are courted by a deep bench of specialty restaurants from celebrity partners.
