Sun Princess

Sun Princess is a deliberate break from the classic Princess mold, the largest ship the line has ever built and the flagship of its new Sphere Class. Debuting in February 2024 as Princess's first LNG-powered vessel at roughly 178,000 gross tons and 4,300 guests, it trades the line's restrained heritage for a bolder, livelier, contemporary feel. The signature space is The Sphere, a three-deck wall of curved glass spanning decks 7 to 9 that turns the central Piazza into a sunlit, theatrical hub and immediately signals this is a more modern, entertainment-forward Princess.

The onboard experience rewards explorers. Redesigned cabins are a clear step up, with better bathrooms, bigger balconies, and more power outlets, and the dining ranges from the three-deck Horizons main dining room and the chef-served Eatery buffet to an extensive specialty lineup including Sabatini's, Crown Grill, The Catch by Rudi, Umai Teppanyaki, and the ultra-premium Love by Britto and Spellbound by Magic Castle experiences. Five pools, including the Wake View infinity pool and the indoor-outdoor Dome, sit alongside the Lotus Spa hydrotherapy circuit, while entertainment plays out in the theater-in-the-round Princess Arena and Cirque Eloize shows in The Dome. Service is generally warm, though several venues launched with flow, crowding, and ambiance problems that have been progressively fixed.

This ship suits travelers who want a modern, design-driven, activity-packed premium-mainstream experience, and especially families drawn to the huge Firefly Park, Sky Suites, and Signature Lounge. It is a weaker fit for Princess traditionalists who miss adults-only pools, libraries, and art auctions. Priced in the premium-mainstream tier and sailing the Mediterranean and Caribbean, its standout draws are the Sphere atrium, The Dome's acrobatic shows, the Spellbound magic dinner, and the artistic Love by Britto.
