Royal Princess combines contemporary design with a wide choice of dining, entertainment and leisure facilities. Carrying up to 3,560 guests, the ship features 19 decks, 1,780 guest cabins and an impressive central Piazza, inspired by the traditional squares of Europe. One of its standout features is the SeaWalk, a glass-floor walkway extending beyond the edge of the ship, offering striking views of the ocean below.

There are plenty of places to relax and socialise, from the adults-only Sanctuary Club and swimming pools to the lively bars, lounges and entertainment venues. The ship also features the Princess WaterColor Fantasy light and water show, while its varied restaurants and spacious public areas make it easy to find something to enjoy throughout your cruise.

You can spend your days enjoying the swimming pools and hot tubs, relaxing in the adults-only Sanctuary Club or treating yourself to a little indulgence at the Lotus Spa. The Enclave offers a thermal suite with a hydrotherapy pool, heated stone beds, a Hammam, Caldarium and Laconium, while the Lotus Spa Fitness Centre features modern equipment and classes including Pilates, yoga and cycling. The SeaWalk is another highlight, providing a unique perspective of the sea from its glass-floor walkway.

When evening arrives, the Princess Theater hosts lavish original productions, while Princess Live! offers interactive events, comedy, cabaret and game shows. Movies Under the Stars screens films, concerts and sporting events on the poolside cinema screen, complete with complimentary popcorn. You can also enjoy live music and dancing in the Piazza, try your luck in the casino or browse the onboard art gallery and boutiques. The Princess WaterColor Fantasy show adds another spectacle, combining fountains, lights and music.

Dining on Royal Princess offers a varied choice of included and speciality restaurants. The main dining rooms serve breakfast, lunch and dinner, while World Fresh Marketplace provides an extensive buffet selection. The International Café is open 24 hours a day, offering pastries, sandwiches, salads, light bites and speciality coffees. For something more casual, Prego Pizzeria serves freshly made Neapolitan-style pizza, while Trident Grill offers burgers, hot dogs and chicken sandwiches, alongside an evening barbecue menu. Swirls Ice Cream Bar is ideal when you fancy a sweet treat.

When you’re looking for something special, Crown Grill serves premium steaks and seafood in a traditional steakhouse setting, while Sabatini’s Italian Trattoria celebrates Italian cuisine with fresh ingredients and artisanal dishes. Alfredo’s Pizzeria offers freshly prepared individual pizzas, while Ocean Terrace Seafood Bar serves sushi and sashimi. You can also enjoy an indulgent multi-course meal at Chef’s Table Lumiere, or look out for the pop-up Crab Shack. For Sanctuary Collection guests, the exclusive Sanctuary Restaurant provides a dedicated dining experience with specially curated menus and personalised service.

Who goes on Princess cruise ships?

Princess Cruises attracts a wide passenger base, but the majority are North Americans. There are real differences depending on ships and itineraries, but the bulk of Princess' passengers are 40-plus, although with new family offerings, the line is catering to a more diverse age range, particularly in Alaska and the Caribbean. If you sail on the larger Princess ships, you'll meet a range of passengers from solo travelers to big multigenerational family groups. The smaller Princess ships cater to more mature travelers who want longer, more exotic itineraries and need fewer family-friendly elements.


Do I have to dress up on a Princess cruise?

Princess is fairly traditional in dress. Depending on the length of the cruise, there are a varying number of formal nights, where women wear evening gowns and cocktail dresses and men wear tuxedos, dinner jackets or dark suits with a tie to dinner. On Smart Casual evenings, the line advises passengers to dress similarly to what they would wear to a nice restaurant at home. Pool or beach attire, shorts, baseball caps and casual jeans are out for the dining rooms, and diners must wear shoes even in the buffet.


Is everything included on Princess cruises?

No. Fares for a Princess cruise include complimentary dining in a few venues, room service, water, tea, coffee, and select juices. Various theater productions, Movies Under the Stars and deck parties are also complimentary, and there is no fee for youth and teen activities, except for late-night group babysitting. Enrichment lectures, classes and presentations are also free with a few exceptions. Specialty restaurants, gratuities, spa and salon services, internet access (MedallionNet), laundry, alcoholic drinks and soda, and shore excursions cost extra.


What are Princess' most popular activities?

The types of activities available vary from ship to ship. Still, cruisers typically gather around the pools daily and hang out day and night in the Piazza to enjoy spontaneous performances, live music and dancing. The line's signature Movies Under the Stars is also popular. On select ships, Broadway-style productions draw a crowd in the evening. Most of the ship also turns out for deck parties and activities like stargazing at sea.
