Cruise Circle
Founded in 1965, Princess Cruises have 60 years of experience under their bow. Delivering an onboard experience that is premium yet relaxed, full of things to do, yet not overwhelming, Princess' classic approach to cruising puts emphasis on dining, entertainment and live music. Here's a quick overview of some of the best bits...
There's no place like The Dome
Inspired by Santorini's terraces, 'The Dome' is a multi-level sphere of glass, and a standout feature on Princess' two newest ships (Sun Princess and Star Princess). Spanning three decks, the central European-style Piazza offers seating areas with out-of-this-world ocean views and a central LED screen for live entertainment. Not to mention the indoor and outdoor pool areas that transform into an entertainment space with aerial performances by night.
A feast for all 5 senses
Princess’ multi-course 360 Experience promises to transport adventurous diners on a virtual journey through Greece, Italy, Spain, and France, sampling dishes from across the regions. How, you ask? Beyond the exquisitely prepared food, Princess use high-tech audiovisuals that wrap around the room (hence the 360), olfactory wizardry, flawless table service, and live performances to tell the story of not only the food, but also the people and places behind it.
Available on Discovery Princess and Enchanted Princess
Upgrades that offer great value
Princess’ already hugely popular Premier and Plus packages have had a recent overhaul (thanks to guest feedback and requests), giving cruisers even more benefits and flexibility with their travel plans.
Still featuring the most popular amenities like unlimited premier beverages, unlimited dining, Wi-Fi access for up to four devices and reserved show seating, the Premier package will now include shore excursion credit of anywhere between $100-$300 depending on the sailing duration. While the Plus package offers an additional two casual dining meals per voyage.
