Princess Cruises has unveiled the first glimpse of the cutting-edge and most innovative ship ever built - Sun Princess, scheduled to debut in early 2024 - as the newest, largest, and most innovative on The Love Boat.
A spectacular three-story dining space and an Arena Theater, inspired by sunlight, make Princess' newest ship an exceptional cruise experience.
"With the construction of any new ship, we have an incredible opportunity to design exceptional spaces with the wishes of our guests in mind," said John Padgett. "With Sun Princess's new platform and size, we are uniquely able to refresh the places we know our guests love and expand, redesign and take them to the next level." We know our sun-inspired designs will exceed expectations and elevate the entire princess experience."
A first for Princess, Horizons Dining is a stunning three-story dining room. This reimagined space is open and flexible, with dining options to suit every mood. Stunning wake views and natural light highlight the decorative sculpture that stretches from Deck 6 to Deck 8.
Each of the three decks will have its own personality, offering different dining experiences and a range of formality levels.
Contemporary and versatile, the Princess Arena is the evolution and most technologically advanced design of the Princess Theatre. Upon entering, guests will be drawn to a stunning visual display above the center stage that can become part of the show. A radical ceiling emphasizes the circular configuration of the Arena with soft curved walls that allude to the movement of the tides.
With movable seating and a capacity of just over 1,000 people, the three configurations will maximize visibility as the technological capabilities deliver a truly immersive experience.
Additional favorites with new design and decor to appear on Sun Princess in early 2024 include:
- •Alfredo's Pizzeria
- •Princess Casino
- •Crown Grill
- •Sabatini's Italian Trattoria
- •Princess Live!
- •Princess stores
Additional spaces with new designs, signage and decor will include Crooner's, Wheelhouse Bar, International Cafe, Good Spirits and Gelateria.
Currently under construction at the Fincantieri shipyard in Italy, the largest Princess ship ever built, accommodating 4,000 guests, embraces Italian heritage by featuring a newly designed, brand-iconic Piazza and The Dome, a premium entertainment space inspired by the terraces of Santorini. While representing an entirely new class of ship for the cruise line, Sun Princess also stays true to the sleek clean lines and design aesthetic of the iconic Seavitch cruise line and popularized in the original "Love Boat" TV series.
Sun Princess will also feature an exclusive Princess Medallion experience that will expand Princess' leadership in providing exceptional and customized experiences on an unparalleled scale, offering guests personalized service previously only available on the industry's most miniature ships.
