Discovery Princess
Royal Class
Welcome Aboard Discovery Princess
As the final addition to the Royal Class, Discovery Princess represents the peak of Princess Cruises' design and modern elegance. I'm delighted to introduce you to a ship that balances large-scale amenities with the personal, attentive service you expect from a premium vacation. Whether you're watching the sunset from one of the most expansive balconies at sea or enjoying a Broadway-calibre production in the state-of-the-art theatre, this ship serves as a sophisticated sanctuary for your next journey.
The Atmosphere
The feeling on board is one of effortless grace and relaxed refinement. You'll find the heart of the ship in the European-style Piazza, a vibrant hub where live music, spontaneous performances, and the aroma of fresh coffee create a welcoming community space. The design uses a palette of soft golds, deep blues, and warm woods to evoke a sense of calm, ensuring that even with its impressive size, the ship feels intimate and easy to navigate. It's an environment that encourages you to slow down, connect with your companions, and truly savour the maritime experience.
Elevated Experiences
For a truly distinguished stay, I recommend looking into the Sanctuary Collection or the Reserve Collection. The Sanctuary is an exclusive, adults-only outdoor retreat where you can escape to a world of plush loungers, private cabanas, and attentive "Sanctuary Stewards" who provide chilled face towels and light refreshments. If you choose a Reserve Collection stateroom, you'll gain access to a private dining area with expedited seating and exclusive menu options. These tiers are designed to provide a "ship-within-a-ship" feeling, offering a higher level of privacy and personalized care throughout your voyage.
Signature Highlights
World-Class Gastronomy: From the refined French flavours at Bistro Sur La Mer to the fresh seafood at The Catch by Rudi, the culinary program offers an incredible diversity of high-end dining and casual bites prepared with fresh, regional ingredients.
Sky Suites: These premium accommodations features the largest balconies in the fleet, providing a 270-degree panorama that is perfect for private hosting or simply enjoying a quiet morning over the ocean.
MedallionClass Technology: This wearable device streamlines every part of your trip, allowing for touchless boarding, wayfinding, and the ability to have a drink or snack delivered directly to your location on deck.
Enchanted Entertainment: The ship hosts original production shows and the popular Movies Under the Stars, where you can curl up with a blanket and popcorn to watch recent releases on a massive poolside screen.
What I Love About Discovery Princess
I am genuinely impressed by how this ship manages to feel both grand and deeply personal at the same time. What resonates with me most is the Sky Suite experience because it offers a sense of scale and connection to the sea that is truly rare. There is something profoundly moving about standing on your own private deck with a glass of wine, watching the horizon move past with absolutely nothing obstructing your view. It's these quiet, expansive moments that turn a simple holiday into a lifelong memory, and Discovery Princess facilitates those moments better than almost any other ship in its class.
Why You'll Love Discovery Princess
You'll love this ship if you appreciate the finer things in life but prefer a social, friendly environment over a stuffy one. It's the perfect choice for multi-generational families or couples who want a mix of high-energy entertainment and peaceful corners for relaxation. If you enjoy having your needs anticipated through smart technology and thoughtful service, you'll find the MedallionClass experience to be a total game-changer. You'll especially love the variety of the daily schedule, which allows you to be as active or as idle as you wish while surrounded by beautiful, contemporary design.
Secret Agent Tip: Visit the Wake View Bar at the very back of the ship during sunset. It offers one of the most stunning, unobstructed views of the ship's wake, and it's often much quieter than the main pool decks, making it the perfect spot for a peaceful pre-dinner cocktail.
