Welcome Aboard Discovery Princess

Introducing Discovery Princess, the final addition to the acclaimed Royal-class fleet. This modern ship perfectly balances large-scale amenities with the signature comfort that Princess Cruises is known for across the globe. From the moment you step into the grand Italian-inspired Piazza, you'll notice a seamless blend of sophisticated design and effortless technology that makes every moment on board feel intentional and smooth.


The Atmosphere

The mood on board is relaxed yet refined, designed for those who appreciate understated elegance and seamless service. You'll find a welcoming environment that encourages both quiet reflection on the expansive decks and lively connection in the central social hubs. Whether you're watching the sunset from the SeaWalk or enjoying a performance in the theatre, there's a consistent sense of ease and genuine hospitality that permeates every deck, making the space feel approachable despite its impressive size.


Elevated Experiences

For those seeking a more exclusive environment, the Reserve Collection offers a distinct upgrade to your time at sea. This premium offering provides access to a private dining area within the main restaurant, featuring expedited seating and a dedicated waitstaff who attend to your preferences with precision. It's an excellent choice if you're looking to enjoy the benefits of a larger ship while retaining a sense of intimacy and personalized attention throughout your holiday.


Signature Highlights

  • The MedallionClass experience offers touchless, personalized service, from keyless cabin entry to having refreshments delivered directly to your location anywhere on board.

  • The Sanctuary provides a peaceful, adults-only retreat where you can unwind in plush lounge furniture, enjoy light snacks, and receive attentive service away from the bustle of the main decks.

  • Culinary excellence is front and centre, featuring innovative venues like The Catch by Rudi, which highlights contemporary seafood dishes in a modern setting.

  • The SeaWalk is a dramatic, glass-bottomed walkway that extends 28 feet beyond the edge of the ship, offering unique, bird's-eye views of the ocean below.

  • Entertainment is state-of-the-art, with original production shows in the theatre that use advanced technology to create truly immersive performances.


What Stands Out

What truly sets Discovery Princess apart is how it masters the art of scale without losing the personal touch. We recommend it because it offers the perfect balance of variety and intimacy. You're never short on choices for dining, entertainment, or relaxation, yet the layout feels intuitive and easy to navigate. It's a ship that caters to the modern traveller who values technology when it makes life easier, but still craves the classic warmth of a traditional ocean voyage.


Who Is This Ship For

Discovery Princess is a natural fit for multigenerational families, couples, and social groups who appreciate a polished, premium experience without the formality of a private yacht. The ship shines for guests who enjoy a mix of quiet relaxation and high-quality entertainment. Families will love the dedicated youth centres, while couples will find the adults-only spaces and refined dining options offer plenty of romance. It's also an excellent choice for active travellers who want to make the most of diverse shore excursions, as this ship is frequently deployed on some of the world's most scenic itineraries.


The Cruise Advisor's Insider Tip: Be sure to visit the International Café in the Piazza early in your trip to order a specialty coffee and a fresh pastry, then head to a quiet corner on an upper deck to enjoy them while watching the ship depart from port.

How We Rate Discovery Princess

The Cruise Advisor gives Discovery Princess a 5 out of 6. This rating reflects the ship's exceptional build quality, the impressive array of modern technology integrated into the guest experience, and the consistent excellence of the dining programme. It earns high marks for its intuitive layout and the high standard of service delivered by the crew. While some of the busiest public areas can feel quite active during peak times, the availability of adult-exclusive retreats and private dining options effectively manages the flow. We believe this ship is an ideal choice for travellers seeking a sophisticated, comfortable, and feature-rich holiday. We highly recommend booking a balcony stateroom to fully take advantage of the stunning coastal views this ship is designed to showcase.
