Welcome Aboard Sun Princess

Introducing Sun Princess, our newest and most ambitious addition to the fleet. As the inaugural vessel of the innovative Sphere-class, she represents a bold evolution in how we connect our guests with the ocean. From her striking, glass-enclosed architectural features to her modern, light-filled interiors, this ship is designed to offer a fresh and elevated perspective on the classic cruise holiday.


The Atmosphere

The mood on board is bright, contemporary, and effortlessly refined. We've replaced the traditional, enclosed corridors and dark themes of older ships with open, airy spaces that invite natural light to flood every level. You'll find the energy is sophisticated yet relaxed, moving away from the stuffy formal traditions of the past toward a more intuitive, modern style of hospitality. Whether you're lounging in the multi-level Piazza or finding a quiet corner in the conservatory-inspired Dome, the space feels like a luxurious coastal retreat that moves with the tides.


Elevated Experiences

We are proud to introduce the Sanctuary Collection on Sun Princess, a new standard for guests seeking extra privacy and premium perks. This ship-within-a-ship experience provides exclusive access to private dining, dedicated lounges, and serene retreat areas, including the tranquil Sanctuary Club. It's designed for those who appreciate the convenience of a larger ship but desire the quiet, personal attention of an boutique hideaway.


Signature Highlights

  • The Dome, a stunning, multi-level glass-enclosed space that transitions from a relaxing sun-drenched pool area by day to a mesmerising entertainment stage by night.

  • The Piazza, a spectacular three-story central atrium encased in a sphere of glass, offering 360-degree ocean views and a central hub for socialising.

  • Our culinary programme features an extensive selection of over 20 dining options, including a three-story main dining room and collaborations with world-class chefs to bring authentic global flavours to your plate.

  • The Wake View Terrace, a beautiful aft-deck space featuring an infinity pool that seems to spill directly into the ocean.

  • The Princess Arena, a technologically advanced, flexible theatre space that adapts to unique performances and immersive shows.


What Stands Out

What makes Sun Princess truly special is her intentional connection to the sea. Most ships of this scale can feel detached from the water, but here, the design constantly pulls your gaze outward. Between the massive glass walls of the Piazza and the innovative, greenhouse-style Dome at the top of the ship, you're never more than a few steps away from a breathtaking horizon. We recommend this ship for travellers who want the latest in modern comforts and architectural beauty without losing that essential feeling of being at sea.


Who Is This Ship For

Sun Princess is a fantastic choice for couples, multigenerational families, and travellers who appreciate modern design and a wide range of activities. If you’re someone who values having endless options, from quiet relaxation in the Sanctuary Collection to high-energy evening performances in the Arena, you’ll find this ship incredibly rewarding. It's perfectly suited for those who want to balance busy, exploration-filled days with an upscale, comfortable environment to return to each evening.


The Cruise Advisor's Insider Tip: Be sure to visit the Wake View Terrace at the very back of the ship during sunset for a quiet, near-private moment away from the main decks to enjoy the unobstructed view of the ship's wake.

How We Rate Sun Princess

The Cruise Advisor gives Sun Princess a 5 out of 6. This rating reflects the ship's successful leap into a more modern, light-filled design language that genuinely improves the guest experience. We were particularly impressed by the sheer amount of glass used throughout the ship, which transforms the atmosphere compared to previous classes. While the ship is undeniably large, the clever layout ensures that it rarely feels overwhelming. The only reason it misses the perfect score is the sheer scale of the ship, which can occasionally lead to longer walks between venues at peak times. Ultimately, we recommend Sun Princess for anyone looking for the most current, innovative, and comfortable way to explore the world's most beautiful coastlines.
