“We are thrilled about the expansion of the Princess fleet and know that homeporting Sun Princess in Ft. Lauderdale offers a convenient option for guests to explore the most elevated experience ever from the Love Boat,” said John Padgett, Princess Cruises president. “The warmth, pristine beauty, and crystal-clear waters found throughout the Caribbean form an idyllic backdrop for our iconic new ship and create the perfect setting for Princess guests to enjoy the stunning views and playful adventure that are magnified on this beautiful, iconic new ship.”
Sun Princess is currently under construction at the Fincantieri shipyard in Italy and is set to be a game-changer in the cruise industry. With its 175,500-ton size and capacity to accommodate 4,300 guests, it promises to offer an array of exciting new dining, entertainment, and activity options. One of the standout features of Sun Princess is its abundance of balconies, offering guests the opportunity to soak up the sunshine and enjoy the Caribbean views from the privacy of their own cabin. The ship also boasts The Dome, a transformational entertainment venue inspired by the terraces of Santorini, and a three-story Horizons Dining Room that is sure to impress.
What’s more, Sun Princess will feature the exclusive Princess Medallion, a cutting-edge technology that enhances the personalized experience for guests. With the Princess Medallion, guests can enjoy the best of both worlds – the intimate and personalized experience of a small ship, combined with the top-notch amenities of a large ship.
Inaugural cruises to the Mediterranean and Europe in 2024 are already on sale, and Caribbean voyages will be available for booking starting April 19, 2023.
