The Story

Princess Cruises has built a reputation as one of the most recognizable names on the ocean, known for a polished yet approachable style that draws everyone from first-time cruisers to seasoned seafarers. With ships like the Sun Princess, Regal Princess, and Enchanted Princess sailing routes across the globe, the line strikes a balance between relaxed elegance and genuine adventure.

With 1,517 upcoming sailings and fares starting from just $194, Princess covers an impressive range of destinations. The Caribbean and Mediterranean are perennial favorites, but the line also shines in Alaska — departing regularly from Vancouver, BC — and across Asia. Sailings from Fort Lauderdale and Civitavecchia (Rome) open the door to itineraries that span everything from quick getaways to extended ocean crossings. The newer Sphere-class Sun Princess represents a significant evolution for the fleet, while the Royal-class ships like Regal Princess and Enchanted Princess remain beloved for their signature profile and thoughtful design. Princess is particularly known for its MedallionClass technology, Movies Under the Stars poolside screens, and a dining program that gives passengers real flexibility without the stuffiness of fixed seating.

Princess tends to attract travelers who want substance without pretension — couples, multi-generational families, and solo cruisers who appreciate good food, enrichment programming, and itineraries that actually go somewhere interesting. The line's strength in longer voyages and world cruises also makes it a go-to for experienced ocean cruisers looking to cover serious nautical miles.
