Grand Princess Cruises 2026 – 2027: Prices, Sailing Dates & Itinerary Schedules

Princess Cruises

Grand Princess

Grand Princess takes the feel of a classic resort-style ship and stretches it across a footprint that is easy to understand even on a first sailing. Its Grand-class layout blends a central Piazza hub, broad promenades, and layered lounges in a way that encourages guests to slip naturally between quiet corners and livelier spaces. Public rooms lean into warm woods, soft lighting, and familiar design details rather than dramatic statement pieces, so moving from the atrium to lounges, bars, and dining rooms feels relaxed and intuitive. The flow between open decks and interior venues is straightforward, with pools, terraces, and casual eateries positioned so guests can step in and out of the sun without long detours. Entertainment, dining, and family spaces are arranged to support an unhurried rhythm, helping guests fall into routines that feel personal and flexible rather than tightly scheduled.

Onboard Experience

Accommodation

Staterooms on Grand Princess are arranged to feel practical on busy days and restful when guests want to slow the pace. Interior cabins keep things simple with soft lighting, straightforward layouts, and enough storage to make unpacking for longer trips feel manageable. Oceanview categories add natural light and a framed view, giving guests a stronger sense of connection to the sea even when they prefer to spend time in air-conditioned comfort. Balcony cabins and mini-suites introduce defined seating areas and more generous outdoor space, which comes into its own when guests want their own private spot for reading, conversation, or quiet evenings. At the top end, suites add extra living room, larger balconies, and service touches such as priority services and enhanced amenities that appeal to guests who enjoy returning to a more residential feeling space. Throughout, the décor favors classic palettes and familiar furnishings that help cabins feel like functional, lived-in retreats rather than showpieces.

Dining

Dining aboard Grand Princess centers on the trio of main dining rooms—Botticelli, Da Vinci, and Michelangelo—which balance traditional multi-course service with flexible seating patterns and rotating menus. Horizon Court acts as the primary buffet, with a steady flow of made-to-order options and self-serve stations that work well for come-and-go meals. Alfredo’s Pizzeria offers sit-down, individual pizzas from an open kitchen, while Slice and The Salty Dog Grill handle quick favorites such as pizza by the slice, burgers, and hot sandwiches out on deck. International Café keeps pastries, light bites, and specialty coffees within easy reach in the Piazza at almost any hour. For a step up in occasion, Crown Grill delivers a dedicated steakhouse environment with grilled classics, and Sabatini’s Italian Trattoria focuses on multi-course Italian-inspired dinners built around pasta and regional dishes. Together with room service and small snacks from venues like Coffee & Cones, the dining setup makes it straightforward to move between casual grazing and more structured evening meals without complicated planning.

Bars & Lounges

The bar and lounge lineup on Grand Princess is built around a mix of classic cruise venues and newer concepts that favor relaxed, social evenings. Crooners Bar serves as the martini and piano lounge, with a songbook-style atmosphere that suits pre- and post-dinner drinks. Wheelhouse Bar leans into a nautical pub feel with comfortable seating and live music, while Explorers Lounge handles livelier events, themed evenings, and late-night entertainment. Vines Wine Bar in the Piazza offers wine flights, small plates, and a quieter corner for conversation, and Good Spirits at Sea pairs cocktails with storytelling-style demonstrations at the bar. Out on deck, The Mix and other poolside bars keep refreshments close to the water, and Snooker’s Cigar Lounge provides a more club-like environment for those who enjoy a slower pace. The overall mix lets guests move between low-key piano sets, upbeat lounge shows, and quiet corners without big shifts in mood or long walks across the ship.

Activities & Entertainment

The activity and entertainment program on Grand Princess is anchored by Princess Theater, which hosts production shows, guest performers, and musical acts on a rotating schedule. Vista Lounge and Explorers Lounge support smaller-scale performances, game shows, and interactive events that encourage guests to join in rather than simply watch. Movies Under the Stars turns the main pool deck into an outdoor cinema, while Grand Casino adds a classic gaming option for those who enjoy a livelier evening atmosphere. Lotus Spa and the adjacent fitness center provide a full menu of treatments, classes, and workout space, complemented by The Sanctuary for quiet, adults-only relaxation. Sports courts, a putting area, pools, hot tubs, and deck games give daytime hours a flexible, choose-your-own-pace feel. Dedicated youth spaces and teen lounges keep younger guests busy with supervised activities and age-appropriate hangouts so adults can focus on their preferred ways to spend time onboard.

Grand Princess Highlights

Grand Princess stands out through the way its core venues are linked across a familiar, resort-style layout. The Piazza serves as a visual and social anchor, tying together International Café, Vines, nearby bars, and the surrounding lounges into a central gathering area that feels active from early morning coffee through late-night music. Botticelli, Da Vinci, and Michelangelo Dining Rooms, Horizon Court, Alfredo’s Pizzeria, Slice, and The Salty Dog Grill form a dining circuit that is easy to navigate, with casual options and sit-down meals never far apart. Princess Theater, Vista Lounge, Explorers Lounge, and Grand Casino create an evening loop where guests can drift from shows to lounges and on to quieter corners at their own pace. Layered over this are wellness and retreat spaces such as Lotus Spa, the fitness center, and The Sanctuary, plus open decks and promenades that reward unhurried exploration, giving the ship a relaxed rhythm that many guests appreciate over multiple days at sea.
