Star Princess
Star Princess represents the next generation of ocean elegance—an evolution of Princess style shaped around light, space, and seamless flow. Her wide promenades and glass-lined Piazza connect guests constantly to the sea, while the multi-form Princess Arena transforms evenings into immersive theatre. Dining carries the signature balance of tradition and innovation: classic venues blend with Crown Grill, Sabatini’s, and The Catch by Rudi for globally inspired flavors. Days move easily from coffee at Bellini’s to quiet Sanctuary hours or pools that open onto sweeping horizons. Nights glow across lounges, from O’Malley’s warmth to the skyline view of the Dome. Throughout, Star Princess feels poised yet approachable—a ship where design invites calm discovery, and every journey unfolds with the understated polish that defines Princess Cruises.

Onboard Experience
Accommodation
Star Princess organizes its staterooms around light, views, and easy circulation. Interior, oceanview, and balcony categories feel thoughtfully planned with generous wardrobes, practical vanities, and quiet insulation that keeps mornings unhurried. Reserve and Club-class options add dining benefits and small refinements that matter over a week at sea. Suites step up to expanded living areas and elevated amenities, while Sky Suites extend the horizon with panoramic glass and ample lounge space. Cabana Mini-Suites create a private indoor-outdoor rhythm for coffee at sunrise and blue-hour evenings. Sanctuary Collection accommodations layer in a calmer cadence with access to exclusive lounge, sundeck, and dining.Dining
The three-level main dining room sets the nightly tone—unrushed service, balanced menus, and sightlines that keep the sea in frame. Casual venues cover the open-day moments with fresh stations and late bites. Specialty choices define the week’s highlights: Crown Grill for a classic steakhouse evening, Sabatini’s for handmade Italian, and The Catch by Rudi for precise seafood plating. Japanese options such as Makoto and Umai bring a crisp, contemporary counterpoint. Coffee rituals orbit Bellini’s and the Piazza, while gelato and pastries keep the afternoon lively. Room service remains quietly efficient when you’d rather dine with the view to yourself.Bars & Lounges
The glass-walled Piazza acts as the ship’s living room—espresso by day, aperitivo by dusk. O’Malley’s draws acoustic sets and trivia energy; Princess Live! carries talk shows and late-night variety without losing intimacy. The Crown Grill Bar and Bellini’s pour proper classics, while terrace bars lean into golden-hour spritzes with a clear view of the wake. After shows in the Princess Arena, the flow continues smoothly to lounges where conversation carries, and nightcaps feel considered rather than rushed.Activities & Entertainment
The Princess Arena reconfigures for concerts, productions, and immersive staging that plays in-the-round. The Dome’s daylight transforms into evening spectacle with projections and live sets, while the Sea View Terrace & Bar stretches poolside time into relaxed social hours. Enrichment leans practical and polished—destination talks, culinary spotlights, and wellbeing sessions that fit naturally between port days. The fitness center keeps routines familiar; spa thermal circuits slow things down when the schedule allows. Families find rhythm with kids’ clubs and cinema nights, and sea days expand easily with deck games and quiet corners along the promenade.Star Princess Highlights
Star Princess is built around connection to the sea: a luminous Piazza, an amphitheater-style Arena, and outdoor terraces that keep the horizon close. Wayfinding is straightforward—Piazza at the center, entertainment forward, dining layered vertically—so meeting up stays simple on a ship of this size. Evenings gather momentum from pre-dinner Bellini’s to late music sets, with formal nights adding a shared sense of occasion. Itineraries focus on scenery-rich regions—Mediterranean summers, Northern light, and Alaska—where long sail-ins and late stays match the ship’s unhurried cadence.

FAQ
1 What makes The Dome on Star Princess different from a regular pool deck?
The Dome transforms throughout the day—by daylight it functions as an indoor–outdoor pool area with ample sun-lounging, and by night the space is covered and becomes a full-scale entertainment venue featuring aerial shows and immersive lighting effects.

Star Princess features the largest casino in the Princess fleet to date, including newly designated non-smoking sections with additional slot machines and more seating to accommodate guests who prefer a smoke-free gaming environment.

The SkyDeck atop Star Princess includes a sports court for pickleball and basketball, a jogging track, splash pad, and shaded lounge zones—all designed to provide active options with elevated views and fresh ocean air.
4 How does the ship’s sustainability profile stand out?
Star Princess is powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG), making it one of the more environmentally advanced vessels in the Princess fleet. This reduces emissions and reflects the brand’s commitment to cleaner operations.

Beyond standard balcony and ocean-view cabins, Star Princess offers innovative Cabana Mini-Suites with indoor/outdoor flow, plus the Sanctuary Collection—a quiet, elevated zone for adults or suite guests that includes a private sundeck, lounge, and dedicated dining.
6 With such a large ship design, how has space been optimized?
Despite its scale, Star Princess is organized as a “floating city” where key hubs (Piazza, Dome, SkyDeck) are intuitive and guest movement is prioritized. Spaces for activity and relaxation are well separated, helping avoid the feeling of crowds.
7 What itineraries are planned for Star Princess at launch and beyond?
At launch, Star Princess debuts in the Mediterranean, then repositions to the Caribbean, and later sails to Alaska—letting guests experience a wide variety of destinations with fresh homeport contexts.
8 How are interior and balcony staterooms equipped for modern travelers?
Staterooms come with upgraded amenities such as high-thread-count linens, full-size refrigerators, dual USB-C/USB outlets, floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors for balcony cabins, and smart-design wardrobes—aimed at comfort, connectivity, and convenience.
9 What technology personalizes the guest experience onboard?
Star Princess is a full MedallionClass® ship. The OceanMedallion wearable unlocks stateroom doors automatically, helps locate friends and family, enables food and drink delivery anywhere onboard, and streamlines embarkation and payments.
10 How does Star Princess differ from her sister ship Sun Princess?
While sharing the Sphere-class platform, Star Princess introduces refinements inspired by guest feedback from Sun Princess, including expanded indoor lounge areas near the Piazza, upgraded suite layouts, and new lighting concepts in The Dome for evening shows.
