New Sun Princess to Join Princess Cruises Fleet in 2024

Princess Cruises has released details of its next-generation ship, Sun Princess, which is scheduled to debut in February 2024. The 175,500-tonne vessel will become the largest vessel ever to be constructed under the brand, accommodating 4,300 guests and spanning 21 decks.

Highlights of the new Princess Cruises ship will include multi-storey dining rooms, next-level stateroom accommodation and The Dome, an entertainment space inspired by the terraces of Santorini.

Princess Cruises President John Padgett said: “Sun Princess is a new and bespoke ship platform, designed to simultaneously embrace Princess heritage while boldly pressing into the future with iconic, elegant and pure lines unique to our brand.

“A show-stopping, first-of-its-kind Dome on the top deck and suspended glass Piazza in the centre of Sun Princess offer innovative designs showcasing expansive ocean views for incredible opportunities to connect with the sea.”

Sun Princess will feature 2,157 total staterooms, including 50 suites and 100 connecting rooms. Exclusive to the new ship will be a new level of suite accommodations, the Signature Collection, which includes access to the Signature Restaurant, Signature Lounge and Signature Sun Deck, a private area of The Sanctuary.

The inaugural season for Sun Princess starts with Mediterranean itineraries, which went on sale from midnight on 16 September 2022. Sun Princess is the third ship to bear this name, adding to the legacy of the first that sailed between 1974 to 1988, and the second from 1995 to 2000.

  • There is a large market for past passengers who have lost their their loved ones for single cabins.
    ,Why are new ships not catering ?
    The reward for a long serving client is virtually double the cost to occupy a double cabin as a single.
    About time new ships built more single cabins,the demand warrants it

    • Hi Peter, most of the cruise ships do have single cabins availabe. Please call our Cruise Experts and we can certainly look at this for you. Thank you.
