Longer itineraries explore New Zealand, Asia, and Hawaii, while selected world-voyage sectors let you sample iconic routes without committing to a full circumnavigation.

The fleet has grown with innovative venues, varied dining, and welcoming spaces designed for couples, families, and multi-generational groups.

Life On Board a Princess Ship
Princess ships are designed for balance, with relaxing spaces and lively venues side by side.
