Cruising has experienced a significant resurgence post-pandemic, with multi-generational travel emerging as a growing trend among families jumping on board for the convenience, variety and value cruising offers.
From grandparents treating the kids and grandkids to a family holiday, to extended families celebrating anniversaries, cruising ticks all the boxes for journeys that truly cater for every age, preference and style of traveller.
With a world-class fleet of ships, Princess Cruises offer ease of travel, unpack-once convenience and the opportunity to experience the best of every region, with award-winning shore excursions and enriching cultural experiences. And as you cruise in luxury between destinations, life on-board is an adventure in itself.
Where the journey is as important as the destination
Princess ships are renowned for their luxurious and expansive spaces, and the brand-new, recently launched Sun Princess® is no exception. Currently cruising around the Mediterranean, the Sun Princess is a state-of-the-art vessel featuring a range of luxurious accommodations, world class dining, vast entertainment options and stunning spaces to relax and explore.
The jewel in the Sun Princess’s crown is The Dome, a stunning glass-enclosed structure atop the ship, and the modern design of the outwardly suspended Sphere Atrium redefines the ship’s central Piazza hub, with stunning panoramic ocean views and a relaxed indoor-outdoor lifestyle.
MedallionClass® & The Princess Treatment
Personalised service is a priority on a Princess Cruise with a commitment to ensure every guest is taken care of, so life just feels easier. Even mundane tasks like juggling room keys or ordering a drink from the bar are solved with the clever Princess Medallion Class® technology, a 20-cent coin-sized, wearable device that enables everything from keyless entry to your stateroom, to locating your loved ones on the ship.
It also ensures anything you need comes to you wherever you are on the ship, so you can spend less time lining up and more time with your family. You can also access Wi-Fi, stay connected to friends and family at home, work remotely anywhere on the ship (if you must), or stream your favourite movies and shows.
