Princess Cruises unveiled its second Sphere Class cruise ship, Star Princess, which will sail an inaugural season of Mediterranean voyages when she debuts in August 2025. Star Princess is 20 percent larger than any of the line’s existing ships and will offer a number of new and incredibly ground-breaking spaces, such as:
- The Dome, a transformational entertainment venue inspired by the terraces of Santorini;
- the next-level Piazza featuring a glass sphere;
- the “see it to believe it” Princess Arena, a configurable, technologically-advanced main theater; and
- a majestic dining room positioned aft of the ship to deliver unforgettable wake views.
Star Princess will also offer a number of spectacular features with an array of exciting new food and beverage concepts; a magnificent, expanded casino; a two-story Lotus Spa; and mesmerizing entertainment headlined by Cirque Éloize. Guests will also love the expanded accommodations options with luxurious staterooms and suites, including the new Reserve and Signature Collections. Star Princess will also showcase the exclusive Princess Medallion service that extends Princess’ leadership position in delivering exceptional personalized experiences.
The new Princess Cruises ship will be the second in the Princess fleet to be powered by LNG fuel technology and also is being built with the most advanced sustainable innovations available. Star Princess debuts August 4, 2025, sailing a nine-day Inaugural Italy & Greece roundtrip voyage from Rome (Civitavecchia), featuring the destinations of Corfu, Kotor, Mykonos, Santorini, and Naples (for Capri and Pompeii), followed by a variety of 9- and 10-day cruises sailing from Rome, Athens or Trieste (Venice) that visit idyllic coastal ports.
