Sapphire Princess recently completed a dry dock remodeling in Singapore adding enhanced onboard spaces and product innovation. The goal: keep the good reports coming in on one of the most desired ships in the fleet.  As Sapphire Princess returns to service, we highlight new features added to the ship.  It’s all part of a $450 milion Come Back New Promise, a multi-year ship rennovation initiative.

“Sapphire Princess is the latest ship to debut many of the signature offerings we know our guests value, enjoy and look forward to experiencing when they travel the world with Princess,” -Jan Swartz, Princess Cruises president.

Currently wrapping up a season cruising throughout Asia, Sapphire Princess is on a 28-day voyage from Singapore to London right now.  There, Sapphire Princess will begin European voyages to destinations in the Mediterranean and Northern Europe including Monte Carlo, Lisbon, Brussels, St. Petersburg and an opportunity to cruise the Norwegian Fjords during Summer Solstice.
