After a two-week drydock in Palermo, Italy, Majestic Princess has set sail with an exciting array of new venues, reimagined spaces and refined touches in preparation for its 2025 Mediterranean season. 

A host of new enhanced features, including various elevated culinary experiences and social spaces, will greet guests aboard the freshly renovated Princess Cruises ship.
