Princess Cruises has announced exciting new features for Star Princess, the second ship in the Sphere Class set to launch in 2025. A beautiful replica of the popular Sun Princess, which currently sails in the Caribbean from Fort Lauderdale, Star Princess will introduce several unique enhancements. These include expanded dining options, leisure experiences and non-smoking casino areas, making her a remarkable addition to the fleet.
Accommodating 4,300 guests and weighing 178,000 tons, Star Princess is designed to provide a luxurious experience. Like her sister ship, she will be powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG), showcasing the brand’s commitment to sustainability. With a sleek and sophisticated design, Star Princess will feature cutting-edge elements such as The Dome, the first geodesic dome at sea, and The Sphere, a stunning glass-enclosed Piazza that serves as the ship’s central hub.
“After the overwhelming response to Sun Princess, we are excited to debut her sister ship, Star Princess, with added enhancements to elevate the guest experience,” said John Padgett, Princess Cruises President. “From expanded non-smoking casino areas to new spaces for relaxation and recreation, Star Princess will deliver an unforgettable holiday for all when she launches in autumn 2025.”
