Introducing the Sun Princess

S.W. Black Travel is pleased to introduce you to the Sun Princess, the latest addition to the Princess Cruises fleet, which has recently embarked on its inaugural 10-day Grand Mediterranean voyage from Rome.

John Padgett, President of Princess Cruises, remarked on the occasion, "The launch of the Sun Princess marks a new era for our brand, bringing forward a ship that combines advanced design and technology to provide an unmatched vacation experience." This emphasises the importance of the Sun Princess in offering an elevated cruise experience.

The Sun Princess introduces several architectural and design firsts for the brand, including The Dome, an impressive geodesic structure inspired by the iconic terraces of Santorini, offering panoramic views. The Sphere Atrium, the heart of this new class of ship, extends the traditional piazza with expansive ocean views and an open, airy design that promotes a relaxed lifestyle both indoors and outdoors.

 

Monika Best, a seasoned cruiser with Princess Cruises, praised the ship for its architectural beauty and its appeal to families and multi-generational travelers, highlighting the Sun Princess as a forward-thinking step for the cruise line.
