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.

The main Horizons Dining Room spans three stories, providing stunning aft views and menus developed in partnership with the Culinary Institute of America.
Entertainment onboard the Sun Princess is both innovative and engaging, with the Princess Arena boasting advanced technology for theatrical productions and performances. The Dome and Piazza areas transform into dynamic venues for performances and events, including Cirque Éloize shows and a Champagne Waterfall, enhancing the evening ambiance.
Accommodations on the Sun Princess are designed to cater to a variety of preferences, featuring the cruise line's largest casino, a two-story Lotus Spa, and an expansive retail environment with over 200 premium brands.
