At Mettawings, we are always on the lookout for the latest and greatest in travel experiences. Recently, we had the pleasure of learning about the newest addition to the Princess Cruises fleet—the Sun Princess. In an exclusive interview with Insider Travel Report, Carmen Roig, Vice President of Sales at Princess Cruises, shared exciting details about this magnificent ship, which set sail earlier in 2024.
A New Era of Cruising
Princess Cruises leads the way in cruise industry innovation. The Sun Princess is no exception. This ship introduces several innovative design elements and unique features. One standout feature is the top-deck dome. It offers panoramic views and a breathtaking space for various activities and events. Whether you’re lounging by the pool during the day or enjoying a themed party at night, the dome promises an unparalleled experience.
The Sanctuary Collection: A Ship-Within-a-Ship
Another innovation is the Sanctuary Collection. This luxury concept within the ship provides a private, exclusive area for guests seeking a more intimate and indulgent cruise experience. With luxurious accommodations and personalized services, it’s a ship-within-a-ship designed for ultimate relaxation.
The Piazza: The Heart of Sun Princess
One of the most beloved features of the Sun Princess is The Piazza. This central atrium spans three stories and is surrounded by a stunning sphere of glass. It offers expansive ocean views in every direction. The Piazza serves as the social hub of the ship. It provides a vibrant space for guests to gather, relax, and enjoy a variety of entertainment options. From musical acts and game shows to the renowned Champagne Waterfall event, The Piazza captivates and delights passengers.
Why the “Love Boat”?
The Sun Princess is affectionately called the “newest Love Boat.” This name nods to the iconic TV series “The Love Boat,” which popularized cruising and featured Princess Cruises’ ships. The show, which aired from 1977 to 1986, showcased the romantic and adventurous aspects of cruising. It became a beloved part of pop culture. The Sun Princess continues this legacy with its elegant design, luxurious amenities, and commitment to creating unforgettable experiences for its guests.
Looking Ahead: Star Princess
Following the success of Sun Princess, her sister ship, Star Princess, is set to debut in fall 2025. This vessel will build upon the innovations introduced by Sun Princess. It will add even more unique features to enhance the cruising experience.
