Star Princess Makes Her Grand Debut — and She’s Every Bit the Showstopper We Hoped For!

All aboard for your daily dose of cruise news, straight from the horizon!

Cruise fans, the wait is officially over. Star Princess, the sparkling new flagship of Princess Cruises, has set sail from Barcelona on her highly anticipated maiden voyage, and she’s already turning heads across the Mediterranean!

Following in the wake of her sister ship, Sun Princess, this 175,000-ton beauty is the largest vessel ever built for Princess Cruises, and the second in the line’s innovative Sphere Class. Think sleek design, elevated experiences, and that unmistakable “Love Boat” charm, all with a fresh, modern twist.

What’s Onboard — and Why We’re Swooning

Star Princess takes the hallmarks of Princess luxury and infuses them with dazzling new features:

The Dome — a glass-enclosed, Santorini-inspired space that transforms from sun-soaked relaxation by day to vibrant entertainment by night.

Princess Arena — a next-generation theatre with 360-degree staging that puts every guest in the heart of the action.

New dining delights - including the Mediterranean-inspired Santé restaurant and exclusive menus curated by celebrity chefs.

The Love By Britto Collection — a bold, colorful art series that adds a playful touch to her elegant decor.

Every inch of this ship feels like a love letter to modern cruising, stylish, spacious, and made for making memories.

The Maiden Voyage

Setting off from Barcelona, Star Princess is sailing a 9-day Mediterranean adventure, visiting Gibraltar, Marseille, Genoa, and Civitavecchia (Rome). Guests can expect golden coastlines, unforgettable cuisine, and that giddy thrill of being part of a ship’s very first chapter.

What’s Next

After wrapping up her Mediterranean season in 2025, Star Princess will head across the Atlantic to Fort Lauderdale, where she’ll begin sailing Caribbean itineraries later in the year.

Something tells us she’s about to become every cruiser’s new obsession, the perfect blend of innovation, elegance, and that classic Princess touch.

Why We Can’t Wait to Sail

Between the panoramic ocean views, the next-level dining, and those sleek new staterooms, Star Princess feels like the kind of ship that’s made for “just one more night at sea.”

Trust us, this one’s going to shine bright for years to come.
