A new standard of luxury with Princess Cruises' Sphere Class

For the experienced cruiser, the distinction between a standard holiday and a truly exceptional voyage lies in the details. You want exclusive spaces, superior dining, and an environment that caters to a refined lifestyle. Princess Cruises has elevated the standard of ocean travel with the introduction of their Sphere Class ships, Sun Princess and Star Princess.

A new standard of luxury with Princess Cruises' Sphere Class

Introducing the Sphere Class

The Sphere Class marks a bold new direction for Princess Cruises. Sun Princess and her sister ship Star Princess are the most impressive vessels ever constructed by the line. They are built to provide spacious yet intimate venues, giving you more room to explore and relax.

High at the top of the ships sits The Dome. This groundbreaking geodesic, glass-enclosed structure draws its inspiration from the beautiful terraces of Santorini. By day, it’s a comfortable pool area; by night, it transforms into an elite entertainment venue featuring performances under the stars.

The Sanctuary Collection: Bespoke luxury at sea

For guests seeking the ultimate in quiet luxury, the new Sanctuary Collection is the definitive choice. Available exclusively on Sun Princess and Star Princess, this premium accommodation category replaces the former Signature and Reserve collections, offering a highly curated, luxurious experience.

When you reserve a Sanctuary Suite, Sanctuary Mini-Suite, or a Sanctuary Deluxe Balcony, you gain access to an entirely new world of bespoke amenities, private spaces, and premium service.

Exclusive spaces

A hallmark of the Sanctuary Collection is private access to the top deck Sanctuary Club. Reserved exclusively for adults aged 16 and over, this retreat features plush lounge furniture, private cabanas, a pool, and a Jacuzzi. You can spend the day in total comfort, ordering from a custom menu of light fare and craft cocktails, or even booking a private open-air massage.

Dining is equally exclusive. Sanctuary Collection guests have access to the private Sanctuary Restaurant. This dedicated venue offers a custom chef's menu and highly attentive waitstaff. There is no need to make reservations; elevated dining is ready whenever you are, ensuring maximum flexibility during your voyage. Furthermore, if you book a Sanctuary Suite, you will enjoy exclusive access to the Suite Lounge, the perfect environment for a quiet morning coffee or pre-dinner drinks.

The Princess Premier Package: Seamless indulgence

To ensure a completely seamless and all-inclusive experience, every Sanctuary Collection booking automatically includes the Princess Premier package. This is the highest-level inclusive bundle offered by the cruise line, adding exceptional value and convenience to your journey.

With this package, you receive the Premier Beverage Package, covering premium drinks up to 20 dollars each. You will also enjoy reliable MedallionNet Wi-Fi for up to four devices, ensuring you stay connected at sea. Best of all, both specialty and casual dining are now completely unlimited - so you can indulge as often as you like, at any venue that catches your eye.

 You even receive reserved seating in the main theatre, allowing you to bypass the queues and enjoy the spectacular productions in absolute comfort.

Culinary masterpieces and world-class entertainment

The dining options across the Sphere Class are vast and varied, with thirty inviting restaurant and bar venues. Princess Cruises has partnered with a collection of esteemed culinary figures to provide remarkable gastronomic experiences.

You can indulge in exceptional cuts of meat at The Butcher's Block by Dario, a partnership with Dario Cecchini, widely regarded as the most famous butcher in the world. For fans of Japanese cuisine, Makoto Ocean offers masterful Edomae-style sushi curated by Makoto Okuwa. You can also explore Love by Britto, an artistically inspired dining venue created in collaboration with world-renowned artist Romero Britto.

Entertainment is equally advanced. The Princess Arena is the most technologically sophisticated theatre design in the fleet, featuring three distinct configurations to maximise sightlines. For a truly unique evening, you can experience Spellbound by Magic Castle, an extraordinary venue that blends the captivating art of magic with expert mixology, featuring theatrical cocktails and surprises in themed rooms.

Discover the world in unparalleled comfort

The Sphere Class ships are designed to take you to some of the most sought-after locations globally. Sun Princess and Star Princess offer diverse itineraries spanning the Caribbean, allowing you to explore exclusive island destinations in superior comfort.

For those looking closer to home, the Fly-Med itineraries offer a highly sophisticated way to experience the cultural and historical riches of the Mediterranean. Alternatively, you can witness the majestic glaciers and rich wildlife of Alaska, navigate the engineering marvel of the Panama Canal, or cruise along the famed California Coast.

Whatever your preferred destination, the Sphere Class ensures you arrive in style, surrounded by premium facilities and exceptional service.

Beyond the magic: Why a Disney cruise is the perfect holiday for every generation

01 September 2026

When you think of a Disney cruise, you might expect a holiday designed first and foremost for children. So, when Head Office colleague Steve Hawker booked a cruise on Disney Dream for his three young children, he expected them to have the holiday of a lifetime. What he didn't expect was that the rest of the family would be just as enchanted. Travelling as a group of 13 across three generations, the experience quickly became far more than a children's holiday. From the moment their family was announced on board to the sound of Disney's famous horn fanfare, it was clear this was a cruise designed to bring everyone together, no matter their age.

10 August 2026

When you think of a Caribbean cruise, it's often the ports of call that steal the spotlight. But Norwegian Cruise Line is changing that with its private island, Great Stirrup Cay.
