Princess Offers a Few Surprises of Her Own
FT. LAUDERDALE,
Fla., Oct. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Princess
Cruises has unveiled exciting, new features for Star Princess, the
second Sphere Class ship set to debut in fall 2025. A stunning
replica of the sensational Sun Princess now sailing in the
Caribbean from Ft Lauderdale, Star Princess will offer
several unique enhancements, including non-smoking
casino areas, as well as expanded dining venues, and
leisure experiences, making her a standout addition to the
fleet.
The 4,300-guest, 178,000-ton Star Princess is the
second Sphere-Class ship in the Princess fleet and will also be
powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG), reflecting the brand's
commitment to sustainability. Echoing the sleek, sophisticated
design of Sun Princess, Star Princess will also boast cutting-edge
features like The Dome, the first geodesic dome at sea, and The
Sphere, a breathtaking glass-enclosed Piazza at the heart of the
ship.
"After the overwhelming response to Sun Princess,
we are excited to debut her sister ship, Star Princess, with added
enhancements to elevate the guest experience," said John Padgett, Princess Cruises president. "From
expanded non-smoking casino areas to new spaces for
relaxation and recreation, Star Princess will deliver an
unforgettable vacation for all when she launches in fall 2025."
