Princess Cruises · Star Princess
The Star Princess is Princess Cruises' newest ship, launched in October 2025 as the second of its Sphere class. At its heart is the Sphere — a glass-enclosed Piazza that opens the atrium to wide sea views — and above it The Dome, a glass-topped venue used for concerts and quiet evenings. Dining includes Sabatini's Italian, the Crown Grill steakhouse, and the Umai sushi experience, while the Princess Arena theater stages the ship's main productions. As a new ship with generous public spaces, it gives our group plenty of room to gather together and settle into the voyage.
