Dining

It begins in a little village. Or a big city. Or a tropical island. Our chefs travel from their homes to our ships, bringing family recipes and enthusiasm along with them. They create dishes served by crew members who love to tell stories of their own, about where they're from and where they've been, and hear your stories too. Because food brings people together, especially here.

Activities

Enjoy the views, exercise, read, socialize with fellow retreatants, check your e-mails on your personal device or internet cafe, or just relax and enjoy time for prayer between our complete schedule of functions.  Click here to learn more about cruise activities.

Kids, Teens & Family: Unique and immersive travel experiences, including more time in more ports, Discovery™ and Animal Planet™ shore excursions, and award-winning onboard programs, have earned Princess the distinction of "Best Cruise Line for Multi-Generational Family Travel" in the Porthole Cruise Magazine 2018 Readers' Choice Awards.

 

Available stateroom options (fares rounded to the nearest $5):

***CALL US FOR CLUB CLASS MINI-SUITE AND FULL SUITE FARES***

Mini-suite with balcony: from $1,670 per person

Choose a luxurious mini-suite with balcony,^* which is substantially larger than a balcony stateroom, and receive a complimentary welcome glass of bubbly. Mini-suites include a separate sitting area with sofa bed and two flat-panel televisions. For families or groups needing a little extra space, mini-suites offer an appealing and affordable option.

*Some suites have windows rather than balconies and are labeled "mini-suite no balcony."

 

 

Standard balcony stateroom: from $1,425 per person

This impressive stateroom offers the added indulgence of a balcony and gives you more space than a standard stateroom. Enjoy your own private outdoor space with a table, two chairs, and a relaxing view of the inspiring scenery surrounding you, whether a beautiful sunset over the ocean or a new city to explore. It’s also perfect to enjoy cocktails before dinner or a leisurely breakfast.

 

 

 

Oceanview stateroom: $1,265 per person

Enjoy the added benefit of a view of the ocean from either a picture window or porthole that brings in natural light. This stateroom includes all the amenities of an interior room.

 

 

 

 

Interior stateroom: $990 per person

These staterooms are the perfect place to recharge your batteries. Our most affordable option, featuring two twin beds or a queen-sized bed. Other amenities include a refrigerator, hair dryer, TV, closet and bathroom with shower.

Those who book earliest are considered first for possible complimentary upgrades and other promotions.
