About Royal Princess
Royal Princess launched the Royal Class in June 2013 and was christened in Southampton by the Duchess of Cambridge, now the Princess of Wales. At 142,229 gross tons with 1,780 staterooms and 3,560 guests at double occupancy, she introduced the features that every later Princess ship inherited: the three-deck Piazza atrium, the SeaWalk glass walkway 128 feet above the water, the Princess WaterColor Fantasy fountain show and a ship where almost every outside stateroom has a balcony.
Dining runs through the Allegro, Concerto and Symphony main dining rooms, the World Fresh Marketplace buffet and the International Café, with Crown Grill, Sabatini’s, Alfredo’s Pizzeria, Chef’s Table Lumiere, the Ocean Terrace seafood bar and the Crab Shack pop-up as extras. Mini-suites in the Reserve Collection and all suites have their own dining area, and the adults-only Sanctuary and Lotus Spa with The Enclave thermal suite are the places to unwind.
Royal Princess is Princess’s globetrotter for 2026 and 2027. After a summer of Alaska cruises from Seattle she sails a Grand Adventure through Japan and Southeast Asia to Singapore, homeports there for two cruises in October and November 2026, then sails from Sydney through the 2026 to 2027 Australian summer to New Zealand, Fiji and the Queensland coast. Summer 2027 brings 7 night Glacier Bay cruises from Seattle every Saturday, and she returns to Sydney in November 2027.

Staterooms and suites
Interior

Balcony
730 Balcony staterooms of about 214 to 222 sq ft; Royal Princess has no standard oceanview category, so a balcony is the starting point for a sea view and the right call for Glacier Bay and the Inside Passage.

Mini-Suite and Reserve Collection
314 Mini-Suites of about 323 sq ft with a sitting area, sofa bed and bathtub; Reserve Collection Mini-Suites add an exclusive area of the main dining room with expedited seating and premium touches.
