Princess Cruises has revealed a first glimpse of its “The Love Boat” – the line’s newest, largest and most innovative ship ever built and scheduled to debut in early 2024.
Notable spaces include Princess Arena theatre which can accommodate approximately 1000 guests and a three-story Horizons Dining Room – a first for Princess.
The cruise line said that the three decks will “each have their own personalities”, offer different dining experiences and range in levels of formality.
John Padgett, President of Princess Cruises, said: “With the construction of any new ship, we have the incredible opportunity to design standout spaces with our guests’ preferences in mind.”
“With the new platform and size of Sun Princess, we’re uniquely able to refresh venues we know our guests love and expand upon, redesign and elevate them to the next level.
We know our sun-inspired designs will exceed expectations and elevate the entire Princess experience.”
Other spaces scheduled to debut onboard Sun Princess in early 2024 include:
Alfredo’s Pizzeria – Comes with an open kitchen design, allowing guests to watch as the chefs create pizza by hand and serve them straight out of the oven.
New to the kitchen is a professional, open-mouth oven that reaches 968 degrees, allowing chefs to create a truly authentic contemporary Neapolitan pizza.
Princess Casino – The largest Princess casino in both size and number of gaming positions, located in the Piazza.
The spacious floor plan ensures guest comfort and entertainment with over 200 of the newest and most popular slots and video poker games.
