Princess Cruises' largest ship ever, the Sun Princess, will make her United States debut in October 2024, providing the ultimate holiday to favourite Caribbean destinations on seven- and 14-day itineraries out of Ft Lauderdale, Florida.
The ship is the first in the line's new Sphere class, and will homeport at Port Everglades for the Winter, following a season of Mediterranean and Europe cruises when she launches in February 2024.
Princess Cruises president, John Padgett said that the new service will offer guests the best possible holiday experience.
"We are thrilled about the expansion of the Princess fleet and know that homeporting Sun Princess in Ft. Lauderdale offers a convenient option for guests to explore the most elevated experience ever from the Love Boat," said Padgett.
"The warmth, pristine beauty, and crystal-clear waters found throughout the Caribbean form an idyllic backdrop for our iconic new ship and create the perfect setting for Princess guests to enjoy the stunning views and playful adventure that are magnified on this beautiful, iconic new ship."
Currently under construction at the Fincantieri shipyard in Italy, the 175,500-ton, 4,300-guest Sun Princess will offer an array of exciting new dining, entertainment and activity offerings, as well as luxurious staterooms and suites across a broad spectrum of categories.
With the most balconies on any Princess ship, guests can take in the sunshine and crystal clear waters of the Caribbean from the comfort of their cabin. The Dome, a transformational entertainment venue inspired by the terraces of Santorini, is the perfect place to relax and the three-story Horizons Dining Room is sure to have everyone talking.
Sun Princess will also feature the exclusive Princess Medallion that will extend Princess' leadership position in delivering exceptional personalised experiences typical of small ships while enjoying only the best large ship amenities.
