It’s not every day that you get the chance to board a ship on a maiden voyage, and this isn’t just any ship; it’s Princess Cruises’ Sun Princess. Get ready to set sail for the Med as she rides toward the sunset during her inaugural season in 2024. While Princess Cruises may have inspired the hit television show The Love Boat, this is not your parents’ cruise line.

Sun Princess boasts industry firsts, including the Sea Breeze Rollglider – an electric overhead track to take guests high above for panoramic views. It’s all part of Park19, which offers engaging family activities such as a climbing structure; The Net, a highflying obstacle course with unstable bridges, a z-shaped balance beam and cargo nets; Infinite Horizon, which will cantilever you over the side of the ship; a Hammock Area, Splash Zone and open-air Jogging Track. However, if you’re looking to cruise at a more leisurely pace, you’ll be well catered for in The Dome area of Sun Princess, inspired by the terraces of Santorini; The Piazza, which connects you to the world with dynamic views and innovative experiences; or the Princess Arena, the company’s most technologically advanced performance space.

Hungry? Simply head to the three-deck Horizons Dining Room, the all-new Sea View Terrace, or the stateroom category Cabana Mini-Suite. Throughout your journey, you’ll have the opportunity to experience nature front and centre, no matter whether you’re sailing from Barcelona, Rome or Athens. Imagine getting drinks delivered to your balcony as a whale breaches. It’s easily done with Princess Cruies’ MedallionClass, a wearable device enabling everything from touch-free boarding to locating your loved ones on the ship.

It makes cruising completely effortless and is available to all guests on all ships, allowing them to do more of what they love. The value and peace of mind the all-inclusive packages provide are peerless, so you might consider upgrading to Princess Plus or Princess Premier, which include Wi-Fi, drinks, crew appreciation and more. And, with fly-cruise packages available, it’s never been easier to embark upon your own oceanic odyssey. Are you in the market for a memory-making experience with your nearest and dearest? Cruising with Princess is all about love. Set sail on Sun Princess this summer and feel the love.
