Exceeding all expectations
Princess Cruises’ fifth Royal-Class ship, Enchanted Princess, joined the fleet in December 2021 following a lengthy delay because of the COVID pandemic .
On her arrival, Jan Swartz, president of Princess Cruises, was finally able to say: “The name is captivating and conveys the elegance and grace of our new ship which will introduce more travellers to the pleasures and value of cruising. We are certain Enchanted Princess will exceed the expectations of our guests.”
The naming ceremony in Southampton made her the first Princess ship to be named in the UK since Royal Princess in 2013.
As with Sky Princess, Enchanted Princess features two new Sky Suites centrally located on the top deck of the ship. The 270-degree panorama staterooms provide a private vantage point of the ship’s Movies under the Stars screen and create a large space for entertaining.
The suites can accommodate up to five guests, making them ideal for families.
The ship also includes:
- Redesigned ‘Salty Dog Gastropub’. The venue will screen sporting events and offer a range of premium-range food and drink including the award-winning ‘Ernesto Burger’
- Art deco design for The Princess Live TV studio and café, where guests can watch live entertainment, order drinks and light snacks
‘Wakeview’ pool on its rear decks - Newly-designed top-deck ‘Sanctuary’, Princess Cruises’ adults only relaxation area, which will house extra private cabanas
