SANTA CLARITA — Princess Cruises is giving the travel trade a first glimpse at renderings of Sun Princess, the line’s newest, largest and most innovative ship ever built.

Sun Princess is scheduled to debut in early 2024.

A first for Princess, the Horizons Dining Room introduces a three-storey dining concept, with wake views and natural light highlighting a decorative sculpture that stretches from deck 6 to deck 8. The three decks each have their own personalities, offer different dining experiences and range in levels of formality, says Princess.

Another next-level offering, the Princess Arena is the most technologically advanced Princess Theater design, according to the cruise line. A radical ceiling accentuates the Arena’s in-the-round configuration. Moveable seats and capacity of 1,000+ people allows for three configurations to maximize sight lines.
