Sun Princess

Chef-led restaurants on Sun Princess

Sun Princess builds her speciality dining around named chefs and hands-on cooking. At The Butcher’s Block by Dario, master butcher Dario Cecchini’s premium cuts are the point of the evening, while Makoto Ocean serves sushi and Japanese seafood from Chef Makoto Okuwa. At Umai Teppanyaki the chefs work the flaming griddle in front of you, which turns dinner into something to watch as well as eat. All three carry a charge on top of the fare.

The included dining runs all day, from casual meals and fresh-baked pastries to a café that stays open around the clock for sandwiches and speciality coffee.

Caribbean round-trips and three-week Mediterranean voyages

From November to March, through the Australian summer, Sun Princess sails the Caribbean on round-trips from Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida, of 11 or 14 nights, alongside 6- and 7-night sailings. Stops change between departures, but you might see San Juan, Puerto Rico, Cozumel, Mexico and Roatán, Honduras.

Between March and October she sails the Mediterranean, where her voyages run longer. She makes 18- and 21-night round-trips from Athens (Piraeus) and 21-night round-trips from Barcelona and from Rome (Civitavecchia). Her one-way voyages run 11 or 14 nights from Barcelona to Athens, 14 nights from Athens to Rome or Naples, and 7 nights from Barcelona to Rome or Naples. Ports vary from one departure to the next; Mykonos, Chania on Crete and Kuşadası for Ephesus are typical of them. Three weeks aboard leaves room for both the western and eastern shores of the sea on a single voyage.

Wherever she sails from, we book the flights from Australia, the hotel either side and the transfers as one holiday with the cruise, including the international flight home from the port where a one-way voyage ends. Star Princess also belongs to Princess Cruises’ Sphere Class.

Piano martinis, port-inspired cocktails and Princess Live!

Crooners, Good Spirits at Sea and Princess Live! set the tone for evenings on Sun Princess. All three are free to walk into, and drinks are charged unless a beverage package covers them. Crooners is an Art Déco lounge with handcrafted martinis and live piano. At Good Spirits at Sea, mixologist Rob Floyd guides a menu of cocktails inspired by ports and regions around the world, so the drinks follow the places she visits. Princess Live! puts on game shows, karaoke, comedy and music every day, whether you join in or simply watch.

Is Sun Princess an old ship?

No. She made her maiden voyage in 2024, so any sailing on sale puts you aboard a ship only a few years into service. The Princess Cruises page shows the rest of the line’s fleet and what sailing with them is like.

Sun Princess cabins and deck plans

The Sanctuary Collection is her suite tier. Its guests have The Sanctuary to themselves, an adults-only poolside retreat with al fresco dining, healthy cuisine and signature drinks at no extra cost. If you are wondering which cabins to avoid on her, the Sun Princess cabins and deck plans show what sits above and beside each cabin before you book.
