Sky Princess Cruise Reviews

Fresh off her October 2019 debut, Princess’ newest ship, Sky Princess, elevates the line’s reputation for first-rate service and luxury at sea. From cruise line favorites such as the Lotus Spa to brand new Sky Suites which feature 270-degree views and the largest balconies in the fleet, passengers will experience a voyage filled with relaxation and indulgence. One of the first Princess vessels to offer the cutting-edge OceanMedallion program, Sky assigns each cruiser a wearable medallion that will enhance their onboard experience. This helps in facilitating embarkation, cabin access, and providing a means of locating travel companions on the ship.

With Broadway-style shows, Movies Under the Stars, and Festivals of the World, Sky Princess aims to keep passengers entertained on even its longest cruise. For travelers who prefer more active entertainment, Sky Princess includes a vibrant Vegas-style casino, a sports court, and several swimming pools — including two deep-tank pools. Talented cruisers can show off their singing abilities in The Voice of the Ocean singing competition. Plus, the Discovery at Sea programs offer fun for the whole family with stargazing on the top deck and activities inspired by Discovery’s hit shows.
