Star Princess new highlights revealed by Princess Cruises

Princess Cruises has unveiled exciting, new features for Star Princess, the second Sphere Class ship set to debut in autumn 2025.

The sister ship of Sun Princess (which is now sailing in the Caribbean from Fort Lauderdale) Star Princess will offer several unique enhancements, including expanded dining venues, leisure experiences and non-smoking casino areas, making her a standout addition to the fleet.

What do we know about Star Princess?

The 4,300-guest, 178,000-ton vessel is the second Sphere-Class ship in the Princess fleet and will also be powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG), reflecting the brand’s commitment to sustainability.

Echoing the sleek, sophisticated design of Sun Princess, Star Princess will also boast cutting-edge features like The Dome, the first geodesic dome at sea, and The Sphere, a breathtaking glass-enclosed Piazza at the heart of the ship.

“After the overwhelming response to Sun Princess, we are excited to debut her sister ship, Star Princess, with added enhancements to elevate the guest experience,” said John Padgett, Princess Cruises president. “From expanded non-smoking casino areas to new spaces for relaxation and recreation, Star Princess will deliver an unforgettable holiday for all when she launches in fall 2025.”
