The Royal Princess, part of Princess Cruises’ Royal-class fleet, departing from Sydney and Brisbane. Launched in 2013 this 141,000-ton ship carries up to 3,560 passengers and whilst one of the older ships in the Princess Fleet is elegant with modern touches.

Some highlights of Royal Princess

Excellent included main dining rooms with fantastic menus to casual bites at the Horizon Court buffet, there’s something for every palate.

Unique Features: Stroll the glass-bottomed SeaWalk, 128 feet above the ocean, or relax at the adults-only Sanctuary pool. Catch a movie under the stars at the massive poolside screen or unwind at the Lotus Spa, revamped in 2018.

Onboard Experience

With 17 decks, the Royal Princess feels spacious yet intimate, thanks to its smart layout. Enjoy Broadway-style shows, family-friendly activities at Camp Discovery, or cocktails at the vibrant Piazza atrium. While some note the ship’s layout can be tricky to navigate, the attentive service and variety of entertainment—like trivia, bingo, and live music—keep guests engaged.
