Princess Cruises introduces largest balconies at sea

Princess Cruises has announced its two newest ships, Sky Princess and Enchanted Princess, will have the largest balconies ever offered by a cruise line. 

The two ‘Sky Suites’ onboard Princess Cruises‘ new Sky Princess and Enchanted Princess will be centrally located on the ships’ top decks, with one measuring 1,012 square feet and the other 947 square feet. That’s around the size of half a tennis court.

The suites will provide a private vantage of the ships’ top deck Movies Under the Stars cinema screen, offer 270-degree panorama views and sleep up to five guests. They will feature two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a dining area with skylight.

Additional Sky Princess features include:

  • Princess Medallion-enabled. The Medallion is a complimentary, automated piece of technology, the same size as a 10p piece, given to each guest, that enables features including: keyless stateroom access, streamlined embarkation and disembarkation, enhanced interaction with crew members and other guests, and on demand beverage delivery
  • Enhanced entertainment including ‘Take Five’, a new jazz lounge, plus an expanded Princess Theatre
  • More than 25 restaurants and bars onboard including speciality restaurants the Crown Grill Steakhouse and Sabatini’s Italian Trattoria
  • Eight private cabanas in the Sanctuary, an adults-only area on the top deck designed for rest and relaxation
  • An extended spa with Princess’ largest thermal suite at sea, which will feature a hydrotherapy pool, heated stone beds, a Turkish bath and dry, steam and aromatherapy chambers

Sky Princess will launch in October 2019 and sail a short season in the Mediterranean before heading to the Caribbean. Enchanted Princess will launch in Southampton in June 2020 and then similarly sail the Mediterranean. The ships will carry 3,660 guests.
