Princess Cruises’ Sun Princess has set sail with new livery, Club Class Mini-Suites, a Camp Discovery centre for young passengers and enhanced retail boutiques following a 14-day, multi-million dollar dry dock in Singapore.
Renovated as part of the line’s US$450 million, fleet-wide ‘Come Back New Promise’, Sun Princess was fitted with a Camp Discovery centre for passengers aged 3-17, which has been created in partnership with Discovery as part of Princess Cruises’ Discovery at Sea programme. In addition, the vessel now offers the Club Class Mini-Suites premium stateroom category, which also enables guests to benefit from exclusive amenities, expedited seating and expanded menus in reserved dining areas, and priority embarkation and disembarkation. Meanwhile, the boutiques in the Shops of Princess area have been redesigned and expanded to include a branded Effy Fine Jewelry boutique.
Following her renovation, Sun Princess embarked on a series of cruises in Southeast Asia. The vessel will return to Australia in early 2019, sailing itineraries on the country’s western coast and eastern coast before repositioning to New Zealand.
"Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand have always had an allure for travellers, and cruising is one of the best ways to explore this part of the world," said Jan Swartz, Princess Cruises president. "We are thrilled to provide guests sailing the regions with our newest onboard features that enhance their cruise experience while sailing this beautiful part of the world."
