Suite amenities include a complimentary minibar setup, with further benefits available through Sanctuary Collection on eligible sailings. Full-Suite guests receive access to a private Suite Lounge and concierge assistance, alongside the collection’s dedicated dining and relaxation spaces.

    Royal Princess Balcony Mini-Suites provide extra living space, with a separate sitting area, sofa bed and two televisions. A private balcony gives you somewhere to enjoy the sea air, while standard bathroom layouts include a combined bath and shower. The additional space can be especially welcome on longer voyages or when travelling with family.

Check the category carefully when choosing, particularly when private outdoor space is a priority. Eligible Sanctuary Collection Mini-Suites add dedicated dining and access to selected private onboard spaces.
