Royal Princess Cruises
Royal Princess – big ocean views and a warm Princess welcome
Royal Princess brings a sense of occasion to holidays at sea, from the three-deck Piazza to the glass-floored SeaWalk extending beyond the ship’s side. Launched in 2013 as the first of Princess Cruises’ Royal Class ships, she welcomes around 3,600 guests with inviting lounges, varied dining and plenty of open-deck space. MedallionClass technology adds everyday convenience, including keyless stateroom entry, while seasonal departures from Sydney make exploring closer to home an appealing option. Whether you enjoy lively evenings or a quieter afternoon overlooking the ocean, Royal Princess gives you room to find your own holiday rhythm.
A sea day aboard the Royal Princess might begin with coffee and a pastry at International Café before a stroll across the SeaWalk. Spend the afternoon beside the pool, join an activity or book some time in The Enclave thermal suite. As evening approaches, meet for a drink overlooking the Piazza at Bellini’s, then enjoy dinner at Sabatini’s Italian Trattoria or a production in the Princess Theater.

The 2026–27 Australian season brings Royal Princess cruises from Sydney to New Zealand, Tasmania, Queensland and Fiji, alongside shorter coastal getaways. These departures offer a choice between a few days away and longer holidays with time to settle into life onboard. Royal Princess returns to Sydney for the 2027–28 Australian season, with further New Zealand and Tasmania sailings giving travellers more opportunities to explore from a familiar departure port.
For an overseas adventure, Royal Princess offers seven-night Alaska Inside Passage cruises round trip from Seattle during the 2027 and 2028 seasons. Itineraries include scenic cruising in Glacier Bay National Park and visits to ports such as Juneau, Skagway and Ketchikan. Days ashore bring opportunities to explore coastal communities and Alaska’s landscapes, while glacier-viewing days make time on deck a highlight of the journey.
Longer transpacific voyages provide another way to experience Royal Princess. Her March 2027 departure from Sydney offers options finishing in Los Angeles or Vancouver, with visits to New Zealand, Tahiti and Hawaii along the way. These extended journeys suit travellers who enjoy the balance of island discoveries and unhurried sea days, with time to make the ship feel like home.
