Crown Princess at Sea

Crown Princess:

Enjoy sweeping views of the world while sailing on Crown Princess. From her nearly 900 balconies to the breathtaking three-story Atrium, you'll discover a relaxing atmosphere filled with an array of world-class entertainment and dining options that will greet you each day when you return from making fascinating discoveries ashore.

Wheelchair-Accessible: Princess offers a selection of staterooms that provide full wheelchair-turning space. In addition, these staterooms include a roll-in shower equipped with grab bars and a fold-down bench seat, an easy-access closet, and an accessible writing desk.

Interior: These staterooms are the perfect place to recharge your batteries. Our most affordable option features two twin beds or a queen-size bed. Other amenities include a refrigerator, hair dryer, TV, closet, and bathroom with shower.

Oceanview: Enjoy the added benefit of a view of the ocean from either a picture window or porthole that brings in natural light. This stateroom includes all the amenities of an interior room.

Balcony: This impressive stateroom offers the added indulgence of a balcony and gives you more space than a standard stateroom. Enjoy your own private outdoor space with a table, two chairs, and a relaxing view of the inspiring scenery surrounding you, whether a beautiful sunset over the ocean or a new city to explore. It’s also perfect to enjoy cocktails before dinner or a leisurely breakfast.

Mini-Suite: Choose a luxurious Mini-Suite with a balcony* which is substantially larger than a Balcony stateroom and receive a complimentary welcome glass of bubbly. Mini-suites include a separate sitting area with a sofa bed and two flat-panel televisions. For families or groups needing a little extra space, Mini-Suites offer an appealing and affordable option.

Suite: Surrounding you with deluxe accommodations, a spacious Suite with a balcony* includes all the amenities of a Reserve Collection Mini-Suite^, plus incredible premiums. Enjoy more living space, a sofa bed, separate seating areas, and wonderfully enhanced amenities that range from priority disembarkation to a complimentary mini-bar setup in the suite and so much more.
