Princess Cruises’ beloved ship, Royal Princess, has officially emerged from a comprehensive two-week drydock in Singapore, revealing a host of exciting enhancements designed to elevate the guest experience. Among the most significant updates is the introduction of the premium Sanctuary Collection, a resort-style experience at sea offering exclusive access to the Sanctuary Club, elevated amenities, and personalized service. Guests sailing in Sanctuary Collection staterooms—which range from suites to newly constructed ocean-view cabins—will also enjoy exclusive access to a dedicated private restaurant.

The ship’s vibrant social heart, the Piazza, has been revitalized with the addition of O’Malley’s Irish Pub, bringing a lively atmosphere and Irish-inspired fare to deck 5. Nearby, the popular Bellini’s cocktail bar has been expanded, offering more space for guests to sip sparkling beverages while overlooking the bustling atrium. The Princess Casino has also been reconfigured to create a more open gaming environment with additional slot machines, and the onboard shopping experience has been refreshed with a new Effy jewelry boutique and an upgraded retail partnership with Starboard. Following these extensive upgrades, the Royal Princess is now headed to Sydney, Australia, ready to welcome guests for a spectacular season of cruising Down Under.
