Calling all Princess fans! There’s exciting news about the arrival of the stunning Star Princess, the second ship in the innovative Sphere Class. While the inaugural sailings have shifted to ensure the ship meets Princess Cruises’ famously high standards, get ready for an unforgettable debut in Fall 2025!

“Following a comprehensive review of the remaining construction milestones, both parties have elected to adjust the ship’s delivery date from July 29, 2025 to September 26, 2025,” said Princess, adding bad news “which will result in the cancellation of the nine inaugural sailings.”

Star Princess sets sail for its first voyage on October 4th, 2025, kicking off with an incredible 11-day Mediterranean adventure roundtrip from Barcelona. This is followed by another enchanting 7-day Mediterranean voyage before embarking on a 14-day transatlantic crossing to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where it begins its Caribbean season. These new itineraries open for sale on April 30th, 2024, giving you plenty of time to secure your spot on this magnificent ship.

Princess Cruises understands that this adjustment may affect originally planned sailings. Guests booked on the impacted voyages will be offered a variety of options, including the chance to rebook any Princess cruise worldwide, including the Star Princess or its sister ship, the Sun Princess. Those who choose to rebook will receive attractive future cruise credits and onboard spending credits. Alternatively, guests can opt for a full refund of their cruise fare.

Get ready to experience next-level cruising on the Star Princess. This innovative ship boasts the iconic Princess style, along with breathtaking new additions like The Dome, the industry’s first geodesic feature on the top deck, and The Sphere, a stunning suspended glass Piazza at the heart of the ship. The wait may be a little longer, but the Star Princess promises an unforgettable voyage you won’t want to miss.
