The Royal Princess is a Princess Cruises ship, which was built by Fincantieri at their shipyard in Monfalcone, Italy. She became the flagship of the Princess fleet, a designation previously held by the Grand Princess cruise ship. Her sister ship is the Regal Princess.

Construction began in 2011, she was launched in 2012, and was delivered to Princess Cruises in Spring 2013. The ship measures 141,000 gross tonnes and can hold up to 3,600 guests. She also has more dining options the previous Princess vessels. The Duchess of Cambridge named the Royal Princess in a naming ceremony in Southampton on 13 June 2013. The ceremony upheld British ship-naming traditions including the blessing, a performance by the Royal Marines and the pipers of the Irish Guards.

Activities & Entertainment

Princess Theatre

Princess Theatre

This big venue spans decks six and seven and is the Royal Princess' main theatre. The seating is palladium style and the theatre is deep, so a good tip is to arrive early to find a great seat. Late arrivals often have to sit at the back, which doesn't offer a great view. Coming early will also allow you to order a pre-dinner drink and get comfortable before the show starts. It is also a hub of activity during the day, when they screen movies and host enrichment programmes like their Scholarship@Sea.
