Production Shows
Your cruise will feature lavish production shows with one of the largest casts at sea in a setting that equals the best theaters ashore. Here's what you'll see: Broadway Ballroom Presents the music of the Great White Way with a ballroom flair, pairing the songs of hit musicals with dance numbers ranging from foxtrot to rumba. The show also features the talents of the choreographer and costume designer from the TV hit “Dancing with the Stars.” Once Upon a Dream Uses unique multidimensional cinematic projection to follow a dreamscape unlike anything seen at sea. The audience will accompany a young woman's journey as she dreams of everything from an English Garden Tea Party to singing camels in the desert, a trip through a waterfall and a brief nightmare before waking to a new day. Princess has once again raised the bar in offering our Passengers a great theatrical experience that's appropriate for all ages!
