Sun Princess Chatter / Princess Cruises’ Sun Princess
« on: December 31, 2023, 09:04:40 AM »
"The first of a new Sphere class, it’s the largest ship in the Princess fleet coming in at 21 decks, 175,500 gross tons and a 4,314-passenger capacity based on double occupancy, which is about 30,000 more tons and 750 more guests than its last class of ships.

Currently under construction at the Fincantieri shipyards in Italy, its design will feature more balconies, a supersized 1,000-seat main theater called Princess Arena with an in-the-round layout with moveable seats and a three-deck main dining room.

A pair of unique offerings on the ship will be a bistro called The Butcher’s Block by Dario from celebrity Tuscany butcher Dario Cecchini and the Spellbound by Magic Castle venue in partnership with Hollywood landmark Magic Castle, a private club for the Academy of Magical Arts. The cruise venue will feature Victorian-era stylings amid themed rooms where servers will perform sleight-of-hand tricks while delivering theatrical cocktails."
