Princess Cruises’ latest Sphere Class ship Star Princess officially set sail on her maiden voyage from Barcelona on 4th October.
The Star Princess is the 17th vessel in the cruise line’s fleet and its first sailing will be an 11-day voyage in the Western Mediterranean.
The 177,800-ton, 4,300-guest Star Princess features 30 distinct dining and bar venues, elevated entertainment and activity offerings, and luxurious accommodation.
The voyage set forth from Barcelona, making its way to Marseille, Rome, Naples, Sicily, Cartagena and Gibraltar, before returning to Barcelona.
After a seven-day Mediterranean voyage, Star Princess sails a transatlantic voyage before debuting in Fort Lauderdale for her Caribbean season and official naming ceremony on 6th November.
After a winter 2025 through spring 2026 season of sundrenched Caribbean cruises, visiting the best destinations the region has to offer, Star Princess sails through the Panama Canal to Seattle for a debut season of seven-day Alaska Inside Passage cruises in the summer of 2026.
Indeed, Star Princess will be the newest and most spectacular ship offering voyages to Alaska.
