Entertainment is an important part of the cruise experience and Royal Princess is preparing to thrill guests with even more firsts. Princess Live!, the ship’s TV studio broadcasting events, live concerts, game shows, and interactive cooking programs, is one such first in the industry. The expansive Princess Theater, the largest to date, is a great place to take in a movie or signature show in a cozy, yet sophisticated setting; or opt to grab a cocktail while watching a comedy act, cabaret performance or dueling pianos.
Setting sail on her maiden voyage next spring, Royal Princess' European itineraries will include a 7-day Iberia cruise, 12-day grand Mediterranean voyage, 18-day Venetian passage, and 3-day advance preview cruises. Visit Princess.com to learn more.
