Do Princess Cruises have movie theaters?

Catch Movies Under the Stars®, our giant 300-square foot poolside movie theater with a 69,000-watt sound system.



Yes, Princess Cruises is famous for its "Movies Under the Stars" experience, which features a massive 300-square-foot poolside movie screen on the top deck. This outdoor theater provides a 69,000-watt sound system for blockbuster Hollywood movies, sporting events, and concerts. Princess makes this special by providing comfortable chaise lounges, complimentary popcorn, warm cookies, and cozy blankets for evening screenings. In addition to the outdoor screen, the ships feature the Princess Theater, which is the largest indoor entertainment venue on board. While primarily used for Broadway-style production shows and lecturers, the Princess Theater also screens movies during the day and on specific "cinema nights." In 2026, the fleet continues to prioritize these "cinematic" moments as a core part of their brand identity, ensuring that whether you want to watch a film in a high-tech indoor theater or under the open sky, there is always a high-quality option available.
