Does Princess Cruises provide soap and shampoo?

Your cruise ship will provide basic toiletries for the shower, so there is no reason to waste precious luggage space on shampoo and conditioner. Check the bathroom before you leave to make sure you haven't left behind contact lenses, contact solution, glasses, medications, deodorant, mouthwash and hair gel.



Yes, Princess Cruises provides complimentary toiletries in all staterooms, so you can save space in your luggage if you aren't picky about specific brands. As of 2026, the cruise line has partnered with Beekman 1802 to provide sustainable, eco-friendly, and cruelty-free products. You will find wall-mounted dispensers in the shower containing shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, along with bar soap and body lotion on the vanity. These products are designed with a light, fresh scent suitable for most guests. While these "hotel-style" amenities are of high quality, guests with specific hair care needs or skin sensitivities may still prefer to bring their own preferred brands. If you are staying in a higher-tier category like a Suite or the Sanctuary Collection, you may receive upgraded or additional luxury bath amenities as part of your premium booking perks.
