Is Princess building any new ships?

Sun Princess is scheduled for delivery in early 2024, while the second, as-yet-unnamed ship, is due for completion in 2025. Princess Cruises revealed the name of the new ship in September 2022.



Yes, Princess Cruises is actively expanding its fleet in 2026 and beyond with its next-generation Sphere Class vessels. Following the successful launch of the Sun Princess in 2024, the second ship in the class, the Star Princess, is scheduled to debut in late 2025/early 2026. These are the largest ships ever built for Princess, accommodating approximately 4,300 guests and featuring a unique "Dome" entertainment venue inspired by the terraces of Santorini. A third, yet-to-be-named Sphere Class ship has also been ordered for delivery in 2027. These new ships are significant because they are Princess's first vessels powered by Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), reflecting a major shift toward more sustainable maritime technology. In addition to the Sphere Class, Princess is constantly "re-imagining" its existing Royal Class ships through extensive dry-dock renovations to incorporate the latest "MedallionClass" technology and updated dining concepts. In 2026, the brand's focus remains on balancing "large ship" amenities—like the 24-story glass atrium and the largest casino in the fleet—with the refined, destination-focused experience that has made them the #1 cruise line in Alaska.
