What toiletries does Princess Cruises provide?

Toiletries. Princess' in-cabin bathrooms offer dispensers of generic shampoo and body wash; you won't find individual bottles of conditioner and shower gel. If the generic stuff tends to dry out your skin or depress your curls, you'll want to pack your own toiletries (in TSA-approved bottles if you're flying).



Princess Cruises provides a solid baseline of eco-friendly toiletries in all staterooms as of 2026. Through their partnership with Beekman 1802, guests find dispensers in the shower containing sustainable, high-quality shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. Small bars of facial soap and a bottle of body lotion are also provided on the vanity. While these are sufficient for most travelers, they are "standard" hotel-style amenities. If you have specific hair care needs or prefer luxury skincare, you should bring your own. Note that items like toothpaste, deodorant, and razors are not provided for free in the cabin but can be purchased at the onboard "Boutiques" if you forget to pack them in your luggage.

Princess Cruises provides a standard set of toiletries in all staterooms, but the specific brands and items can vary by ship and cabin category. Here’s a general breakdown:

In All Staterooms (Interior, Oceanview, Balcony):

  • Shampoo, Conditioner, and Body Lotion: These are provided in pump bottles mounted in the shower/tub area. The brand is typically “Elemis” (a British spa brand), but on some ships, it may be a generic “Princess” branded product.
  • Bar Soap: At least one bar of hand/bath soap is provided.
  • Body Wash/Gel: Often provided in a shower-mounted pump bottle alongside the shampoo.
  • Facial Tissue: A box is provided in the stateroom.

In Suites (Mini-Suites, Suites) and Club Class:

  • Enhanced Amenities: Guests in these categories receive an upgraded Elemis toiletries set. This typically includes the larger pump bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and body lotion, plus additional items like:
    • Body Wash
    • Gel Moisturizer
    • Soap Bars (often more than one)
  • Additional Items: Suite guests may also receive a vanity kit, shower cap, and sometimes a loofah or other small extras.

What They Typically Do NOT Provide (Bring Your Own):

  • Dental Kits: Toothpaste and toothbrushes are not provided unless you request them from your stateroom steward (they may have limited supplies).
