Princess Cruises has announced its biggest-ever Alaska season for 2026, highlighted by the debut of the newest ship in its fleet, Star Princess. The expanded Alaska program features eight ships, 180 departures, and 19 destinations.

For the first time, guests will have the opportunity to explore Alaska aboard a Sphere class ship as Star Princess sails her first summer season in Alaska, offering beautiful wildlife and glacier views. Star Princess will be the second ship in the Sphere class after Sun Princess, and is set to launch in fall 2025.

Bookings open on August 1st with the “Better Than Best Price Guarantee,” offering the best rates and 120 percent of the price difference as onboard credit if a lower rate is found before final payment. This promotion ends on September 2nd.

Highlights for Princess’ 2026 Alaska season include:

Eight Ships Sailing in Alaska

In 2026, travelers will be able to choose from 180 departures from five ports aboard eight ships. Options include:

Voyage of the Glaciers

Discovery, Grand, Coral, and Island Princess will offer seven-day journeys to view two Alaska glaciers, and Princess takes more guests to Glacier Bay National Park than any other cruise line. These itineraries are combinable for guests to indulge in a 14-day Voyage of the Glaciers Grand Adventure.

Inside Passage

Guests can enjoy seven to 20-day cruises and up to four glacier-viewing experiences when they sail the Inside Passage and visit the highest-rated Alaska destinations and lesser-known gems from convenient homeports, including weekend departures from Seattle (Ruby and Star Princess), San Francisco (Ruby Princess), Vancouver (Emerald Princess), and Los Angeles (Emerald Princess).

Longer Sailings

Guests who want to spend more time with Princess this Alaska season can opt for a 20-day Ultimate Alaska Solstice on Ruby Princess sailing roundtrip from San Francisco, and a 16-day Inside Passage on Emerald Princess roundtrip from Los Angeles.

Adventures Ashore

Princess gives guests the chance to expand their cruise experience with shore excursions. From “Cook My Catch” fishing for dinner, flying on a helicopter through mountainous views, watching breaching whales, and more, guests have a plethora of excursions to choose from.

‘North to Alaska With Princess’ Program

The award-winning “North to Alaska with Princess’ program enriches each Alaska cruise with cultural and educational activities including naturalist talks, a planetarium Northern Lights experience, and a fresh local Alaska seafood menu. In addition, the popular Junior Ranger program for young cruisers ensures guests of all ages enjoy their Alaska cruise as they explore the state’s rich history.

Cruisetours

Combining a cruise with a land tour is a great way to maximize an Alaska vacation, including the chance to visit Denali National Park and beyond. The 2026 season includes over 20 cruisetour options.

One highlight is the 15-night National Parks Tour, perfect for those who want to seamlessly get their National Parks Passport stamped. Guests will adventure to five of Alaska’s parks including Glacier Bay, Denali, Wrangell-St. Elias, Kenai Fjords National Park, and Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park in Skagway. The experience combines a seven-day cruise, scenic rail travel, and eight nights ashore, including stays at four Princess-owned wilderness lodges.

Princess Cruises has revealed that some of the previously announced top-deck features for its new ship Sun Princess will not be opening.

In a press statement, the line said “We regret to announce that Princess is unable to accept delivery of the RollGlider, Coastal Climb, and Ropes Course features within Park19 aboard Sun Princess and those experiences will not be opening.”

Park19 is a three-story family activities area at the top of the ship. The rollglider would have been an overhead track that allowed seated and harnessed riders to reach speeds of up to 11 miles per hour during a 60 to 90 second experience.

Coastal Climb was supposed to be a climbing structure where passengers could ascend from deck 19 to deck 20 through a series of obstacles. Once at the top, they’d be able to slide back down to the bottom.

The statement continued, “We are actively evaluating these areas for future recreational opportunities to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all our guests.”

No reason has been given as to why the attractions will not be opening.

Other attractions and amenities that are currently open and available in Park19 include:

• Infinite Horizon: Leaning tilt walls that cantilever over the side of the ship, allowing guests to peer out from deck 19 and look down to deck 9 and beyond
• Hammock Area: Relaxing hammocks that offer a great way to hang out with family and friends
• Splash Zone: A whimsical splash area with pop jets and a beautiful water sculpture offering a refreshing and relaxing area to chill
• Recreational Court: This multifunctional sports court offers a number of options including cornhole, ping pong, shuffleboard, and more
• Jogging Track: A refreshing open-air track where guests can walk, jog, or run at their own leisure and pace

Sun Princess is Princess Cruises’ newest ship and the first in its Sphere class. It debuted in February 2024.

Princess Cruises has announced a new celebrity chef collaboration with Pizza Chef Tony Gemignani, the 13-time World Pizza Champion and undisputed greatest pizza maker in modern history.

Chef Gemignani has created five unique pizzas for Princess, each with an exciting blend of flavors and premium ingredients from Soppressata sausage and hot honey to gorgonzola and sweet fig preserve, further enhancing the line’s position as offering the best pizza at sea.

Chef Gemignani’s artisan, hand-crafted pizzas will initially debut at Alfredo’s aboard Sun Princess, with plans to extend to the rest of the fleet this summer. Princess chefs received specialized training under the guidance of Chef Gemignani from his acclaimed Tony’s Pizza Napoletana in San Francisco, ensuring they can masterfully replicate his original pizzas at sea.

To mark the new collaboration, Princess will attempt to set a Guinness World Records title on July 12th for the largest pizza party at multiple venues with fresh-from-the-oven pizza prepared by the line’s master chefs, including new selections from Chef Gemignani.

Chef Gemignani is the most decorated pizzaiolo in American history, an award-winning chef, restaurateur, master instructor, philanthropist, founder of Slice House by Tony Gemignani, and author of PIZZA, The Pizza Bible and The Pursuit of Pizza.

Born and raised in northern California, he opened his first restaurant in San Francisco in 2009, offering several styles of pizzas including Classic American, Italian, Sicilian, and Neapolitan pizzas made with artisan flours, an array of authentic sauces, and seasonal ingredients that are finished in seven different, regionally-specific ovens. The restaurant was met with immediate success and was named the best pizzeria by USA Today and the top pizza restaurant by the Travel Channel.

“Princess is about delivering great experiences and there is no more important element than Pizza. While Princess has long been known for having the best pizza at sea, we decided to take it up an entirely new level with legendary Tony Gemignani,” said John Padgett, Princess President. “Tony is the ‘GOAT’ with unparalleled world championships, expertise and passion for crafting the perfect pizza.”

The new Chef Gemignani-designed pizzas will take center stage at Alfredo’s and Gigi’s specialty pizzerias, sit-down venues that offer a menu of freshly-prepared, individual-sized pizzas, salads, wine, beer, and more. The pizzas will also be available at the complimentary Slice locations found on the lido deck of Princess ships.

“Princess is the original Love Boat and its magnificent ships are known to all the world,” said Gemignani. “Bringing my original recipe hand-crafted pizzas inspired by the destinations Princess visits to the world-class line up of culinary offerings onboard its ships is not only exciting but an honor.”

Pure Barre Cruise

Last month, Princess Cruises also hosted the first-ever “Pure Barre at Sea: A Tropical Retreat” voyage aboard Enchanted Princess. The seven-night cruise sailed roundtrip from Fort Lauderdale and visited Princess Cays, St. Thomas, and San Juan. It offered Pure Barre Align, Define, Classic and Empower classes on the ship throughout the sailing.

Themed activities included a welcome event, Barre on the Beach, Pure Barre on the Piazza, sunrise and sunset outdoor classes, mixology, and themed dining events. Pure Barre group activities both on and off the ship were also offered.

Princess Cruises has launched its ‘Better than Best Price Guarantee’ promotion running through most of this summer.

From July 1st to September 2nd, booked guests are assured that if they find a better price for the same Princess cruise, stateroom category, and sail date at any time before their final payment, Princess will honor the lower rate and provide 120 percent of the difference in the form of an onboard credit.

“Our new guarantee underscores the Princess commitment to offering unparalleled value and exceptional service to guests…value that is unmatched by land-based vacations,” said Terry Thornton, Princess Cruises chief commercial officer.

This way, guests can enjoy the best selection of Princess worldwide destinations and accommodations, knowing they have the best rate available for their cruise.”

Here’s how it works: if a guest who books a cruise between July 1 and September 2, 2024 for any 2025 or 2026 departure finds an active, publicly available lower price for the identical verified booking on Princess’ website prior to the final payment date, they can submit a Guarantee Claim Form. Princess will offer a 120 percent onboard credit of the difference between what the guest actually paid for the original booking and the located fare (or other mutually agreed makegood).

We have sailed on several of Princess Cruises megaships. So, of course, we had to be among the first to check out the newest ship in the fleet, Sun Princess. This new Sphere-class ship boasts several new restaurants and amenities for Princess Cruises. Perhaps our favorite is the immersive Spellbound. Before you splurge on this high-priced ticket, we cover all the details of Spellbound on Sun Princess to ensure it is worth it for you.

Everything You Need to Know About Spellbound on Sun Princess

What’s in Store for Guests at Spellbound on Sun Princess?

When we stepped past the ominous black door on deck 8, we were unsure what the Spellbound by Magic Castle experience would entail. But once inside, the intricate theming and attention to detail overwhelmed us. From the impressive bar and signature cocktails, to interactive art, to the up-close magic, this venue is one of the most immersive spaces at sea!

It is tough to explain everything that Spellbound includes without giving away too much. After all, we don’t want to spoil all the fun for you!

In brief, Spellbound by Magic Castle is a unique collaboration between Princess Cruises and the official Magic Castle in LA. On Sun Princess, Spellbound combines everything you love about cruising, including food, cocktails, and entertainment, across several spaces for an engaging evening of mystery.

The experience is crafted with an illusive backstory that connects guests to the original private club on land.

Once beyond the non-descript door, interactive magical experiences are around every corner. From the spirit of Isabella taking requests at the piano in the Music Room, to smoking cocktails at the Parlor Bar, we were not sure where to look first! The 19th century Victorian décor and vintage artifacts give the space an authentic yet eerie vibe.

Perhaps one of the best parts of this experiece is the ability to wander and discover on your own over the course of the evening. So, we suggest trying to see what hidden treasures you can uncover prior to being summonsed for your magic show.

Three Distinct Experiences

While everyone’s evening at Spellbound will be unique, there are three distinct experiences to enjoy.

First, there is the multi-course dinner that takes place in a reserved, themed section of the main dining room. This meal sets the tone with uniquely themed dishes that prepare cruisers for the spectacles they will witness later. From items like vanishing shrimp cocktail to bewitched bunny banana cream pie, the menu will take you on a culinary journey.

Unfortunately, this dinner portion was not up and running yet during our sailing; so, we can’t comment on the actual quality of the meal.

Following dinner, cruisers are escorted to the entrance of Spellbound. Here, a doorman provides everyone with some history before transporting guests into the Music Room. Once inside, guests interact with ghosts, sip signature cocktails, and enjoy sleight-of-hand magic at the Parlor Bar.

We had ample time to examine the artifacts and grab some drinks before being called into the main event.

All of the cocktails on the Spellbound bar menu are complimentary, regardless of whether you have a drink package or not. The cocktail menu boasts a dozen cocktails and even a shared martini experience for two. You can also request non-alcoholic versions of many of the drinks.

Thus, we made sure to sample several of the libations, such as the Escape from Houdini’s Chest, the Artemis, and Smoke and Mirrors, to name a few. While Sun Princess does boast a variety of bars throughout the ship, the cocktails at Spellbound were among our favorites.

We were summoned for our exclusive magic show about 45 minutes after entering. Tucked away behind the bar is a cozy theater just large enough to fit the 30 of us who were eager to see the next act. Here, all guests settle in for a more proper 30-minute magic show featuring the resident magician from Magic Castle. The show includes plenty of guest participation and several surprises.

Once the show is over, guests can return to the Music Room and/or Parlor Bar for a nightcap. Or, those wishing to leave are conveniently escorted out a discreet door into the heart of the casino.

How Much Does Spellbound Cost?

All of this magic and mystery does come with a hefty price tag. Currently, Spellbound is $149 per person. Though, this does include the dinner, magic show, and all drinks at the bar.

While it is expensive, we found this experience to be the best-themed activity we have ever experienced on a cruise. Spellbound rivals anything you might find in a Disney theme park.  

Many cruise lines are launching similar reserved experiences on their megaships. But compared to the offerings on Royal Caribbean or Norwegian Cruise Line, Spellbound on Sun Princess offers a dynamic and unique evening unlike anything else at sea.

When Does Spellbound Occur During the Cruise?

While the schedule might vary based on itinerary, Princess Cruises currently offers Spellbound on every night of the cruise. There are three set times, with dinner starting at either 5 PM, 6:30 PM, or 8 PM.

We suggest booking one of the earlier slots. That way you have more time to enjoy the cocktails and all of the interactive elements, as guests can spend additional time in the venue after the magic set.

However, the venue does close at midnight.

How Long Does the Show Last?

With dinner, drinks, and the 30-minute magic show, the entire experience is at least 2.5 to 3 hours. This offers enough time to sample some libations along with perusing the Music Room. But, those with earlier reservation times could easily spend well over 3 hours at the venue if they desired.

After our show, we did find ourselves back at the bar for one more round of drinks and to discuss with friends everything we had just witnessed.  

Given the price tag and all the intracacies to discover, we suggest guests savor every minute. We wouldn’t suggest skipping out early on any part of this full evening of entertainment.

How Many People Can Watch the Show?

Given the venue’s size and the event’s personal nature, spaces are limited.

Each showtime has a maximum capacity of 30 guests. Limiting the number of guests at each show ensures everyone can enjoy the comfortable surroundings without feeling rushed or cramped.

Thus, no more than 90 guests will be able to waltz through the black door into Spellbound each night.

Currently, Spellbound is open to guests 13+ years of age. However, the price is the same even for those not consuming alcoholic beverages.

Booking Spellbound for Your Cruise

Guests booked on Sun Princess can make reservations for Spellbound pre-cruise in the Princess Cruises app. Or, if space is still available, guests can reserve the dinner and show once onboard the ship.

Who Will Enjoy Spellbound on Sun Princess?

Both Heidi and I had a fantastic time during our mystifying Spellbound experience. While we were not able to sample the dinner, we did enjoy the atmosphere, signature cocktails, and all the magic.

Every nook offers something new to discover with unique artifacts and vintage curiosities, some of which even come to life before your eyes. With plenty of seating, friendly bar servers, and lots to explore, it’s certainly a fun evening of magic and mystery.

Guests who can let their guard down and succumb to illusions and trickery will have a fabulous time at Spellbound. It’s truly a unique mix of culinary, mixology, and magic that you won’t find anywhere else. Further, the featured magicians change frequently; thus, no two visits to Spellbound are ever exactly the same.

We would certainly return to Spellbound on Sun Princes to see what other secrets we can unlock and cocktails we can sample.
