Sapphire Princess is a stunning Grand Class ship that has been delighting guests since her inaugural voyage in May 2004. As one of the largest ships in her class, she combines classic Princess elegance with a wealth of onboard experiences - from world-class dining and dazzling entertainment to the tranquillity of the award-winning Lotus Spa. Refurbished in 2023, Sapphire Princess feels as fresh as ever, with over 700 private balconies and a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes her feel like a home away from home.

At the heart of the ship lies the iconic Piazza - a circular, three-deck hub that serves as the social centre of every voyage. Whether you're catching live music, browsing boutiques, or simply enjoying a coffee, the Piazza brings the ship to life from morning to night.
