Princess Cruises Overview
Come feel the love on a Princess cruise. Get the MedallionClass experience others simply can't, and it's exclusively for everyone. Not to mention sharing all the favorite destinations and bringing you the best experiences around each and every one of them. With multicourse meals to remember, Broadway-style shows, comedy acts and bands, and comfortable staterooms featuring the Princess Luxury Bed - all included in one of the best vacation values around. Because The Love Boat promises something for everyone.
With the MedallionClass experience, Princess has made the service guests love even better. It goes beyond knowing your name. It's surprising you on your birthday. Knowing you take cinnamon in your latte and bringing you that latte anywhere. It's addressing any concerns right now, not later, maybe even before you ask. Anyone can say their crew is like family. So Princess doesn't just say it; the guests do.
Every Princess ship is a destination in itself with wide-ranging amenities, elevated culinary experiences and delightful activities. The physical design and decor of the ships, coupled with Princess' hallmark service excellence, creates an onboard atmosphere of relaxed luxury in which passengers can enjoy their perfect vacation experience.
Princess brings the world closer with voyages to over 330 cruise destinations across more than 100 countries, on all 7 continents.

Princess Cruises Dining
It begins in a little village. Or a big city. Or a tropical island. Princess chefs travel from their homes to Princess ships, bringing family recipes and enthusiasm along with them. They create dishes served by crew members who love to tell stories of their own, about where they're from and where they've been, and hear your stories too. Because food brings people together, especially here.
Dine When, How and Where you Like: With Dine My Way, you now have full control and flexibility when it comes to eating on board. Fit in a formal dinner before a show. Explore the possibilities of casual eateries whenever works for you. Use OceanNow to order a burger and beer that finds you while watching Movies Under the Stars. Make reservations so you can make the most of mealtime with more options to enjoy and less waiting.
Food, Drinks (and More) Delivered Wherever You Are: Prefer to dine on your balcony or while catching a sunset on the top deck? It's easy with OceanNow. Order your favorite food and drinks on your smart device, stateroom TV or directly through a crew member, and Princess will bring them right to you - with free delivery! Sit back, relax and enjoy not having to stand in line or deal with crowds.
Made from Scratch: It's bread baked fresh 24-7. Pastries made with only the best ingredients (because you can taste the difference). Steaks aged and cut on board. Homemade pasta rolled and shaped every day. Princess carefully crafts every dish as though they were having you for a meal in their home because, come to think of it, they are!
Dine Like a Local: There's no better way to experience a place than through its food. So you'll find regional flavors all around you on board, favorite recipes chefs brought from home or discovered along the way. Think curries from India and homemade pasta from Italy. Seafood in Alaska and street tacos in Mexico. They don't just say "authentic" they serve it.
Explore Beverages, Wine & More on Board: Craft cocktails, the finest wines from around the world, premium coffee and more await you on your voyage. Discover what expert Mixologist Rob Floyd and the Food and Beverage team have created with Princess just for you, including award-winning wine list.
