More Details about Princess Cruises' Royal ... - Leisure Group Travel

Princess Cruises? latest ship currently under construction, the Royal Princess, is best described as a new generation ship. Coming in at 141,000 gross registered tons and accommodating 3,600 guests, she?ll be about 20% larger than any of Princess Cruises? previous ships. Set to debut summer of 2013, the Royal Princess will continue to keep some of the key features Princess Cruises? is known for, but will offer some new ?cutting edge? ones as well.

The Industry?s First Ever ?SeaWalk?

Yes, the Royal Princess includes the first ever ?SeaWalk.?? This enclosed, cantilevered walkway, located top deck, actually extends more than 28 feet from the side of the ship over the ocean.?? Guests can see dramatic sea views as they look down, because the walkway?s floor is glass. The SeaWalk is 60 feet long and hovers at 128 feet above the ocean. ?In addition, there?s also a 20 seat SeaWalk Bar for guests to enjoy cocktails, once again enjoying these incredible views.

The top-deck pool features the cruise line?s largest ?Movies Under the Stars? to date, with a screen that?s 30 percent larger. It provides true widescreen viewing along with high-tech audio and video systems. While relaxing in comfortable chaise lounge chairs that come complete with blanket, pillow and free popcorn, guests can enjoy concerts, movies and of course movies.

Royal Princess offers? a new evening water and light show on the top deck, transformed with architectural lighting effects to set the mood. ?With a computerized fountain featuring 85 water jets that shoot streams of water 33 feet into the evening skies, guests can enjoy this new unique experience.

For guests who want a bit more exclusivity, the Royal Princess is going to have another new area. An adults-only upper deck pool ?includes seven private, plush cabanas, available to rent for a fee.

Some Other Updates

Onboard the Royal Princess, all of the oceanview staterooms will have balconies. Staterooms will include larger showers as well as bigger televisions, and pillow-top mattresses. The atrium will also be expanded, with new casual dining and entertainment options.? Adjacent to the SeaWalk are the ship?s expansive top area, complete with two freshwater pools, palm trees, and a variety of lounging areas. And the special Chef?s Table Lumiere, which provides a private dining experience, surrounds diners in a curtain of light.

Where the Royal Princess Will Sail

The Royal Princess? maiden season will begin in June 2013 on a Grand Mediterranean itinerary throughout the summer months between Barcelona, Spain and Venice. She?ll then start Eastern Caribbean sailings in the fall.

If you?ve enjoyed Princess Cruises in the past, the debut of the Royal Princess might be something to consider for your next group. New generation ships are always fun to experience, aren?t they? As far as the new SeaWalk? It will provide endless possibilities not just for photographers like myself, but incredible, amazing views!
