Princess now has Personal Choice dining across all their tonnage, which gives them excellent restaurant options to go with the wide range of ultra-smart facilities on their large, modern fleet. The Sun trio offer a slightly more small-scale but still chic Resort experience, with the bonus of the alternative Sterling Steakhouse. The Grand- class vessels introduced a new level of big-ship sophistication on their debut in 1999, and the latest group of six 100,000-ton-plus leviathans add still further to that excellent range of facilities, style and service, with features like Movies Under The Stars, greater alternative dining, the Sanctuary area (adults only for quiet, on- deck relaxation), and even ‘street entertainment’. The new (in summer 2013) Royal Princess should add even more sophistication and choice, with an array of new design features and dining options. Princess work especially hard at their onboard delivery, with a terrific range of small-scale creature comforts and services that mark them out from the mainstream. The two smaller ships are ex-Renaissance Cruises vessels and feature a more intimate, country-house touch, with a choice of 4 restaurants and more lifestyle-orientated programmes. In the Caribbean year-round, they offer extensive summer itineraries around Europe and seasonal programmes to South America, Alaska, the Mexican Riviera, Hawaii & Tahiti, Asia, Canada & New England, Australia and New Zealand, plus two contrasting World Cruises. Gratuities not included.

With just 88 guest suites as well as 110 privately-owned apartments, this ship has set a new benchmark in 6-star cruising. She has a choice of restaurants together with all the amenities of a luxury retreat. These include outstanding golf facilities (including a floating target range which is towed behind the ship), a full-sized tennis court (a first on any ship) and a hydraulic water sports platform. This is no ordinary ship and is not run like one. Quite unique, it allows you to enjoy life in a private resort whilst visiting the world. Following the sun with the seasons, itineraries allow passengers time to enjoy both the ship’s facilities and longer stays in each port. Sold cruise only. In 2013, she voyages from South America to the Caribbean and then transatlantic for a long series around the Med and northern Europe before seeing in the New Year in Madeira. Fares include port tax, drinks and gratuities.

Navigator heralded a new style of 6-star cruising in 1999, introducing all-suite accommodation, nearly all with balconies. Fine dining with well-selected gastronomic menus, open seating in the main dining room and bookings required for the three alternative restaurants. Mariner and Voyager added even more choice to the range of gracious, ultra-chic facilities and styling, with impeccable service. The retro-fitting of the Canyon Ranch SpaClub in all ships added further refinement in 2009 and a major fleet refurb in 2010 ensures their look and style remain fresh and contemporary. They cover a wide range of itineraries, from northern Europe and the Med to the Caribbean, Mexico, Panama, Alaska, Asia and Australia, Indian Ocean and South America, with longer World Crossings up to 27 nights. Prices include in-suite bars, wines with meals, tax and gratuities. They continue to offer great deals to the UK market, with free flights and shore excursions on all cruises.
