Princess Is Taking Its Most Exclusive Zone to Older Ships

Princess Cruises is expanding its adults-oriented Sanctuary Collection beyond newer ships to five Royal-class vessels. Royal Princess goes first, on sale now, with a 12-day South Pacific voyage departing January 4, 2027. Regal Princess follows, on sale November 5, with a transatlantic from Port Everglades departing April 17.

Discovery Princess goes on sale December 4 for a Los Angeles roundtrip to Mexico beginning April 24. Sky Princess goes on sale December 10, with a Baltic sailing from Southampton on May 29. Enchanted Princess follows on December 17, with a Mediterranean voyage from Civitavecchia on June 12.

The collection centers on a private Sanctuary Club lounge, a dedicated pool with upgraded loungers and poolside service, and the Sanctuary Restaurant with destination-inspired menus. It covers select suites and staterooms, including newly added oceanview staterooms, and includes a suite concierge. Shaded cabanas cost extra. Princess Premier is included for guests who book the collection after it goes on sale for each ship.

No price was published. Royal Princess guests who booked a Reserve Collection stateroom before October 22 will also get the Sanctuary experience. Because the rollout is staggered, travelers interested should watch each ship’s on-sale date and compare the collection against standard balcony pricing.
