The Ships that Built Princess: The Story of the Sun Princess Class

For more than 20 years, the Sun Princess and Sea Princess were beloved by cruisers, but these two fan favourites left the Princess Cruises fleet in 2020. Join maritime historian Chris Frame as he looks back at how the Sun Princess class of cruise ships helped build Princess Cruises into the global brand it is today. We explore how their design and onboard experience defined a new era of cruising for the brand, and how their legacy continues to influence Princess Cruises' ships today.
