PRINCESS CRUISES EXPANDS SANCTUARY COLLECTION

Sought-After Premium Experience Brings Exclusive Spaces, Elevated Dining, Personalized Service and All-Inclusive Amenities to More Princess Guests

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (October 21, 2026) – Princess Cruises today announces plans to expand its sought-after exclusive resort-style experience at sea, Sanctuary Collection, across five of its Royal Class ships, bringing the brand’s most elevated and personalized vacation experience to more guests around the world.

First introduced aboard Sun Princess and Star Princess, the Sanctuary Collection encompasses select suites and staterooms and includes access to private onboard spaces, exclusive dining, personalized service, and a collection of premium amenities included throughout the voyage.

Beginning with Royal Princess and expanding across Discovery Princess, Enchanted Princess, Regal Princess, and Sky Princess, the expansion represents the first phase of a multi-year fleet modernization initiative focused on enhancing the Princess guest experience.

“The Sanctuary Collection has quickly become one of the most distinctive and desirable ways to experience Princess,” said Gus Antorcha, Princess Cruises president. “Expanding Sanctuary Collection across five additional Royal Class ships allows more guests to enjoy the privacy, personalized service and premium amenities they would expect from an intimate luxury resort, while still having the destinations, entertainment and choices of a Princess cruise just steps away.”

The expanded resort-style experience at sea, Sanctuary Collection, will include:

Exclusive Sanctuary Club

Sanctuary Collection guests will enjoy access to a private Sanctuary Club featuring dedicated spaces for relaxation and connection. Tranquil lounge areas, comfortable social spaces and personalized service will provide an inviting retreat from the energy of the broader ship.

A dedicated Sanctuary pool experience at the Sanctuary Club will offer additional privacy and serenity, with upgraded loungers, shaded cabanas available for an additional cost, and curated food and beverage service delivered poolside.

Destination-Inspired Sanctuary Dining

Sanctuary guests will enjoy exclusive access to the Sanctuary Restaurant, an intimate dining space with menus inspired by the destinations Princess visits.

Sanctuary Collection Accommodations and Amenities

The Sanctuary Collection will encompass select suites and staterooms, including newly constructed oceanview staterooms – pairing well-appointed accommodations with an enhanced collection of in-room and onboard benefits.

Guests staying in Sanctuary Suites will receive personalized assistance from a dedicated suite concierge who can help coordinate dining, entertainment and other onboard arrangements.

All guests who book the Sanctuary Collection, after open for sale on individual ships, will receive Princess Premier, the brand’s most inclusive package, featuring premium unlimited beverages, specialty and casual dining, high-speed Wi-Fi, crew appreciation, complimentary room service and OceanNow delivery, among other benefits.

Sanctuary Collection guests will also enjoy:

  • Priority access and reservations
  • Curated in-room amenities
  • Tailored daily programming
  • Dedicated service throughout the voyage

Private Suite Lounge

Sanctuary Collection guests staying in suite accommodations will have access to an exclusive Suite Lounge, offering a private setting for relaxation, refreshments and personalized concierge assistance.

Together, these dedicated spaces and amenities provide Sanctuary Collection guests with a private onboard retreat while preserving full access to the extensive dining, entertainment, activities and destination experiences available throughout each Princess ship.
