1- The Ship
Stretching approximately 965 feet from bow to stern and measuring about 106 feet across, the Island Princess has a gross tonnage of just under 92,000. She accommodates around 2,200 guests and 900 crew members. Compact by today’s mega-ship standards, her design prioritizes destination-rich routes and navigational versatility, especially for narrow canals and ports where larger vessels can’t sail.
2- Activities and Entertainment for Adults
Guests seeking adult-focused relaxation and entertainment have plenty of choices. The onboard spa includes a thermal suite and treatment rooms offering everything from facials to aromatherapy massages. For evening fun, there’s live music in the lounges, a full-scale casino, and classic productions in the Princess Theater. Quiet escapes like the adults-only Sanctuary and the library offer downtime for those seeking tranquility.
3- Activities and Entertainment for Children
Families cruising with kids will appreciate the dedicated youth programs offered on board. Island Princess has tailored spaces for various age brackets, including games, crafts, and science-themed events through Camp Discovery. Teenagers can enjoy their own hangout space with music, movies, and social events. Outdoor splash zones and kid-friendly dining ensure little cruisers are just as engaged as the adults.
4- Restaurants, Bars, and Lounges
Food lovers are well catered to aboard Island Princess. The ship features traditional dining rooms along with specialty venues like the Bayou Café and Steakhouse, inspired by Southern U.S. flavors. For casual bites, the Horizon Court buffet and poolside grill provide quick, fresh meals. A wide selection of bars and cafés — including Crooners Lounge and Vines Wine Bar — make it easy to unwind at any time of day.
5- The Cabins Aboard the Island Princess
Island Princess offers just over 1,000 cabins, including a high proportion of oceanview and balcony staterooms. Each cabin comes equipped with thoughtful amenities like flat-screen televisions, a work desk, and ample storage space. Guests booking suites enjoy extra perks such as priority embarkation and enhanced in-room service, as well as generous space for lounging or entertaining.
6- Responsible Tourism
Island Princess is designed with energy efficiency in mind and includes systems for minimizing fuel usage and emissions. When docked, the ship can connect to local electrical grids to reduce onboard engine use — a feature that helps lower her carbon footprint. In addition to technical innovations, Princess Cruises also collaborates with coastal communities through education and sustainability projects.
