Grand Princess offers a relaxed, elegant cruising experience that’s perfectly suited to longer voyages and scenic regions like the South Pacific. Smaller and more traditional than newer mega-ships, she provides a calm, welcoming atmosphere where the focus is on comfort, service and enjoying the journey as much as the destinations.
Refurbished in 2019, Grand Princess blends classic Princess style with modern updates, making her an ideal choice for travellers who prefer a more refined, laid-back cruise rather than a busy, high-energy ship.
