​PROFILE
Sky Princess cruise ship

SUMMARY

Sky Princess is a large mass market cruise ship. The cruise experience is more sophisticated than some other lines but still relaxed and casual. Her interior decor is contemporary but tasteful.

This ship was the fourth ship to be built in Princess's Royal class, which also includes Royal Princess ,  Regal Princess, Majestic Princess, Enchanted  Princess, and Discovery Princess. All of the Princess versions of this design are quite similar in décor and features.  (P&O Cruises' Britannia is also a sister but has a substantially different interior).

​The Princess philosophy has long been that passengers expect to find certain features on a Princess ship. This philosophy is reflected in Sky Princess. For example, the public areas are built around a central Piazza, which is much more pacious than on the Grand-class ships. In addition to being a gathering place, this area is used for activities and receptions. Dining venues and shops surround it.

There are also several specialty restaurants including such Princess traditions as the Crown Grill (steakhouse) and Sabatini's (fine Italian dining) as well as more recent traditions such as Alfredo's Pizzeria, the Crab Shack, the Ocean Terrace (seafood bar). However, you do not have to pay an extra fee to have a good meal. The main dining rooms have a good reputation and there are a variety of complimentary eateries.

Entertainment venues include a large theater, a casino, and several lounges. Thus, evening events often include a prouction show or headliner act, live music, game shows or other activities.

Outside, Sky Princess has four pools plus a number of hot tubs. There is also the luxurious adults-only Sanctuary, which is extra-tariff. Inside, there is a substantial spa.

Sky Princess is family-friendly with facilities for young cruisers.

Unlike most recent cruise ships, Sky Princess has a traditional main propulsion system. Four diesel engines provide electricity to two motors, each of which turns a propellor shaft. This enables Sky Princess to have a service speed of 21 knots and a maximum speed of 23 knots. The engines also provide the electricity for the other nautical equipment such as the bow thrusters as well as for the ship's hotel.  ​
