Princess Cruises currently has 3 classes of ships and will have 4 classes in February with the launch of Sun Princess“Sphere Class”.
I’m excited about the new ship, but love all the ships in the Princess inventory for different reasons.
Coral Class -
This class is the smallest Princess Ship.. These ships were designed to traverse the Panama Canal, with a slightly reduced width. There are three ships operating in this class, the Coral Princess, the Island Princess and the Caribbean Princess. I’ve traveled on these and they meet all the marks you’d expect on the Grand Class ships. What I particularly like about these ships is the cabins available Aft on deck 7, Promenade. There are several balcony and a couple suites at the aft end. Close to the water, conveniently located to evening activities. Check them out!
Grand Class -
Five ships in this class, they are slightly larger than Coral Class, passengers who regularly cruise on Princess rarely get confused about where they are. Both Coral and Grand Class ships generally follow the same layout. It may seem a little boring, but I find it’s great to not waste time trying to figure out where the buffet, or nightlife is. I’ve sailed on the Ruby Princess 7 times!
Royal Class -
6 Ships in the Princess fleet are Royal Class. Larger, but not a mega ship feeling. The Discovery Princess, the last in the Royal Class line, was launched in 2022 with the capacity for 3660 guests. These ships, although bigger, don’t typically feel crowded. The layout of these ships is similar to their Grand and Coral Class sisters, but there are significant differences in outdoor spaces, many upgrades, slightly different venues.
Cabin Privacy
A great thing on all 3 of the existing classes is the cabin layout. If you are traveling with friends, girls trips/guys trips or with older children, the cabin layout allows for some privacy for dressing.
With a closet section off adjacent to the bathroom, it’s easy to have a little bit of privacy in a confined space. It appears Sun and Star Princess will have a change in layout, but more on that after launch in February!
