The Sapphire Princess experience
Sapphire Princess is already renowned for her on-board facilities and attractive interiors, having been built in Japan, at Mitsubishi’s shipyard, before setting sail on her maiden voyage in 2004. She underwent a refurbishment in 2012 to upgrade public areas and performance spaces and is now a dazzling cruise ship which intends to relax and excite guests on-board.
She is the fifth of nine ships in Princess Cruises’ wide-ranging Grand class, featuring the glitzy Piazza with a wine and tapas bar, a bakery and a pizzeria. After her refurbishment, Sapphire Princess gained signature features such as Movies Under the Stars – an exclusive, open-air poolside amphitheatre – and the adult-only deck spaces at the Sanctuary.
