DINING
Casual eateries, speciality restaurants and formal dining are all covered with Princess Cruises, but the story goes much further than that. Eating like a local and enjoying exceptional food made from scratch is at the heart of the food and drink offering, with expert chefs bringing authentic recipes from home and handmade delicacies including freshly rolled pasta, exquisite patisserie desserts and craft cocktails made by master mixologists.
ENTERTAINMENT
If you’re new to cruising and the idea of filling your time feels like a challenge, Princess Cruises will blow you away with its astounding variety of entertainment options onboard. Unique theatre productions created by West-End and Broadway professionals, world-class illusionists and leading comedians are just a handful of options to while away an evening, as well as live music, demonstrations and more low-key movie nights.
THINGS TO DO
For those days at sea where the whole day is ahead of you, there are so many activities and things to do on board a Princess cruise that you might just find yourself wishing for more time. Prepare to immerse yourself in the cultures of upcoming destinations with themed activities and cuisine, or take the opportunity to learn something new with dance classes, yoga and workout sessions all taking place. Of course, the on-board relaxation and spa facilities may be all too tempting to lose yourself for a morning or afternoon.

Whether your family prefers to take on activities as a unit or spend some time independently, you’ll find Princess Cruises offers a perfect balance to keep everyone comfortable and entertained. A wide variety of immersive entertainment and competitions, onboard activities and shore excursions have been designed with families in mind, whilst customisable dining plans and roomy family accommodation ensure everyone is happy. Childcare and babysitting services are available, as well as different kids and teens’ clubs that target activities and socialising to closer age groups – allowing your kids that all important sense of freedom and independence, with the reassurance of knowing they’re safe and happy on board!
