The ship was officially delivered during a celebratory handover ceremony at the Fincantieri Shipyard in Monfalcone, Italy.
Star Princess is the 17th ship in the cruise line’s line up of vessels sailing worldwide.
With her 1,600 crew now onboard preparing to welcome the first guests, Star Princess will depart the shipyard and sail to Barcelona ahead of her inaugural voyage, an 11-day Western Mediterranean cruise departing October 4.
The 4,300-guest ship – sister to the award-winning Sun Princess – will feature 30 distinct dining and bar venues, curated entertainment and activity offerings.
Unique to Star Princess and Sun Princess is The Sanctuary Collection, an elevated private escape at sea with access to an exclusive restaurant, the Sanctuary Club, a tranquil, adults-only pool deck, and thoughtfully curated amenities.
With more than 1,500 balcony staterooms, guests will enjoy panoramic views from the privacy of their own rooms.
Standout venues include The Dome, a next-generation relaxation and entertainment space, The Arena, Princess’ most technologically advanced theatre, The Piazza, the architectural centrepiece of the ship and Spellbound by Magic Castle.
“This remarkable vessel is a testament to the innovation and craftsmanship of our long-standing partners at Fincantieri and we extend our heartfelt thanks to the shipbuilding team for bringing our newest ship to life,” said Gus Antorcha, Princess Cruises President.
