Princess Cruises has announced plans to build three new Voyager class ships to further enhance the cruise holiday experience for its guests.

The new vessels will have reimagined outer decks, staterooms and Piazza designs that cater to the brand’s global travellers and diverse deployments.

These new ships will build upon the award-winning Sphere Class platform and continue to leverage the latest guest-facing and marine technologies.

With room for 4,700 guests, they will be the largest by capacity in the Princess fleet and will be built at Fincantieri’s shipyard in Italy.

“The Voyager class will delight both our loyal guests and attract the next generation of Princess guests,” said Gus Antorcha, Princess Cruises President.

“We have been leveraging extensive customer and agent research to strike the right balance between evolving our proven winners and introducing new concepts and partnerships grounded in what matters to our current and future guests.

“From exceptional dining and inviting pool environments to elevated entertainment and beautifully reimagined spaces throughout the ship, we are leaving no area untouched as we thoughtfully evolve the Princess experience.”

The Voyager class ships will be dual fuel powered – primarily by Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), the best readily available advanced fuel technology, significantly reducing air emissions compared with other widely available conventional marine fuels.

The new builds are slated to be delivered in late 2035, 2038 and 2039, respectively.

In addition to these three ships, Carnival Corporation has seven additional new ships under contract that are scheduled for delivery between 2027 and 2033.
