The Sphere class from Princess Cruises is 20% larger than any other class of ships in their fleet.
Star Princess debuts August 4, 2025, sailing a nine-day Inaugural Italy & Greece roundtrip voyage from Rome (Civitavecchia), featuring the destinations of Corfu, Kotor, Mykonos, Santorini and Naples (for Capri and Pompeii).
The ship will then sail a variety of 9- and 10-day cruises sailing from Rome, Athens or Trieste (Venice) that visit ports around Europe.
Cruises on Star Princes will go on sale with the larger Europe 2025 program release on June 1, 2023.
This will be the third cruise ship in Princess’ history that will have the name Star Princess.
