Crown Princess at a glance
Crown Princess is a ship from Princess Cruises, launched in 2006, carrying 3,080 guests. It is known for classic Princess cruising on a Grand-class ship, with a few sailings in Australian waters. It has no sailings from Australia on sale right now; ask us for its next season.
Crown Princess is built to the Grand-class design, with the classic Princess layout: a central Piazza with street performers, a choice of dining rooms and the adults-only Sanctuary.
