Princess Cruises is launching three new cruise ships that will be the largest in its fleet

Princess Cruises is developing a new class of cruise ships that will be the largest in its fleet.

The line has ordered three ships to be built at the Fincantieri shipyard in Monfalcone, Italy. The new class will be known as “Voyager”.

They are scheduled to be delivered in late 2035, 2038 and 2039 respectively and will take the total fleet size to 20.

Few features have been revealed so far but Princess Cruises said the new vessels will combine the cruise line’s “most desired and highest-rated experiences” as well as “completely reimagined outer decks, staterooms and Piazza designs that cater to the brand’s global travellers and diverse deployments.”

The three ships will be 183,000 gross tonnes and will accommodate approximately 4,700 guests – the largest in the fleet.

In comparison, Sun and Star Princess, which were launched in 2024 and 2025 respectively, are 175,500 gross tonnes and have capacity for 4,310 guests.

Similar to Sun and Star, the new ships will be dual-fuel powered, primarily by liquefied natural gas.

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

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

Pierroberto Folgiero, chief executive of Fincantieri, said: “We are delighted to announce this new agreement with Princess Cruises, which confirms the strength of a long-standing partnership. These new orders secure a robust workload for our shipyards through 2039 and further support the profitable development of our cruise business.”
