Royal Princess (2013), Regal Princess (2014), Majestic Princess (2017), Sky Princess (2019), Enchanted Princess (2020) and Discovery Princess (2022) form the modern core of the Princess fleet, all built at Fincantieri on a shared 143,000-plus GT platform.
Common features run to the multi-storey Piazza atrium, the SeaWalk glass-floored walkway cantilevered 8.5 metres over the sea on the earlier hulls, the Sanctuary adults-only retreat, and a full MedallionClass fit-out across the class.
The later ships in the series — Sky, Enchanted and Discovery — refine rather than reinvent: larger Sanctuary decks, better speciality dining, and improved balcony cabin layouts. Majestic Princess was purpose-configured for the Chinese market and retains a strong Asian dining line-up.
