Fort Lauderdale, Florida – 21 October 2026: Princess Cruises will expand its Sanctuary Collection to five additional Royal Class ships, beginning with Royal Princess and followed by Regal Princess, Discovery Princess, Sky Princess and Enchanted Princess.
First introduced on Sun Princess and Star Princess, Sanctuary Collection combines selected suites and staterooms with access to private onboard spaces, exclusive dining, personalised service and a range of included amenities.
The rollout forms the first phase of a multi-year fleet modernisation programme focused on the guest experience.
Princess Cruises president Gus Antorcha said the Sanctuary Collection had quickly become “one of the most distinctive and desirable ways to experience Princess,” with the expansion intended to make its private spaces, service and amenities available to more guests.
Sanctuary Club and exclusive dining added
Sanctuary Collection guests will have access to a private Sanctuary Club with areas for relaxation and socialising, alongside personalised service. A dedicated pool area within the club will feature upgraded loungers, while shaded cabanas will be available for an additional charge. Food and beverage service will also be offered poolside.
Guests will also receive access to the Sanctuary Restaurant, with menus influenced by destinations visited by Princess ships. The collection will include selected suites and staterooms, including newly constructed oceanview accommodation on the ships being added to the programme.
Guests staying in Sanctuary Suites will receive support from a dedicated suite concierge who can assist with dining, entertainment and other onboard arrangements.
Princess Premier included with new bookings
Guests making new Sanctuary Collection bookings after the product opens for sale on each individual ship will receive Princess Premier. The package includes premium unlimited beverages, speciality and casual dining, high-speed Wi-Fi, crew appreciation, complimentary room service and OceanNow delivery, among other benefits. Sanctuary Collection guests will also receive priority access and reservations, curated in-room amenities, tailored daily programming and dedicated service during the voyage.
Guests staying in suite accommodation will additionally have access to a private Suite Lounge offering refreshments, relaxation space and concierge assistance.
The Sanctuary Collection amenities will operate alongside access to the wider dining, entertainment, activities and destination experiences available elsewhere on each ship.
Royal Princess begins rollout in January
Sanctuary Collection staterooms on Royal Princess went on sale on 22 October 2026, beginning with the ship’s 12-day South Pacific voyage departing 4 January 2027. Guests who booked Royal Princess before 22 October 2026 and had already reserved a Reserve Collection stateroom will receive the Sanctuary Collection experience and its additional amenities at no extra cost, excluding Princess Premier.
Regal Princess Sanctuary Collection staterooms will go on sale on 5 November 2026, beginning with the ship’s Transatlantic voyage from Port Everglades departing 17 April 2027.
