3 Romantic Experiences Every Couple Should Try Aboard Star Princess

Imagine waking up to the gentle sway of the sea, wrapped in plush linens, with the sound of the ocean lapping just outside your private balcony. Now imagine spending your evening sipping cocktails crafted with sleight of hand, just steps away from a secret door that opens into a world of wonder. Romance awaits aboard Star Princess, the newest jewel in the Princess Cruises fleet.  

Set to debut in October of 2025, this ship promises to dazzle long after the sun sets. As the second ship in the innovative Sphere-class, it’s thoughtfully designed for couples, honeymooners, and stargazers, with intimate spaces, bold entertainment, and sensory indulgences at every turn. Whether you're celebrating a milestone or simply celebrating each other, here are three romantic experiences you won't want to miss. 

Escape the ordinary and immerse yourselves in serenity with The Sanctuary Collection, a new tier of luxury designed for couples who crave pampered privacy. Whether you book a Sanctuary Suite, Mini-Suite, or Balcony cabin, each accommodation offers a tranquil escape with panoramic ocean views and a curated experience that begins the moment you wake up. 

Start your day with barista-crafted coffee delivered to your suite. Then sip on freshly squeezed juices and refreshing mocktails as you lounge in The Sanctuary Club, a spa-like setting reserved exclusively for guests of The Sanctuary Collection. Come lunchtime or dinner, indulge in an intimate gourmet meal at The Sanctuary Restaurant, where serene ambiance and refined cuisine come together for an experience made for two. 

As a suite guest, you’ll also enjoy access to the Signature Suite Lounge, a peaceful hideaway perfect for reading, toasting a glass of bubbly, or simply enjoying one another’s company in peace. It’s intimate, elevated, and entirely yours to share. 

Let the breeze set the mood. With the all-new Cabana Mini-Suites aboard Star Princess, indoor-outdoor living reaches new romantic heights. Each suite comes complete with a private cabana and spacious balcony, ideal for morning coffees with a view or twilight cocktails under the stars. 

Located on Deck 9, these mini-suites offer exclusive access to the Star Deck, an adults-only space designed for stargazing and scenic escapes. Whether you’re soaking in the sun by day or admiring moonlit horizons by night, the Cabana Mini-Suites are where romance meets open-air freedom. 

Plus, when you’re ready to sneak out of the serenity of your cabana and explore this beautiful ship, you can find intimate candlelit concerts tucked beneath the stunning glass-enclosed Dome. These private performances feature classical and cinematic melodies bathed in warm, ambient light, creating the perfect setting for a quiet, romantic evening. It’s a soothing alternative to the ship’s livelier nightlife, tailored for those who appreciate moments of calm and connection. 

Step into Spellbound, a one-of-a-kind experience created in partnership with the legendary Magic Castle™. This hidden, Victorian-inspired bar aboard Star Princess is part cocktail lounge, part theater. 

Inside, expert mixologists conjure libations with artistry and flair, while professional magicians dazzle with up-close illusions and enchanting performances. Every element is curated to whisk you and your partner away into an otherworldly evening of wonder and romance. 

Whether you’re toasting to love with a cocktail that appears out of thin air or catching a private show just for two, Spellbound is your invitation to an unforgettable date night at sea. 

Onboard Star Princess, romance isn’t just part of the itinerary. It’s the experience itself. From secluded suites to spellbinding evenings, every moment is an invitation to connect, unwind, and fall in love all over again.  

In its inaugural season, Star Princess will sail through the sun-soaked Mediterranean, the tropical charms of the Caribbean, and the legendary waters of the Panama Canal. Come spring 2026, the ship will chart a new course for Alaska, where majestic landscapes and wild beauty will set the stage for your next romantic escape.
