There are already active social media groups for Star Princess cruisers from her Mediterranean, Caribbean, and Alaska seasons, with Port Canaveral-specific groups likely to grow closer to her 2027 homeport debut. Here are some links to some of the most popular Facebook groups:
Ship Class: Star Princess is the second Sphere-class ship in the Princess Cruises fleet, sister to Sun Princess. Built by Fincantieri in Monfalcone, Italy, and powered by liquefied natural gas, she represents Princess’ entry into the mega-ship category.
Maiden Voyage: Star Princess set sail on October 4, 2025. She was officially named in Fort Lauderdale that November before beginning a Caribbean season, then transiting the Panama Canal for her debut Alaska season. Her Port Canaveral homeport season begins October 2027.
Capacity: Star Princess carries approximately 4,300 guests at double occupancy (up to roughly 5,400 at max capacity) across 2,157 staterooms, with around 1,600 crew, making her one of the largest ships ever to sail from Port Canaveral.
Features and Amenities: Star Princess is built around The Dome, a glass-enclosed, geodesic structure at the top of the ship inspired by the terraces of Santorini, home to an adults-only indoor-outdoor pool and the Candlelight Concert Series. Other highlights include the multi-story Piazza atrium, the flexible Princess Arena theater, Spellbound (a magic and mixology venue), an expanded casino, and the two-story Lotus Spa.
Itineraries: From Port Canaveral, Star Princess will sail the Caribbean as part of Princess’ largest seasonal program yet, with itineraries ranging from 4 to 15 days and stops including Celebration Key, the line’s new private Bahamian destination.
Entertainment: Onboard entertainment includes Cirque Eloize performances, evening Piazza celebrations and deck parties, a reimagined champagne waterfall, and themed nighttime events, alongside the Candlelight Concert Series inside The Dome.
Dining: Star Princess offers 30 distinct dining and bar venues, the most of any Princess ship. Highlights include the expanded Love by Britto specialty dining space, O’Malley’s Irish Pub, and a mix of complimentary and specialty restaurants spanning the ship’s Piazza and upper decks.
