Princess
Cruises is raising a toast with the announcement that 16 ships in its fleet
have earned the prestigious Wine Spectator Award of Excellence in the
publication’s 2025 Restaurant Rewards.
Presented annually by Wine Spectator magazine, the Awards of
Excellence spotlight restaurants – including those on cruise lines – offering
thoughtfully curated wine selections paired with quality cuisine.
This year’s
winners include just over 2,000 establishments worldwide, with Princess Cruises
standing out as the only cruise
line to receive 16 awards across its fleet.
Now a two-time winner of the award, 15 of Princess main
dining rooms were recognized, along with the Sanctuary Collection on Sun Princess.
“At Princess, we believe a well-curated wine list isn’t just
about variety – it’s about enhancing flavor and creating harmony at the table,”
said Sami Kohen, Vice President of Food and Beverage for Princess Cruises.
“This recognition from Wine Spectator reinforces our dedication to offering a
wine experience that is rich, diverse, and reflective of the destinations we
explore.”
Princess Cruises' wine program features more than 250 labels
from top world wine regions, including France, Italy, Argentina, and New
Zealand, along with emerging producers that harvest biodynamic, organic, vegan
and sustainable wines, and a dedicated section celebrating women winemakers.
Wine lists are designed to appeal to a range of palates—from
casual sippers to serious connoisseurs—and include detailed descriptions to
help guests easily navigate options by flavor profile and style.
Princess’ Love Lines Premium Liquors Collection also offers
guests exclusive, expertly curated wines and spirits crafted by globally
recognized personalities. Celebrity wines include Taraji P. Henson’s beloved
Moscato, Seven Daughters, Melorosa Sauvignon Blanc and Red Blend by Jason
