The Princess Cruises fleet is growing.

The line announced today that it has ordered three new ships from Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri, which are slated for delivery in late 2035, 2038 and 2039. 

The 183,000-gross-ton vessels will be the largest by capacity in the Princess Cruises fleet, with space to accommodate approximately 4,700 travelers. They represent a brand new platform called the Voyager class, featuring completely reimagined outer decks, staterooms and Piazza designs. They’ll also be dual-fuel powered—primarily by liquefied natural gas.

“We have been leveraging extensive customer and agent research to strike the right balance between evolving our proven winners and introducing new concepts and partnerships grounded in what matters to our current and future guests,” says Gus Antorcha, president of Princess Cruises. “From exceptional dining and inviting pool environments to elevated entertainment and beautifully reimagined spaces throughout the ship, we are leaving no area untouched as we thoughtfully evolve the Princess experience.” 

Carnival Corporation & plc, Princess Cruises’ parent company, already has seven new ships under contract that are scheduled for delivery between 2027 and 2033.
