Entering into service earlier this year, and set to undertake Australian sailings throughout the 2018-19 cruise season, the Majestic Princess is the most ambitious Princess Cruises vessel to date. The third member of the fleet-leading Royal Class from Princess Cruises, the Majestic Princess has been adapted to appeal to a wider demographic than any of her other shipmates.
Spending her maiden season home-ported in Shanghai, Majestic Princess will soon arrive on Australian shores. From September 2018, she’ll be calling Sydney ‘home’, with an array of awe-inspiring features designed to impress and delight Australian cruise fans. She’ll be completing a selection of amazing cruise itineraries, touring the coastlines of Australia, Tasmania and New Zealand.
Here, we have a look at a few of Majestic Princess’ most eye-catching features and most exciting amenities.

All the major cruise lines are going bigger and better with their cruise ship designs and Princess Cruises are no different, with Majestic Princess measuring up as the largest member of the fleet. With a capacity for 3,560 guests, Majestic Princess joins the exclusive list of megaships currently sailing the seas.
With over 50 years’ experience navigating the world’s oceans, however, the Princess Cruises team have designed Majestic Princess so not to compromise space and comfort for anyone of the 3,500 guests on board. Clever design tricks ensure that public areas are spacious and all suites and staterooms are delightfully comfortable. The line’s ‘Come Back New’ motto is never more apparent than on the newest member of their fleet.
