Welcome aboard Royal Princess. This is the first of the Royal Class of cruise ships, built for Princess Cruises by Fincantieri. The ship is 330m long, has a gross tonnage of 147,314 and can transport up to 3,600 passengers. The ship is a large-scale resort at sea, with multiple dining venues, on deck sports facilities, a multi storey atrium, show lounges and even a daring walkway with a glass floor!
I sailed aboard Royal Princess in November 2023 as a guest of Princess Cruises. While Princess Cruises provided the accommodation and the cruise, I was not paid to make this video. So come aboard Royal Princess with me to discover what its like aboard the first of the Royal Class cruise ships.
