Second LNG-powered cruise ship built for Princess Cruises

11 December 2023

The keel laying of the Star Princess took place in Monfalcone today. She is the second Sphere Class vessel for Princess Cruises, a brand within Carnival Corporation; the first is Sun Princess.

 

Both cruise ships are dual-fuel, primarily powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG), the cleanest marine fuel currently available on a large scale on the market.

 

Star Princess will accommodate 4,300 guests and, like Sun Princess, is based on a next-generation platform design. Sun Princess will be delivered in 1Q 2024 while Star Princess in 2025.

 

Princess Cruises, a world leading international cruise line and tour company, operates a current fleet of 15 modern cruise ships, carrying millions of guests each year to 330 destinations around the globe.
