They say variety is the spice of life, and nobody gives you more variety than Princess Cruises.® With a wide range of activities that will indulge every whim and mood, you’ll have a very hard time running out of things to do. And when you need a little break, just hop on over to the wellness side of things and let yourself be pampered to your heart’s content. It’s truly the best of both worlds – a unique combination of action and relaxation all aboard a world-class vessel to leave you feeling renewed and restored.
An Abundance of Activities
From enrichment activities, world festivals, destination-themed experiences, dance classes, culinary adventures, sporting pursuits and more, there is absolutely something for every kind of vacationer. Thanks to Discovery at SEA Enrichment Programs, you can stargaze on the top deck or go ashore to discover the local wildlife and natural landscapes via Animal PlanetTM and DiscoveryTM Recommended Tours. For more exciting experiences, the Festivals of the World celebrations are a must. Depending on where you sail, you can get all-access passes to Rio’s world-renowned Carnival, Oktoberfest, Midsommarfest, King Kamehameha Festival, Mexican Fiesta, Carnaval de Panama, Klondike Festival, and so much more.
Cultural Amusements
Learn about new cultures by experiencing them firsthand and, in some cases, participating yourself! A plethora of destination-themed activities also bring a deeper cultural perspective on your destination. In Alaska, meet lumberjacks who work the land. In Hawaii, take hula dancing or ukulele lessons. Enjoy traditional mariachi performances and Maori performances in Mexico and New Zealand, respectively. Authentic local dishes are served in the main dining rooms so you can broaden your palate and obtain a richer understanding of these cultures.
But Wait…There’s More
Aboard the ship, the fun simply never stops. From culinary demonstrations and wine tastings to world-class gaming, there’s never a dull moment aboard a Princess Cruise vessel. Don’t forget to take advantage of the art galleries on board, take in an art history lecture or two, and maybe even bid on some keepsakes during the Champagne art auctions.
Retail therapy on board is another recommendation, with the shopping experience awarded “Best Onboard Shopping” by Porthole Magazine. Treat yourself to a shopping spree and access high-end legacy brands like Chanel, Citizen, Swarovski, and Clinique.
After you’ve explored and indulged, dip your toes into the sparkling freshwater pools or hot tubs, enjoy sporting pursuits like golf, basketball, and ping pong, join a book club, or go dancing.
Unwind With Wellness
Someone wise once said, “a spa day is good for the soul,” and we’re certainly not ones to argue. We’re committed to your wellness, and although we offer activities galore, we still want you to return from your trip feeling refreshed and well-rested. It all begins with the Princess Luxury Bed named the Best Cruise Ship Bed by Cruise Critic. When we wish you a good night’s sleep at the end of an invigorating day, we really mean it.
The Lotus Spa & Fitness Center
The Lotus Spa was named Best Spa on a Cruise Ship by Spa finder Wellness 365. Enough said. Treatments such as the aroma stone therapy massage or detoxifying ocean wrap in addition to manicures and pedicures will make you feel pampered and pleased. The spa can be your little private oasis aboard the ship. It’s nice to know that you have the option to relax and renew after tackling your daily to-do list. On the other hand, you can make being pampered your full itinerary for the day. We’ll never judge.
If you choose to workout in the Fitness Center, you can treat yourself to a massage afterwards too. Sore muscles deserve a bit of TLC.
The Ultimate Escape
It gets even better if you’re looking for some time to yourself where you can really tune out the world. The Sanctuary is a luxurious spa-inspired top deck retreat exclusively for adults. It features plush lounge furniture, soothing music, refreshing beverages and delicious bites, and an open-air massage in your own private cabana.

It's not about where you go, but the memories made along the way.
