Princess Cruises has appointed Tillberg Design of Sweden (TDoS) as the coordinating architects for a new generation of Sphere-class ships, starting with Sun Princess due to debut in 2024.

Accommodating more than 4,000 guests, the 175,500-tonne vessel is the cruise line’s largest to-date and marks the third ship to carry the Sun Princess name. Whilst remaining true to the smooth clean lines and design aesthetics of its predecessor, designed by the late Robert Tillberg, the new 21-deck vessel features a lighter and brighter décor that maximises outdoor living.

Sun Princess embraces Italian heritage with the brand’s signature Piazza, which spans three floors and is equipped with a large LED screen that can be configured to deliver live entertainment programming.

The Dome meanwhile is a glass-enclosed venue with a multi-level deck inspired by the terraces of Santorini. By day, it features an indoor/outdoor swimming pool and water feature; by night it transforms into an entertainment space with state-of-the-art lighting and aerial performances.

With the launch of Sun Princess comes newly appointed suites and staterooms too, each featuring more outdoor balcony space. There is also a new category of suite, known as the Signature Collection, which offers access to a private restaurant, lounge and sundeck.

“Sun Princess is a new and bespoke ship platform, designed to simultaneously embrace Princess heritage while boldly pressing into the future with iconic, elegant and pure lines unique to our brand,” comments John Padgett, President of Princess Cruises. “A show-stopping, first-ofits-kind Dome on the top deck and suspended glass Piazza in the center of Sun Princess offer innovative designs showcasing expansive ocean views for incredible opportunities to connect with the sea.”
