Star Princess Sets the Stage for a Dazzling New Era of Cruise Entertainment
When Star Princess sets sail this October, she won’t just be a new ship — she’ll be a floating showcase of boundary-pushing cruise entertainment. Princess Cruises has unveiled a bold lineup of original productions, candlelit concerts, and immersive performances designed to captivate guests from the moment the sun sets to long after the final curtain.
Headliners at Sea: Original Productions in The Princess Arena
Two original shows are set to make waves in the state-of-the-art Princess Arena:
Meridian takes guests aboard the Celestial, a grand ship sailing through the opulent age of masked balls and hidden passions. This sweeping theatrical production blends cinematic storytelling with contemporary music in a narrative of love, identity, and self-discovery.
Illuminate: A Spectacle of Joy invites audiences into a nostalgic circus tent where illusion gives way to wonder. Through vibrant choreography and a multi-generational pop soundtrack, the show explores the extraordinary hidden within everyday life, led by a charismatic cast of performers embodying the many sides of a ringmaster.
Both productions were developed in collaboration with acclaimed creative teams known for their immersive and emotionally resonant shows.
Latin Beats Return with Viva La Música
Back by popular demand from Sun Princess, Viva La Música returns to celebrate the rhythms and energy of Latin America. The high-energy showcase features powerful vocals, pulsating dance, and a soundtrack of Latin pop favorites, promising to turn up the heat onboard.
Candlelight in The Dome: A New Kind of Sea Serenade
Perched at the top of the ship, the stunning glass-enclosed Dome transforms into a candlelit concert hall each evening. The new Candlelight Concert Series blends classical music with cinematic flair in an intimate, sensory-rich setting. It’s a unique offering designed to stir the soul and elevate sea nights with an air of quiet magic.
Piazza Comes Alive After Dark
Entertainment on Star Princess isn’t confined to the theater. At the heart of the ship, the Piazza becomes a spontaneous stage, pulsing with live music, impromptu performances, and high-energy events:
- Princess Jamz delivers 45 minutes of powerhouse music from the 15-piece Princess World Orchestra, filling the atrium with big-band brilliance.
- Celestial Champagne Soirée, a new nighttime signature event, combines immersive visuals, music, and the classic Champagne Waterfall in a spectacle under the stars.
Guests can also expect themed deck parties, social celebrations, and a rotating schedule of pop-up performances throughout their voyage.
A Ship Designed to Inspire
Built to host over 4,000 guests and packed with creative venues, Star Princess was conceived with entertainment at its core. From high-tech theater productions to elegant candlelight moments and everything in between, Princess Cruises is setting a new standard for nightlife at sea.
As the second Sphere-class ship, Star Princess continues the line’s mission to evolve cruise culture with experiences that surprise, move, and connect. If you’re sailing this fall, prepare for evenings that feel nothing short of extraordinary.
