Detailed answer
Sky Princess was built by Fincantieri at Monfalcone in Italy, the fourth of Princess's Royal-class ships, and made its first voyage from Italy on Tuesday 15 October 2019. Princess gives a gross tonnage of 141,000, a length of 1,083 feet (330 metres), 19 decks, 3,660 guests in lower berths and a crew of 1,346. The port listing expects about 5,800 passengers, well above the line's figure. Its two Sky Suites have the largest balconies at sea, and the ship has a SeaView Bar. Other highlights include The Sanctuary adults-only retreat, the poolside Movies Under the Stars screen, the Crown Grill, Sabatini's Italian Trattoria, Princess Live! and the Lotus Spa, alongside children's and teens' clubs.
How busy will town be?
The upcoming visits listed on this page show the passengers expected on each call and any other ships in port the same day. Town is busiest when several ships are in at once or a large ship arrives at a weekend. A ship carrying a few hundred passengers makes little difference on its own.
Can you sail on it from nearby?
Yes, from Southampton. The call on Friday 22 October 2027 falls near the end of a 31-night Mediterranean Marvel round trip from Southampton that leaves on Saturday 25 September 2027 and returns on Tuesday 26 October 2027. It calls at Cadiz, Malaga, Cartagena and Barcelona before heading to Italy, Istanbul, the Greek Islands and Malta, and returns via Gibraltar and La Coruna. A 46-night version stays on board from Southampton across the Atlantic to Fort Lauderdale, arriving on Wednesday 10 November 2027, via Vigo, Lisbon, Funchal and Tenerife.
