You will enjoy all the amenities and varied possibilities of a large ship while you feel secure and personally cared for, as if you were crossing the seas on a small ship. Contributing to this are the many small bars and lounges as well as the good, unobtrusive and personal service of Princess Cruises. Comfortable casual wear is recommended during the day, matching the visited destination. In the evening, the guests also like to dress a little more chic and choose sporty chic or elegant clothes.

One of the cruise lines quality features is its excellent cuisine. In addition to the main restaurant with various dining rooms, there are also four different specialty restaurants on board, where you can enjoy delicacies from all over the world at an extra cost. Sabatinis serves delicious Italian cuisine while Sterling Steakhouse focuses on American steaks. Casual-dining-restaurants offer small and filling snacks. Our tip: If you do not want to be tied to fixed table times, please note the "Anytime Dining". Then you can eat in a separate area of the main restaurant whenever you want. For that you relinquish a "fixed table" for a fixed table time in the main restaurant.

Whether you prefer calm relaxation or want to dance the night away in the disco: on board the Ruby Princess every guest gets their money's worth. In the evenings, elaborate Broadway-style shows are performed in the grand theater, while "Movies under the stars", a hallmark of the cruise line, offers cinema blockbusters in a unique, open-air atmosphere. In the Hot Spots such as the casino or SkyWalkers nightclub life still pulsates at a late hour. The Lotus Spa offers a large fitness area with stunning sea views, a pool with relaxation area and numerous courses. On the jogging course, you can enjoy the fresh sea air while running your rounds. Various other pools and hot tubs on board provide cooling and relaxing hours. For children and teenagers lots of group activities and an extra children's pool are offered.

On board the Sapphire Princess, you can experience upscale style at a very attractive price. The onboard language is English, so we recommend basic English skills. All in all, a well-organized cruising experience of very good quality awaits you with a great variety of entertainment and relaxation.
