Hawaii Cruise with Sapphire Princess

Princess Cruises offers classy cruises with an international atmosphere. The cruise line, which now has one of the largest fleets with 18 ships, startet its success story more than 50 years ago with a single ship cruising along the Mexican Riviera. Meanwhile, the ships of the cruise are sailing on all of the seven seas and cruise along varied routes at all continents. The atmosphere on board the ships is relaxed and comfortable, instead of large rooms you will find also on the larger ships rather smaller cafes and bars. However, the stylish ambience and the excellent cuisine ensure a classic cruise feeling. More and more German guests are also discovering Princess Cruises, so there is German-speaking on-board assistance on selected voyages. Nevertheless, you should have a basic knowledge of English.

The Sapphire Princess was built in 2004 and most recently modernized in 2018. At a length of 290 meters, up to 2670 passengers can be accommodated (with double occupancy). More than half of the passenger cabins on board have their own balcony, where you can enjoy the fresh sea air. Excellent cuisine, excellent service and many entertainment options ensure well-being and variety on board. The additional costs are comparable, if not lower than on German ships. The board currency is the US dollar. All services are subject to a service charge, as is standard on international ships.

All cabins aboard the Sapphire Princess are very cosy and comfortably furnished and also quite spacious. Almost half of the cabins have their own balcony. The inside cabins are mostly 14-15 square meters, outdoor cabins 15-20 square meters and balcony cabins 16-25 square meters. The size of the suites varies between 28 and 122 square meters depending on the category.

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.
