Princess Cruises’ Mini-Suites

When booking a Princess Cruises Mini-Suite, you’re not just securing your spot on an incredible adventure around the world, you’re giving yourself a treat every time you walk into your stateroom. An improvement on Princess Cruises’ standard balcony cabins, relish in more room to relax and upgraded amenities in this affordable option for anyone who wants to indulge in Princess Cruises’ suite benefits while sailing.

Spanning roughly 300 sq.ft – when you take the larger balcony into account – a Princess Cruises Mini-Suite is an elegant upgrade for passengers travelling in pairs (although, these staterooms do sleep three, thanks to the sofa bed) and an option that adds a splash of luxury to your experience without breaking the bank. But, what does a Mini-Suite on Princess Cruises actually come with? What perks and benefits can you look forward to when you book into one?

Well, not only will you get a welcome glass of champagne when you first arrive, you’ll also find your stylish accommodation kitted out with upgraded premium bathroom amenities, a hair dryer (which you may be surprised to learn isn’t something everyone onboard can enjoy in their stateroom), luxurious cotton linens, a daily housekeeping service with 24-hour room service, complimentary fresh fruit on request, and even an evening bed turn-down with pillow chocolates!

With a separate seating area inside, a larger balcony with more outdoor furniture to accommodate the extra space, and a bathroom with both a bathtub and a shower, booking into a Mini-Suite really is a fantastic option for everyone. If you want to make sure you’re going to have enough room to rest and recuperate after a busy day, these larger staterooms are where you’ll find it.

Reserve Collection Mini-Suite

If you like the look of a Mini-Suite stateroom, but you want to treat yourself even more, then a Reserve Collection Mini-Suite is a fantastic way to elevate your experience onboard without needing to dramatically increase the price of your Princess Cruises fare.

Not only do Reserve Collection Mini-Suite staterooms come with all of Princess Cruises’ Mini-Suite perks, which you can find outlined above, you’ll also enjoy even more elevated amenities and services – making cruising with Princess Cruises even more effortless. These include priority embarkation and disembarkation, priority specialty dining reservations, a complimentary in-suite wine set-up, complimentary premium evening canapes on request, upgraded terry shawl bathrobes, and Reserve Collection Dining – an exclusive dining experience with no wait times or reservations required, additional menu items, and it’s own dedicated waitstaff.

And, on top of that, Reserve Collection Mini-Suite staterooms are also sitting in premium locations onboard. This means you’ll find these suites both at the front of the ship, giving you even better views off your larger balcony, and comfortably mid-ship. If you’re prone to bouts of seasickness and you’re not sure the best sea sickness remedies will actually help, a stateroom in the middle of the ship – which will be closer to the ship’s pivot and experience less movement – is something worth spending a little more to secure.

Cabana Mini-Suite

Exclusively available on Star Princess and Sun Princess, and one of the top Sun Princess suites available, a Cabana Mini-Suite stateroom offers all the same additional amenities and improved services as a standard Princess Cruises’ Mini-Suite – meaning you’ll get a welcome glass of champagne when you arrive, be able to pamper yourself with upgraded premium bathroom amenities, and savour a night’s sleep with luxury linens. However, the stateroom itself is something of an upgrade on the standard Mini-Suite, meaning there’s definitely cause for considering an upgrade.

As the name suggests, Princess Cruises’ Cabana Mini-Suite staterooms come with both a cabana and a private balcony – meaning you can bask in beautiful sea views and enjoy the open air whatever the weather. And, to help you make the most of this additional sheltered space, these staterooms also come with unique outdoor furniture, including an ottoman. If you’re worried you’ll be trading some inside space for a cabana, fear not; Cabana Mini-Suites are approximately 330 sq.ft. in total, so you’ll still have more than enough legroom when lounging indoors.

Cabana Deck Mini-Suite

Much like the aforementioned Cabana Mini-Suite, the Cabana Deck Mini-Suite – also exclusive to Star Princess and Sun Princess, which is one of the biggest cruise ships in the world right now – comes with all of Princess Cruises’ Mini-Suite benefits as standard. So, you’ll find yourself with a welcome glass of champagne when you arrive, upgraded premium bathroom amenities with a hair dryer, luxury linens, 24-hour room service, and more. Unlike the Cabana Mini-Suite, though, these Cabana Deck Mini-Suite staterooms are a little larger and give you exclusive access to the Cabana Deck.

Roughly 390 sq.ft. in size, with most of that extra room expanding on the outside space available, the comfortable cabana and private balcony these staterooms feature doesn’t actually look out at the serene seas you’ll be sailing through – at least not directly. Instead, you’ll find that this outdoor space opens up onto the Cabana Deck: an exclusive outdoor lounge with comfortable sun loungers perfect for enjoying the sunshine. If you would rather avoid the rush of people trying to secure a sun lounger poolside when the sun is shining, then access to the Cabana Deck becomes much more worthwhile.

Sanctuary Mini-Suite

If you’re looking for an elevated experience on Star Princess or Sun Princess, something more than the standard selection of Mini-Suite benefits to really treat yourself during your getaway, then look no further than the Sanctuary Mini-Suite staterooms. Not only will you have access to all the perks a Princess Cruises Mini-Suite affords, but you’ll also enjoy access to an entirely new world of bespoke amenities and premium services with the Sanctuary Collection – an improved version of the Reserve Collection available on other ships and Princess Cruises’ most extravagant upgrade package available.

Welcoming you into a world of luxury beyond your well-appointed stateroom, you’ll have exclusive access to the sensational Sanctuary Club with a Sanctuary Mini-Suite – which really is reason enough to consider upgrading your booking. A tranquil top-deck space with its own swimming pool for you to soak in, you’ll find an exclusive bar with a custom menu of beverages and light bites available here too – and the chance to find your zen with several exclusive wellness classes throughout your voyage.

That isn’t all, though. Available from October 2024, the Sanctuary Collection also comes with access to the equally-exclusive Sanctuary Collection restaurant, reserved seating for select theatre shows, and all the additional Princess Premier benefits, including: the Premier Beverage Package, MedallionNet WiFi for four devices, unlimited complimentary fitness classes, unlimited complimentary casual dining and premium desserts, two complimentary specialty dining experiences, and complimentary access to OceanNow (a ship-wide delivery service akin to room service, but available almost anywhere onboard). If you want to find out more about what the Premier Beverage Package includes, you can read up on Princess Cruises’ drinks packages right here. And, you can find out more about Princess Cruises' MedallionClass experience and Ocean Medallion here – both of which are an important part of enjoying your Princess Cruises getaway to its fullest.

Stylish staterooms similar in size to standard Mini-Suites, with all the fine furnishings and luxury linens, any sailing in a Sanctuary Mini-Suite promises to be truly unforgettable.

Premium Mini-Suite

What makes a Mini-Suite on Princess Cruises a ‘premium’ offering, you might be asking? Well, it might not be very clear at a glance, but the main difference between a standard Mini-Suite stateroom and a Premium Mini-Suite is its size in square footage.

Premium Mini-Suite staterooms are approximately 315 sq.ft. in size – an improvement that might seem minor when compared to a standard Mini-Suite, which are 300 sq.ft. on average, but something that can actually make quite a bit of difference. This will give you a little more legroom when lounging inside, afford you more space to stretch out in the sunshine on your extra-large balcony, and generally make staying in your stateroom much more comfortable – especially if you’re travelling in a group of three or four guests.

And, while you’re relishing all that extra room, you can also savour all the standard Mini-Suite benefits Princess Cruises offers too, including: a welcome glass of champagne when you arrive, upgraded premium bathroom amenities, luxury linens, and more. If sheer space is something you’re concerned about, then upgrading to a Premium Mini-Suite is definitely worth considering where available. Although, if you want to indulge in even more additional amenities and services while sailing, you may want to go one step further and consider a Reserve Collection or Sanctuary Collection booking.

Mini-Suite Without Balcony

Only available on Coral Princess, a Mini-Suite Without Balcony stateroom really is exactly what you think; it’s a standard Mini-Suite stateroom with an oceanview window instead of a balcony. So, while you’ll still be able to sit and admire the stunning scenery while sailing – and enjoy natural light indoors – you won’t get any private outside space with these staterooms.

Still, Mini-Suite Without Balcony staterooms are still roughly the same size as a standard Mini-Suite on the inside and come with all the exclusive Mini-Suite amenities available, including: a welcome glass of champagne upon arrival, luxury linens, upgraded premium bathroom amenities, and more. So, this makes these staterooms a more affordable option for anyone looking for the additional space and amenities a Mini-Suite affords; you’ll just need to head up to one of the upper decks if you want to enjoy the sunshine in some fresh air.

Princess Cruises’ Suites

A Mini-Suite might sound more than big enough when it comes to enjoying a sailing somewhere sunny, but Princess Cruises’ Suites elevate things to another level – both in elegance and extra benefits. Anywhere from 440 sq.ft to 690 sq.ft. on average, with upgraded patio furniture adorning larger balconies and even more exclusive perks, Princess Cruises’ Suite experience can transform a lovely cruise holiday into a truly luxurious getaway and shouldn’t be passed up on.

What are the benefits of a suite on Princess Cruises, though? Well, if you’re looking for reasons to book a Princess Cruises suite, we have you covered. Aside from the fact that every area of the stateroom – both inside and out – is far larger than what a Mini-Suite offers, a suite also comes with a complimentary mini-bar set-up, upgraded premium bathroom amenities, luxurious linens and deluxe furnishings, an evening bed turn-down service with pillow chocolates, and a comfortable pillow-top mattress on your queen-size bed. So, you can definitely expect to get the very best night’s sleep when sailing in a suite.

Beyond this, the suite experience includes exclusive access to the Disembarkation Lounge onboard, priority disembarkation both at tender ports and at the end of your cruise, priority at the Guest Service Desk and when making shore excursion reservations onboard, and – on select ships – access to the Elite Lounge (or Concierge Lounge) with complimentary hors d’oeuvres. This elegant spot is found on Princess Cruises’ Royal-class ships, including: Royal Princess, Regal Princess, Majestic Princess, Sky Princess, and Enchanted Princess.

If you can believe it, the benefits of the Princess Cruises’ suite experience don’t quite stop there. In addition to all of the above, if you’re sailing on Discovery Princess or Enchanted Princess, you’ll also have access to Reserve Dining in the Main Dining Room for both breakfast and dinner, priority specialty dining reservations, an upgraded priority Princess Cruises suite room service menu, a complimentary specialty dining mimosa breakfast every day, and a complimentary dining experience on embarkation day. With each suite stateroom overflowing with elegance, and the suite benefits layering on the luxury at every turn, sailing in a Princess Cruises suite promises to be a truly special experience.

Premium Suite

In a similar fashion to the Mini-Suite and Premium Mini-Suite comparisons, a Premium Suite is a larger version of Princess Cruises’ standard suite – complete with all the benefits that makes staying in a suite a truly extraordinary experience.

A little larger on average, with some ships offering Premium Suite staterooms up to 730 sq.ft. in size, you’ll find all the comforts of a standard suite stateroom available in a Premium Suite; these include an improved evening bed turn-down service, luxury linens, upgraded premium bathroom amenities, and more. This improved square footage also makes Premium Suites a far better option for groups of three or four guests, as you’ll have even more room to stretch your legs and lounge indoors after a busy day.

Beyond this, you can relish in an even larger balcony – complemented by upgraded patio furniture – and a complimentary mini-bar set-up. So, if you’re someone who wants to make the most of your private space while sailing, and you want to make sure you’re getting all of Princess Cruises’ suite perks, upgrading to a Premium Suite is definitely worth considering.

Penthouse Suite

Often aft-facing, Princess Cruises’ Penthouses Suite staterooms are essentially Premium Suite staterooms located on a higher deck, and at the back of the ship; this means a Penthouse Suite booking will come with all the same benefits as a Premium Suite, with an even larger balcony space offering an even better view of the stunning scenery you’ll be sailing through – perfect if you’re planning on enjoying each sensational sunset in the comfort and privacy your stateroom affords.

So, much like the aforementioned Premium Suite, Princess Cruises’ Penthouse Suites come with the following features and additional perks: upgraded balcony furniture, a complimentary mini-bar set-up, a comfortable luxury pillow-top mattress complemented by equally-luxurious linens, an improved evening bed turn-down service, upgraded premium bathroom amenities with a hair dryer, and all the suite experience benefits – such as priority disembarkation and priority specialty dining reservations.

Sanctuary Suite

Princess Cruises’ Sanctuary Suite staterooms are among the most luxurious at sea and, much like the Sanctuary Mini-Suite, are only available on Star Princess and Sun Princess. With all the additional amenities and benefits of Princess Cruises’ suite experience added to the exclusive extras afforded by the Sanctuary Collection, these staterooms are almost unparalleled in their elegance and all-but-guarantee an unforgettable adventure with Princess Cruises.

As outlined above, you’ll be able to enjoy all the enhanced amenities and improved services a Princess Cruises suite offers when you book yourself into a Sanctuary Suite – including, but not limited to, upgraded bathroom amenities, priority disembarkation and specialty dining reservations, and a complimentary in-suite mini-bar set-up. However, to make enjoying your getaway even more effortless, you can also indulge in every incredible extra the Sanctuary Collection comes with – all while luxuriating in an abundance of space inside and out.

Sanctuary Collection benefits, which also encompass everything Princess Premier offers, include: the Premier Beverage Package, MedallionNet WiFi for up to four devices, unlimited fitness classes and access to the premium juice bar, two complimentary specialty dining experiences, unlimited casual dining with premium desserts, complimentary OceanNow delivery, exclusive access to both the Sanctuary Restaurant and Sanctuary Club, and even reserved seating for theatre shows.

If you want to splash out and relish in one of the most complete, luxurious experiences Princess Cruises offers, the Sanctuary Suite is definitely a stateroom you should consider when booking your next getaway. It really is that simple.

Window Suite

A Window Suite, much like a Mini-Suite Without Balcony, is a suite – enjoying all of Princess Cruises’ Suite-only benefits and luxury amenities – without a balcony. Instead, these elegant staterooms feature large picture windows along the outside wall. While they’re not quite ‘floor-to-ceiling’, these bigger windows will let in more natural light than a standard oceanview window or porthole and make it even easier to appreciate all the sensational sea views from the comfort of your stateroom.

A more affordable option when it comes to Princess Cruises’ selection of suite-level staterooms, you’ll still be able to take full advantage of perks like priority disembarkation and priority specialty dining reservations with a Window Suite. That, and you can still savour the upgraded premium bathroom amenities, luxurious pillow-top mattresses, and an improved evening bed turn-down service – on top of everything else Princess Cruises’ suite experience offers. If you don’t mind missing out on access to a private balcony, these comfortable accommodations are well-worth considering – especially if you’re travelling as a group of three or four guests.

Signature Suite

Another exclusive suite-class stateroom for anyone sailing on Star Princess or Sun Princess to relish in, the Signature Suite is an improvement on Princess Cruises’ standard suite staterooms – with enhanced amenities and benefits, and everything the Sanctuary Collection offers – but is slightly smaller than the Premium Suites available onboard. But, what you lose in square footage (which isn’t that much, with these staterooms ranging from 300 sq.ft. to 640 sq.ft. on average) is more than made up for by the exclusive perks a Signature Suite comes with.

In addition to all the suite perks (and Sanctuary Collection benefits, which includes Princess Premier), you’ll also find the most luxurious balcony furniture in a Signature Suite alongside a private cabana beside your balcony – giving you even more outside space – and the finest furnishings. Booking into one of these stunning staterooms will also afford you priority embarkation, and both complimentary laundry services and complimentary professional cleaning services.

Among the most comprehensive, and wholly luxurious, experiences Princess Cruises offers, you’ll be able to rest assured knowing that everything is taken care of when you book into one of these beautiful staterooms.

Sky Suite

If you’re looking for the most premium Princess Cruises experience available, then look no further than a Sky Suite – the pinnacle when it comes to sheer space and staterooms with a truly sensational selection of luxury amenities and additional perks.

Spanning around 1,200 sq.ft. on average, these spacious suite-level staterooms boast the largest balconies onboard, with select ships’ Sky Suites actually featuring wraparound balconies. They also have two bedrooms and two bathrooms, with a full bathtub and separate shower in one of the two bathrooms. With most suite-level staterooms featuring a slightly smaller combination bathtub shower, this is a real indication of just how spacious a Sky Suite is compared to the other suite-level staterooms available.

While you’re relishing in all that room, you’ll also have access to all the standard suite perks, everything the Sanctuary Collection offers, and a handful of exclusive extra benefits – all of which enhance your experience onboard even further. Sky Suite guests can take advantage of a private shopping concierge, access to a deluxe telescope for stargazing while at sea, a complimentary maître d' wine tasting session, complimentary access to The Enclave thermal spa escape, and even a reserved bungalow on Princess Cays – one of the top cruise line private islands in the Caribbean.

Home to all the finest furnishings and furniture, a real abundance of space both inside and out, and a truly overwhelming amount of additional perks and benefits, a Sky Suite is – without a doubt – the ultimate way to experience a Princess Cruises’ getaway. To say a cruise holiday spent in one of these staterooms would be unforgettable would be an understatement; your every want and need will be looked after with the utmost care while you’re sailing in the lavish luxury of a Sky Suite.

Grand Suite

Larger than your average suite stateroom, a Grand Suite is a great option for anyone – especially those travelling in a group of three or four guests – who wants to delight in the finer details of a suite-level stateroom on a Princess Cruises ship, but wants to make sure they’re going to have more than enough room to enjoy all the extra amenities on offer.

Roughly 640 sq.ft. in size, taking into account the larger-than-average balcony a Grand Suite comes equipped with, these staterooms feature an expanded lounge space inside, a separate dining area (which often equates to a small table with two chairs), and a walk-in closet – something that becomes even more useful on longer sailings. It might not be quite the multi-room offering of a Sky Suite or Two-Bedroom Family Suite, but it will still comfortably sleep three to four guests and presents itself as a fantastic improvement on a standard suite. You’ll have more room to sit down and indulge in a decadent dish from room service, ample space to sun-soak on your private balcony, and even more room to stretch out on the sofa after a busy day.

That’s not all, though. In addition to all the perks that make Princess Cruises’ suite experience so special – and all the premium benefits the Reserve Collection (or Sanctuary Collection, on Star Princess and Sun Princess) affords – a Grand Suite also gives you priority check-in services, priority disembarkation, and priority boarding at tender ports.

So, while a Grand Suite isn’t the largest of the staterooms available with Princess Cruises, it’s still a fantastic option for groups of three and four guests looking for somewhere to rest and recharge after a busy day – and the incredible abundance of extra amenities really does speak for itself.

Vista Suite

Princess Cruises’ Vista Suite staterooms are a little larger than the standard suite staterooms available – approximately 450 sq.ft. on average – and exude elegance at every turn. Occupying that space between the size of a suite and a Grand Suite, the elegance of these staterooms is complemented by all the standard Suite perks and the Reserve Collection benefits (or the Sanctuary Collection benefits, if you’re on Star Princess or Sun Princess).

With space enough to sleep up to four guests fairly comfortably, although you will find larger staterooms available if you’re worried about feeling cramped, a Vista Suite is elegantly appointed with a lavish lounge space, luxury linens and comfortable pillow-top mattresses, upgraded premium bathroom amenities, and more. You’ll also enjoy complimentary access to the exclusive dining experiences and lounges that come with the Reserve Collection and Sanctuary Collection respectively.

When you couple this with extra perks like priority check-in services and priority disembarkation, it’s quite easy to make a case for booking a Vista Suite ahead of your next cruise getaway. Described as a haven for peace and serenity, a Vista Suite is a veritable paradise onboard and promises to make each and every day aboard a Princess Cruises ship truly excellent.

Owner's Suite

Another larger variation of the standard suite staterooms available, a Princess Cruises Owner’s suite isn’t actually too dissimilar from the previously-mentioned Vista Suite. Booking yourself into one of these will get you all the standard suite perks, everything the Reserve Collection has to offer, and a sweeping selection of luxury amenities to complement the elegant furnishings completing this stateroom. What makes an Owner’s Suite stand out, though, is their location onboard – and the fact that these staterooms are anything from 600 sq.ft. to around 850 sq.ft. in size, something that can vary from ship to ship.

Often aft-facing, Owner’s Suite staterooms benefit from having a bigger balcony space – which is equipped with improved outdoor furniture – and even more expansive lounge areas inside. You will find that these are often closer to certain entertainment venues onboard, though – for example, the Vista Lounge on Discovery Princess. This has its advantages and disadvantages, and is something you should consider when booking. If you’re a little sensitive to noise and often head to bed earlier in the evenings, you may want to consider an alternative suite-level stateroom a few decks higher than where the Owner’s Suite staterooms sit.

However, if you’re just looking for ample room to relax above all else – and you don’t mind dealing with a little bit of noise throughout the evening – then an Owner’s Suite is a truly fantastic option. Expansive and elegant in equal measures, an Owner’s Suite is an opulent option that really will feel like a home away from home, no matter the Princess Cruises ship you’re sailing on.

Two-Bedroom Family Suite

As the name rather helpfully suggests, a Two-Bedroom Family Suite is a fantastic option for family groups off on an adventure with Princess Cruises. With two separate bedrooms comfortably sleeping four guests (with space for six on Diamond Princess and Sapphire Princess), two bathrooms, and an expansive lounge area accompanying an extra-wide balcony, these staterooms stretch up to 1,280 sq.ft. – something that will ensure everyone will have more than enough room to rest and recuperate after a busy day.

Like Princess Cruises’ other suite-level staterooms, you’ll enjoy all the standard suite-only benefits when booked into a Two-Bedroom Family Suite, including a complimentary mini-bar set-up, an evening bed turn-down service with pillow chocolates, and daily housekeeping services. And, if that wasn’t enough, as a full suite, you can also take advantage of all the exclusive amenities available with the Reserve Collection – including priority embarkation and disembarkation, Reserve Collection Dining, and upgraded terry shawl bathrobes.

One of the few multi-room suite-level staterooms available with Princess Cruises, this can also be a fantastic option for groups of three or four guests (who aren’t necessarily a family unit) who don’t want to stay in separate staterooms, but are still looking for a little more privacy from one another while sailing. Whatever your situation, the list of benefits speaks for itself and any sailing spent in a Two-Bedroom Family Suite promises to be an unforgettable experience.
