One of two Princess Cruises' ships designed especially to cruise through the Panama Canal, Island Princess is as stunning as the destinations she visits, and boasting an incredible 700 balconies, you can enjoy the views and magnificent engineering of the canal from the comfort of your room. Boasting many of the fleets' signature features onto a mid-size ship, you'll be able to indulge in delicious meals and exciting entertainment from morning until evening. When it comes to itineraries, you can adventure far afield, or stay closer to home with voyages to Iceland, the Baltics, Norway and more from Southampton.

Dining onboard Island Princess is a spectacular affair, with many delectable dining options to choose from. Select traditional set dining in the Provence Dining Room or opt for Anytime Dining in the Bordeaux Dining Room. Treat yourself to Princess Cruises speciality restaurants such as the Bayou Cafe - a New Orleans style restaurant- or the Princess signature venue - the Sterling Steakhouse.
For a quick bite head to Horizon Court and take in the panoramic views from the impressive windows, or check out the outdoor pizzeria and hamburger grill out on deck. Whatever your mood, there is a dining choice to suit all those onboard the Island Princess.
If you’re in the mood for a Broadway-style show, head to the Princess Theatre or if comedy nights and guest entertainers are more up your street, check out the Universe Lounge, where different live acts will perform throughout the week. The Lounge Bar offers everything from live sports and music to dance classes and of course incredible cocktails. Martini fans head to Crooners where the astonishing menu means you can go all week without drinking two cocktails the same.
For a day of relaxation onboard Island Princess, head to the Asian inspired Lotus Spa for a selection of relaxing therapies and treatments, or just to take a dip in the adult only Lotus Pool. There is also a full beauty salon if some pampering is on the agenda.
For those looking to keep to their daily routine, or in need of burning off some of the incredible food, head to the state-of-the-art fitness room. With the latest equipment and fully trained staff on call, there is everything you need to keep your fitness regime up, or start a new one at sea.
If you’d like to enjoy some leisurely activities in your downtime between shore excursions and evening entertainment, Island Princess has plenty to offer:
Onboard Island Princess, the dress code includes both formal and smart/casual. On informal evenings, smart casual is expected whereas on formal nights you can dress to impress. If a long day of shore excursions, a large lunch, or a day of relaxing in the spa means you don't fancy dressing for dinner, then the buffet restaurant always offers a casual dress code - and has the added bonus of being open 24/7.
The stateroom was spacious. The food was endless and delicious. The ship was quite large and kept clean by the numerous staff. The staff were very attentive and we had a fantastic time onboard and in the ports.
Great trip, superb staff . . . . princess all the way. . .
Just returned from a 20 day cruise around the Med. 15 stops in 20 days, each one had something new to experience. Best cruise for exploring new places. Lovely cabin and ship. Staff very friendly and attentive. Evening meal in dining room very disappointing in choice and quality. Have always eaten in dining room on previous cruises. This time we ate in buffet as it had a super choice and well cooked food. Overall a very good cruise
Room was a decent size. The first show in the theatre was amazing and I was really impressed. We had an excellent meal in Sabatini's. It was a good holiday.
