With the snip of a ribbon aboard Sapphire Princess, Princess Cruises marked the completion of a three-year project to add the line’s signature “pocket of tranquility” – the Sanctuary – across the line’s fleet. The adults-only retreat is now available to passengers on 14 of the line’s ships.
The Sanctuary, which debuted in 2006 aboard Crown Princess, gives passengers a spot to take a break and feel as if they’re indulging in a private getaway with plush seating, massage cabanas, signature beverages, light meals, service from “serenity stewards” and personal entertainment.To make room for the newest Sanctuary, the sports court on Sapphire Princess was relocated to a new space on top of Skywalkers nightclub. This new area high atop the ship also offers extra lounge chairs and ocean views.
The installation of the Sanctuary on Sapphire Princess marked the beginning of a transformation for the ship, which will receive many more Princess features when it goes into drydock from January to February of next year.
