Princess Cruises has completed refurbishment work on the 2,000-guest Sun Princess.

The ship underwent a two-week refit in Singapore and now features a redesigned youth centre, new premium staterooms and upgraded onboard shopping.

The Camp Discovery Youth Centre is for cruisers aged 3-17 and was created in partnership with the Discovery Channel, while Sun Princess now features club class mini-suites, Princess Cruises’ premium stateroom category that includes VIP amenities, exclusive dining and priority embarkation and disembarkation.

The cruise line has also added an Effy Fine Jewelry boutique and luxury designer brands including Burberry, Coach, Longchamp and Guess.

The enhancements are part of Princess’ ‘Come Back New Promise’ campaign, in which £330m is being invested across the line’s fleet of 17 ships.

Sun Princess is currently sailing in Southeast Asia, before returning to Australia for the 2019 winter season. Her itineraries begin on the western coast before transitioning to the eastern coast and New Zealand.

Jan Swartz, Princess Cruises’ president, said: “Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand have always had an allure for travellers and cruising is one of the best ways to explore them.

“We are thrilled to provide guests sailing the regions with our newest onboard features that enhance their cruise experience while sailing this beautiful part of the world.”

Meanwhile, Princess Cruises is offering a 15-day Indonesia cruise roundtrip from Fremantle, Australia departing December 23 2019 on Sun Princess, with prices starting from £1,519pp with $300 onboard spend per couple.

Ports of call include Lombok and Bali, and the ship will also make her only call to Komodo Island, which includes Komodo National Park, one of the ‘New Seven Wonders of Nature’.

Princess Cruises has also confirmed that in 2020 Sun Princess will be docked in Yokohama Port and serve as a floating hotel during the Tokyo Olympics to help support local accommodation. The vessel will be chartered by a Japan travel agency for 19 days.
