Discover every type of stateroom – from the compact inside cabin to the opulent suite, with sizes ranging from 161 to a staggering 1,873 square feet.

We all love to imagine ourselves on our holiday, so by deciding upon your stateroom with our help you are one step closer to stepping foot onboard.

Inside Stateroom

Whilst inside cabins often get the unfair rep of being reserved for the penny pinchers, inside cabins with Princess Cruises offer you everything you need and more for the entirety of your cruise.

Interior rooms are small, but mighty, sleeping two to four people and help you save extra cash meaning you can opt to spend your money in the speciality restaurants or the spa instead, to name only a few examples.

If you are travelling as a family, don’t think that you can’t choose an inside stateroom as some of these cabins feature two extra Pullman beds which come down from the ceiling, sleeping a family of four easily.

It is also worth keeping in mind that each Princess Cruises ship has absolutely tons of spaces crafted for your entertainment onboard – from swimming pools to sports courts to casinos.

So, with an interior stateroom, you have the space to unwind and relax on your plush bed and plan what you want to see on your next port of call before heading out, aka, the perfect base for the adventurer at heart.

Oceanview stateroom

Oceanview cabins give you that all-important glimpse to your next port of call, or those iconic never-ending sea views, whilst remaining an affordable option.

And you can either opt for a porthole or a spacious picture window so you can still enjoy the views that a balcony possesses.

Whether you are travelling with a friend or as a couple, you are covered as the bed in this room can either be arranged as a Queen or two twin beds – in fact, all staterooms with Princess can be arranged in these two ways.

The expanse of your room measuring between 146 to 206 square feet and you will enjoy the same interior features as an inside room, so wake up and switch your flat-screen tv on to see the itinerary of the day, before climbing out of your high-thread count linens and picking your outfit of the day out of your spacious closet.

Balcony Stateroom

Go a step further, literally, and choose a balcony cabin for your private outdoor space. What better way to wake up and enjoy a front-row seat to some beautiful views?

Not only will you enjoy the welcome addition of a balcony, equipped with a table and chairs, but you will also have more interior space than the standard stateroom at 214 to 222 square feet, including the balcony.

Deluxe balcony stateroom

Live the lavish life and upgrade yourself to a deluxe balcony stateroom. At 233 to 279 square feet (including balcony) you can relax in extra space, allowing your stateroom to truly feel like a home from home.

Make the most of the complimentary room service – even indulge in this delicious food on your comfy sofa or perhaps on your balcony. Don’t worry, even your midnight snacks are covered as the room service is 24 hours – in fact, room service is available both day and night in every type of stateroom.

You can think of the deluxe balcony stateroom as an enhanced version of the balcony stateroom – just with more space and with some amenities offered with the mini-suite stateroom – lucky you.

Enjoy the luxury of the Mini-suite

The ultimate cruise accommodation – The Suite

The crème de la crème of Princess Cruises staterooms – the suite.

It isn’t just a suite, it is an entire suite experience with some of the most opulent accommodation at sea.

You will feel the benefits of living the ‘suite’ life from the moment your cruise starts with priority embarkation and disembarkation at the beginning and end of your cruise. Priority will epitomise your cruising experience, with first dips of onboard shore excursion reservations and a separate line at the guest service desk.

To relax onboard away from the hustle and bustle, make the most of the exclusive Elite Lounge with complimentary hors d’oeuvres on select ships.

Talking of food, in the evenings you can opt for the Club Class Dining in the Main Dining Room or, if you are wanting a lazy day you can choose from the upgraded priority room service menu – talk about fancy.

Trust us – you will never want to leave your 932 square foot suite as you receive the classic Princess Cruises opulent service in abundance.

The best of the best - The Sky Suite

If you are a big believer that bigger is better and want to celebrate a special occasion or simply treat yourself, then opt for the Sky suite, available on Enchanted Princess, Discovery Princess and Sky Princess.

Measuring 1,873 square feet, the Sky suite goes above and beyond what you would expect of a suite with highlights including a private Movies Under the Stars balcony viewing and a deluxe telescope for Discovery Stargazing at SEA.

Within the suite itself, if you don’t fancy getting dressed to go to breakfast – then don’t! Take advantage of complimentary ultimate balcony breakfast, and even dinner.
