Princess Cruises - Sapphire Princess sailing in Asia and Japan

Sapphire Princess

Discover Sapphire Princess

Discover Sapphire Princess, a Grand Class ship built in Japan and made for journeys that reward curiosity. From vibrant cities and ancient temples to island landscapes and dramatic coastlines, she is a natural choice for unforgettable Asia cruises. Between adventures ashore, slow the pace beside the pool, retreat to the adults-only Sanctuary or relax beneath the glass of the Conservatory, where you can swim, unwind in a hot tub and enjoy the views whatever the weather.

Dining brings another reason to look forward to returning onboard. Following her recent refurbishment, Sapphire Princess now features Makoto Ocean, serving beautifully presented Japanese-inspired sushi, alongside the much-loved Crown Grill steakhouse. Add Sabatini's, Alfredo's Pizzeria, Movies Under the Stars and live entertainment around the ship, and Sapphire Princess makes the journey between destinations every bit as memorable as the places you visit.
