Discovery Princess
“The West Coast's newest Princess flagship — built for Alaska, Mexico, and Pacific adventures”
Discovery Princess is the sixth and final Royal class ship, and the last Princess vessel built at the Fincantieri Monfalcone shipyard before the line transitions to the new Sphere class. She homeports in Los Angeles, making her the natural choice for West Coast cruisers heading to Alaska, the Mexican Riviera, and the Pacific. Discovery carries Princess's full MedallionClass technology — the OceanMedallion wearable device that enables keyless cabin entry, location-aware service, and on-demand ordering from anywhere on the ship. She's a proven, reliable choice for guests who value destination-focused itineraries with contemporary onboard comfort.
MedallionClass technology — the OceanMedallion is a quarter-sized wearable device that replaces your keycard, enables contactless payment, lets crew locate you for drink delivery anywhere on the ship, and connects to the JourneyView personalised itinerary planner. It's the most integrated guest-facing technology system in mainstream cruising.
