Home Port

Southampton, UK

Enchanted Princess launched in 2020 — delayed from her original 2019 delivery by shipyard complications, then further delayed by COVID. When she finally entered service, she became Princess's primary UK-based ship out of Southampton, offering Mediterranean, Northern Europe, and Caribbean sailings for British passengers. As the newest Royal-class ship, she benefits from all the MedallionClass technology refinements and Princess's most recent interior design updates.

✦ The standout feature

Discovery at SEA — an enrichment partnership with the Discovery Channel and BBC Earth that brings wildlife documentaries, expert talks, and speciality programming to sea, making Enchanted particularly compelling for nature and wildlife enthusiasts sailing Northern Europe and Mediterranean itineraries.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does Enchanted Princess sail from Southampton?▼

Princess Cruises has had a significant British customer base for decades and Enchanted is designated as their dedicated UK homeport ship, making her the de facto 'British Princess.' Southampton is the UK's primary cruise port, easily accessible from London and the wider UK by train and road.

What is Discovery at SEA on Enchanted Princess?▼

Discovery at SEA is Princess's enrichment partnership with Discovery Channel and BBC Earth. It includes documentary screenings at Movies Under the Stars, expert naturalist talks (on relevant itineraries), and themed programming that connects destinations to wildlife and nature content. It's particularly valuable on Northern Europe and Alaska sailings.

Is Enchanted Princess a new ship?▼

She's the newest Royal-class Princess ship, launched in 2020 (though delayed from her original 2019 delivery). She's not the newest Princess ship overall — Sun Princess (2024, Sphere class) is newer and represents the next generation of Princess design. But among Royal-class ships, Enchanted is the most recently built.

What is Club Class Mini-Suite on Enchanted Princess?▼

Club Class is a premium cabin category that includes priority access to the main dining room with a dedicated section, priority embarkation, and slightly enhanced service. Mini-Suites in Club Class have more space than standard balcony staterooms and are popular for passengers who want an upgrade without the full suite price.
