Majestic Princess was originally designed for the Chinese market and launched with features specifically for Chinese passengers — including Harmony, a dedicated Chinese restaurant, and décor elements tailored to Chinese aesthetics. After Princess's China plans evolved, she became the line's most globally deployed Royal-class ship, spending summers in Alaska from Los Angeles and winters in Australia and Asia. The Chinese-market heritage gives her a distinct flavour and some unique features not found on her sisters.

✦ The standout feature

Majestic Princess has the most diverse deployment history in the Princess fleet — she has sailed Alaska, Australia, Asia, the Mediterranean, and transatlantic repositioning voyages. Guests who book her often find a particularly well-travelled crew with global knowledge to share.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does Majestic Princess have a Chinese restaurant?
Majestic was built and launched specifically for the Chinese cruise market in 2017, with Princess operating under a joint venture in China. Harmony restaurant, authentic Chinese cuisine, and Chinese-language services were core to her original design. As Princess's China strategy evolved, she began sailing globally while retaining these unique features.
Is Majestic Princess good for Australia sailings?
Excellent. She's been Princess's primary Australian vessel for extended seasons, offering roundtrip sailings from Sydney to New Zealand, the South Pacific islands, and along the Australian coast. Princess has operated in Australian waters for decades and the crew are experienced with Australian passenger preferences.
What is the MedallionClass experience?
MedallionClass is Princess's wearable technology system — a wearable medallion that serves as your room key, payment method, and digital identity throughout the ship. It powers personalised service, in-cabin ordering, locating other passengers, and a comprehensive app. It's genuinely useful and ahead of what other mainstream lines offer.
Does Majestic Princess have The Sanctuary?
Yes. The Sanctuary is an adults-only retreat on the upper decks with plush loungers, attentive stewards, and a dedicated menu. Typically costs $30–50 per person per day. On Alaska sailings, The Sanctuary offers exceptional glacier viewing in a peaceful, crowd-free environment.
