A newly refreshed Crown Princess has emerged from dry dock with several new and enhanced spaces on board.
The 113,561-ton ship, which can accommodate up to 3,080 guests, now has an O’Malley’s Irish Pub (formerly Wheelhouse Bar), a redesigned Gatsby’s Casino and a new EFFY Lounge (formerly Internet Café). The ship also underwent general refurbishments during dry dock in Singapore.
The ship is now heading to Sydney for a series of Australia cruises through May 2026. On May 10, 2026, Crown Princess departs on a 114-day world cruise.
“Crown Princess’ latest enhancements reflect our ongoing commitment to evolve and modernize our onboard offerings,” says Lorna Warren, vice president of hotel operations and guest experience for Princess Cruises.
“From introducing guest-favorite venues like O’Malley’s Irish Pub to refreshing our casino experience, these updates ensure Crown Princess is perfectly positioned to deliver an unforgettable season as she sails Down Under for our upcoming Australia season and World Cruise.”
