Debuting on the newly built Sun Princess^®, Park19 may be the most family-friendly area on a Princess ship to-date. With nine different activities within this one section, there’s something for everyone to do. The competitive bunch can race to the top on the coastal climb, the view seekers can soar over the water on the hang gliding-inspired Rollerglider^®, and the relaxed relatives can simply sit back and soak up the sun in the breezy Hammock Area.

The Caribbean Princess’ Family Zone is fantastic for groups with small children. Home to an interactive water playground, your little ones will stay entertained for hours on end, simply hanging out in the splash pool, getting drenched by the water showers, and shrieking in glee when the giant whale sprays water from its fluke. To top it all off, the neighboring kid-friendly bar area – with cocktails and mocktails – is the perfect spot for parents to watch over the fun.

Even while in port, Princess Cruises offers family-friendly activities, more specifically their Discovery^TM and Animal Planet^TM shore excursions. In partnership with these “edutainment” networks, Princess Cruises boasts exclusive shore excursions that provide guests with all sorts of out-of-this-world experiences. Hang out with sloths in Costa Rica, swim with stingrays in the waters of the Caribbean, or helicopter over a massive glacier in Alaska, just to start.

Guests can enjoy an endless array of entertainment options while aboard their Princess cruise – from game shows and heist mystery challenges to live music and Broadway-caliber theater performances. On any given night, you’ll find a handful of entertaining performances spread throughout each ship’s incredible venues, so there’s sure to be something that suits everyone’s preferences. From there, you and your family have two options: divide and conquer based on the show that catches each person’s attention or get the whole gang together for an epic night to remember.

One of the best reasons to take a family Princess cruise is to celebrate together. Whether it’s for a birthday, graduation, or retirement celebration, it’s the greatest feeling to be surrounded by the people you love, especially when everyone has come together expressly for you. The fact that you’re all on an adventure of a lifetime is just the cherry on top!

Plus, Princess Cruises is all about making your celebrations a little extra special. From bubbly champagne toasts to decadent chocolate cakes, just wait and see what surprises Princess has in-store for your celebration!
