Cruise Ship Profiles

Grand Princess

The most significant transformation ever of a Princess Cruises ship occurred in 2011 aboard the Grand Princess.  During a 24-day makeover, several new features were added including a unique tea lounge and library called “Leaves”; and “Alfredo’s,” a full-service pizzeria showcasing this renowned Princess dish.

"Skywalkers" was removed from its 18^th deck perch, and replaced with the One5 Lounge, located on deck 15 (hence the name).  This change will significantly improve the operational performance of the ship, including greater fuel efficiency.
