Fleetwide Plans for The Sanctury on Princess Liners

After an extremely postive response from cruise passengers, Princess Cruises have decided to add The Sanctury on all its ships. From summer 2008 the relaxing retreat will be added to Island Princess, Star Princess and Grand Princess by the end of the year – with all additional ships updated by 2010.

The Sanctury made its debut in 2006 onboard Crown Princess and was an immediate success – giving cruisers a place to take a break and indulge in a spa-inspired setting with massage cabanas, light meals, excellent service and relaxing entertainment. Guests can relax on plush outdoor furniture, with double loungers for couples as well as deluxe chaise loungers.

"The Sanctuary has come to personify Princess' essential philosophy of escape coupled with personal service," said Jan Swartz, Princess senior vice president. "Passengers have told us they love this opportunity to completely relax in such a peaceful and pampering environment, so we're delighted to introduce this special Princess feature on all our vessels."

Other highlights of The Sanctury include private cabanas, Lotus Spa servies, the attendance of Serenity Stewards – providing beverages, ice waters, smoothies and snakes – as well as an extensive menu with light snacks such as fruit skewers and lettuce wrapped spring rolls.
