The sixth Royal-Class cruise ship for Princess Cruises will truly discover the world.

Princess revealed the Discovery Princess, due in late 2021, will feature Mediterranean, Caribbean and South America itineraries before arriving in Los Angeles for her West Coast debut, sailing to Mexico and the California Coast.

Discovery Princess will be the first-ever new cruise ship for Princess Cruises to be based on the West Coast. The 3,660- passenger ship will evolve and add to the design features of cruise line’s previous Royal-Class ships.

“Discovery Princess will take our guests on the most memorable vacations of their lifetime introducing them to new sights, new cultures, and new experiences onboard every voyage,” said Jan Swartz, Princess Cruises president. “Discovery is both an expression of our brand as well as an important aspect of our guest experience. We know Discovery Princess will offer our guests cruise vacations that create memories they will cherish for a lifetime and we’re proud to mark a major milestone basing our newest ship on the West Coast.”

Cruise sales have opened for the debut 2011-2022 season, including 30 departures on 21 unique itineraries to more than 50 destinations in 23 countries, including several holiday sailings. Highlights include eight options in the Mediterranean and six in the Eastern and Southern Caribbean.
