Popular Dining, Bar Venues To Be Expanded on Star Princess

Princess Cruises’ second Sphere Class ship, Star Princess, will feature two expansions of venues that have proven to be more popular than anticipated, including O’Malley’s Irish Pub and Love by Britto. It will also have new non-smoking casino areas.

“After the overwhelming response to Sun Princess, we are excited to debut her sister ship, Star Princess, with added enhancements to elevate the guest experience,” said John Padgett, Princess Cruises’ president. “From expanded non-smoking casino areas to new spaces for relaxation and recreation, Star Princess will deliver an unforgettable vacation for all when she launches in fall 2025.”

New highlights onboard Star Princess will include:

• Expanded non-smoking casino areas: Newly designed non-smoking sections of the casino will feature 68 slot machines.
• O’Malley’s Irish Pub expansion: With 32 more seats, the popular pub will be able to accommodate more guests looking to enjoy traditional Irish food, live music, and a selection of beers and whiskeys.
• Expanded Love by Britt: Princess will add 20 more seats to this intimate dining venue.
• New SkyDeck Sports Court & Track: The redesigned sports court on Star Princess will feature a court for pickleball and basketball, as well as a jogging track and splash pad for children.  

The 4,300-guest Star Princess will sail its inaugural season in the Caribbean in fall 2025 before repositioning to Alaska in spring 2026. It will be powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG).
