Princess Cruises has revealed the entertainment lineup for Star Princess, its newest Sphere-class ship, set to debut October 4. Highlights include two original theatrical spectacles, a stargazing candlelight concert series, and an ensemble of global performers from 24 countries tasked to bring every corner of the ship to life.
Entertainment aboard Star Princess will feature grand-scale productions in its most technically advanced theatre, atmospheric live music in The Dome, and vibrant pop-up performances in the glass-enclosed Piazza.
“We’re not just putting on shows; we’re crafting moments that will stay with guests long after the final curtain,” said Lorna Warren, Princess Cruises VP Hotel Operations and Guest Experience. “Star Princess was designed to surprise, move, and inspire each and every night.”
Here are some highlights of what to expect:
The Princess Arena: Where Stories Take Centre Stage
NEW! Meridian
Meridian is a sweeping, cinematic spectacle of longing and liberation, set to a lush original score and reimagined chart-toppers. The production is brought to life by BAFTA award-winning creative director Dan Shipton, electric choreography by Kieran Daley-Ward, and produced by Ross Nicholson. Against a backdrop of glittering masked balls and roaring engine rooms, the luminous collision of high society and hidden truths brings noblewoman Arabella Dovewood’s windswept destiny to life.
NEW! Illuminate: A Spectacle of Joy
Under the velvet canopy of a nostalgic circus tent, Illuminate peels away illusion to reveal wonder in the unexpected. Guided by a troupe of characters embodying the ringmaster’s many facets—charisma, control, cunning, and charm—audiences journey through breathtaking spectacles that bend reality. The show invites audiences into an immersive experience that shines a light on the extraordinary hidden within the everyday.
There’s a third production in the Princess Arena: Viva La Música returns from premiering on Sun Princess, choreographed by famed Latin American talent Liz Imperio, known for her work with Jennifer Lopez, Madonna, and Gloria Estefan. Featuring Latin soundtrack favorites like Camila Cabello’s “Havana” and Santana’s “Oye Como Va,” this high-energy celebration brings the irresistible rhythms of Latin America to the sea.
Entertainment on Star Princess reaches beyond the theatre. Guests can dance to live music, mingle at themed events, or simply soak in an atmosphere that truly comes alive after dark.
The Dome: Where Stories Soar
Your clients can step into a world of enchantment with the Princess Cruises Candlelight Concert Series — an extraordinary new experience that transforms the breathtaking glass-enclosed Dome atop Star Princess into a glowing haven of music and light.
Bathed in the warm glow of candlelight, this one-of-a-kind venue sets the stage for a journey through the beauty and emotion of classical music, reimagined for a new generation.
The Piazza: Your Stage, Your Moment
Princess Jamz is a 45-minute sound spectacular that showcases the talents of the 15-member Princess World Orchestra, led by the Cruise Director. Set in the heart of the ship, this dynamic live performance fills the Piazza with rich, vibrant music and unforgettable energy—inviting guests to sit back, soak it in, and enjoy every thrilling moment.
Celestial Champagne Soirée Debuts Aboard Star Princess
Also taking place in the Piazza, Princess Cruises invites guests to experience the all-new Celestial Champagne Soirée, an unforgettable multimedia celebration under the stars, premiering exclusively aboard Star Princess.
This enchanting evening event dazzles with immersive light, sound, and visual storytelling — all culminating in Princess’ iconic Champagne Waterfall, a tradition that continues to sparkle.
The 4,300-guest, 175,500-ton Star Princess will debut an inaugural season across the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Panama Canal, and Alaska. Voyages are on sale now.
