The Choice is Always Yours on Dawn Princess

At “birth,” the Dawn Princess was christened by the original cast of The Love Boat, leaving a romantic legacy for this elegant ship. There’s a ton to do; take the kids or grandkids on an extended voyage, or just get away from it all with your significant other. Enjoy a hydrotherapy soak with your massage at the Lotus Spa, then be entertained and educated by the art collection.

Kids and teens will have their own fun on the Dawn Princess with pizza parties, arts and crafts, games, and kids’ clubs. While the little ones are at play, you can escape to the adults-only, outdoor oasis The Sanctuary. Later, have fun and munch on fresh popcorn with the whole family on the top deck during Movies Under the Stars.

You’ll be wowed by dining aboard the Dawn Princess; from four-course meals served on your private balcony, to afternoon tea, to specialty restaurants.
