The stage is set for something new! When Star Princess makes its debut on October 4, Princess Cruises will introduce a next-generation entertainment program featuring original theater shows, candlelit concerts, and performances by a 24-country cast. Entertainment will span the ship, from large-scale productions in the high-tech Princess Arena to live music in The Dome and surprise 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 Vice President Hotel Operations and Guest Experience. “Star Princess was designed to surprise, move, and inspire each and every night.” RELATED: Princess Cruises Wins 16 Wine Spectator Awards for 2025 Entertainment Highlights The Princess Arena: NEW!
