Princess Cruise Lines have announced more information about their new Park19 space aboard the new Sun Princess. Set to debut in February 2024, this innovative Sphere Class vessel is bringing nine engaging and inclusive activities for the whole family to enjoy. Located on the top decks, Park19 offers a newly designed space where fun and sun collide for all generations.
“Park19 is all about creating a space that caters to all our guests, with activities that bring multi-generational families together. It’s a location with incredible views and thrilling outdoor adventures,” said John Padgett, President of Princess Cruises. “We designed this area based on feedback from our guests who wanted more family-friendly and group activity spaces.”
Spread across decks 19, 20, and 21, Park19 is the ultimate playground for active guests and multi-generational families. Here’s what you can expect to find:
1. Sea Breeze – Soar high above the ship with the first Rollglider on a cruise ship. Experience the thrill of hang gliding in a safe environment and marvel at breathtaking ocean views and stunning ports of call. This electric ride reaches speeds of up to 11 mph and is ADA accessible.
2. Coastal Climb – Ascend from decks 19 to 20 on this engaging climbing structure. Conquer obstacles along the way and enjoy gorgeous views before sliding back down.
3. The Lookout – Reach the top of the climbing structure and find yourself on The Lookout, an open-air observation deck offering breathtaking 360º views. It’s the highest point available to guests onboard the Sun Princess.
4. The Net – Challenge yourself with a trek across unstable bridges, navigate a z-shaped balance beam, and conquer cargo nets while harnessed above deck 19.
5. Infinite Horizon – For the thrill-seekers, lean over the side of the ship on leaning tilt walls that extend from deck 19. Get a unique perspective as you look down to deck nine and beyond.
6. Hammock Area – Unwind and relax in the first-ever hammock area on a Princess cruise ship. Take a break from exploring and enjoy quality time with your family and friends.
7. Splash Zone – Dive into the whimsical splash area filled with pop jets and a beautiful water sculpture. It’s the perfect spot to cool off and relax.
8. Recreational Court – Challenge your family and friends to a game of ping pong or shuffleboard. Join Xponential Fitness classes or enjoy a morning meditation session. The multifunction sports court offers a variety of sports and wellness options for guests.
9. Jogging Track – Embrace the open air on the refreshing jogging track. Walk, jog, or run at your own pace, with just 6.7 laps around the track equaling one mile.
