Princess unveils details of Park19

Princess Cruises has unveiled a new family activity area that will debut on Sun Princess.

Park19 features nine activities including hang gliding, climbing and an obstacle course. The area will be located on decks 19, 20 and 21.

“Park19, as the name suggests, is a new space created for all our guests, including activities to bring together multi-generational travel families in a location with spectacular views and fun outdoor activities for all,” said John Padgett, Princess Cruises president. “The new area was tailored based on guest feedback for more family and group activities spaces.”

Sun Princess, Princess Cruises’ first Sphere-class ship, will launch in February 2024.

Activities, include:

Sea Breeze – the first Rollglider on a cruise ship. Guests are seated and harnessed to this electric ride which reaches speeds of up to 11 mph during the 60- to 90-second experience.

Coastal Climb – guests ascend from decks 19 to 20 through a series of obstacles.

The Lookout – at the top of the climbing structure, guests make their way to The Lookout open-air observation deck to take in 360º views from the highest point available to guests onboard Sun Princess.

The Net – above deck 19, guests are challenged to trek across unstable bridges, a z-shaped balance beam and climb cargo nets.

Infinite Horizon – For those who love heights, leaning tilt walls cantilevered over the side of the ship allow guests to peer out from deck 19 and look down to deck nine and beyond.

Hammock Area – Another first for Princess, relaxing hammocks allow Park19 visitors to take a break from exploring to hang out with family and friends.

Splash Zone – A splash area with pop jets and a water sculpture offer a refreshing and relaxing area to chill.

Recreational Court – From ping pong, shuffleboard, Xponential Fitness classes and morning meditation, a rotation of sports and wellness options will be offered to guests in this multifunction sports court.

Jogging Track – A refreshing open-air track allows guests to walk, jog or run at their own leisure and pace, with 6.7 times around the track equaling one mile.

“These expanded offerings give younger cruisers plenty to explore and enjoy aboard Sun Princess, creating an even more family-friendly experience with something for everyone regardless of age,” Padgett added.
