Princess Cruises’ largest and most luxurious ship Sun Princess has arrived in the UK on her first journey outside of the Mediterranean.
Dubbed the ‘Next Level Love Boat’, she was officially welcomed to Southampton during an Inaugural Call Celebration this weekend, hosted by Sun Princess Captain Craig Street.
The stunning ship caters for 4,300 guests with a crew of 1,600 and will next set sail to Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
The cruiseliner is the first ship in the Princess fleet to be powered by liquified natural gas (LNG).

The luxury cruise ship is so large it stands out significantly against other ships on the water.
Eithne Williamson, VP Princess Cruises UK and Europe, said: ‘Sun Princess joined the Princess fleet earlier this year and her visit to Southampton marks the completion of her inaugural Mediterranean season.’
John Padgett, president of Princess Cruises, told the New York Post: ‘Princess Cruises became a household name as the setting and ocean-going co-star of ‘The Love Boat’ that featured over 950 celebrity guest stars.’
