Introduced on Crown Princess in 2006, the Sanctuary has become a passenger favorite and is now a signature feature on our ships.
The Sanctuary experience is really very special – The plush lounge chairs are comfortable and relaxing.
And of course the service is excellent.
So the challenge on Royal Princess is…How can we make the Sanctuary even better?
I wanted to enhance the Sanctuary with a new contemporary and elegant design,
placing emphasis on the quest for privacy while creating a sense of intimacy and simplicity.
I was aiming to create a magical setting. A secret garden. A romantic hideaway.
The entrance lobby immediately establishes an impressive structure and an air of mystery as one enters the space. From the entrance, as you move towards the central core of the Sanctuary, strategically placed rock gardens featuring special topiary planting with atmoshpheric lighting, create an inviting path leading through the plush lounge seating with fantastic ocean views to the VIP cabanas and a new central pavilion.
The four new Sanctuary Cabanas available on Royal Princess
offer an even more exclusive and special experience with delightful amenities including a personal television, cushy sofas, a picnic basket of refreshments, and even a bottle of champagne.
Also available are two new, luxurious Spa Cabanas for a truly special alfresco massage experience.
These larger enclosed areas will offer added privacy, a comfortable resting area with a television and plush chairs,
and in the treatment area…two tables for a refreshing couples massage, and beautiful ocean views looking out over the the front of the ship.
The new Retreat Pool – as the name implies
will offer an exclusive area for adults to relax and rejuvenate, and is the perfect complement to the Sanctuary.
While we have pools on our other ships that are exclusive to adults, the Retreat Pool on Royal Princess will offer more space, more seating, and new Retreat Cabanas that can be reserved for an enhanced experience
with optional picnic baskets featuring an assortment of delicious items including fresh focaccia sandwiches, cookies and a bottle of wine, all served by your own dedicated steward.
