Majestic Princess

History and service

The Majestic Princess is operated by Princess Cruises. Fincantieri delivered the ship in 2017. The shipyard’s specifications provide a precise technical profile: 330 metres long, 38.4 metres wide and with a design draught of 8.4 metres. Its gross tonnage is 144,216 GT. The service speed is listed as 22 knots, with a maximum speed of 23 knots.

The cabin figures give a clearer picture of the ship’s layout: Fincantieri lists 1,028 balcony cabins and 342 interior cabins, as well as 374 mini-suites and 36 suites. The shipyard states that balcony cabins account for 81 percent of the total. Combined with the cruise line’s area figures, this makes it possible to distinguish between the size of individual categories and how numerous they are on board.

Voyages and itineraries

The regional guides to Asia, East Asia and Sydney offer additional information about regions and ports.

Fincantieri gives the maximum number of people on board as 5,600. This capacity figure should be distinguished from the number of cabins: according to Princess Cruises, selected cabins can have a third or fourth sleeping berth. The actual occupancy therefore depends on the cabin category and layout.

Cabins

Princess Cruises publishes approximate area figures that make it possible to compare the categories. Balcony cabins cover around 214 to 222 square feet, including the balcony. Oceanview cabins with a window or porthole offer approximately 146 to 206 square feet; their views may be partially or fully obstructed. Interior cabins are more compact, at around 158 to 162 square feet. For oceanview and balcony cabins, the actual view depends on the location and cabin number.

A mini-suite covers approximately 323 square feet, including the balcony, and has a separate seating area with a sofa bed. According to the cruise line, suites range from around 460 to 932 square feet, including the balcony. They have a separate seating area; depending on the amenities, Princess lists features such as two televisions. The area figures are approximate and include the balcony for the categories listed. Layouts and amenities vary, so the category alone does not determine every detail of a particular cabin.
