The Regal Princess is a Royal-class ship operated by Princess Cruises that entered service in 2014. It accommodates 3,560 guests at double occupancy (lower berths) and has 19 decks.

Construction and specifications

Fincantieri Cantieri Navali Italiani built the ship in Monfalcone, Italy. The Regal Princess is 330 meters long, and its hull is 38.4 meters wide, excluding the SeaWalk, whose cantilevered structure increases the overall width to 47.2 meters. Princess Cruises lists the ship’s gross tonnage as 142,229 GT. The cruise line lists 3,560 guests, 1,346 crew members, 19 decks and a service speed of 22 knots. The ship sails under the flag of Bermuda, with Hamilton as its port of registry. The onboard currency is generally the US dollar; the Australian dollar is used on selected Australian itineraries.

Life on board

Three main dining rooms—Allegro, Symphony and Concerto—make up the formal dining options. Other venues include Crown Grill, Sabatini’s Italian Trattoria, International Café and Horizon Court. The four pools include two on the uppermost deck, the Retreat Pool and the Terrace Pool; eight hot tubs round out the amenities. The SeaWalk is a glass walkway that extends out over the side of the ship.

Itineraries and cruise experience

In the published summer 2026 schedule, Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades) was the seasonal home port for the Regal Princess’s Caribbean cruises. Depending on the departure date, the seven-day Eastern Caribbean itineraries called at Princess Cays, Amber Cove and Grand Turk, or Princess Cays, San Juan and St. Thomas; Western Caribbean sailings included destinations such as Cozumel, Belize City and Roatán. Eight-day Southern Caribbean cruises and combined 14-day sailings were also planned. For the eight-day cruise to the ABC Islands departing on April 3, 2026, Princess announced longer stays (“More Ashore”) in Aruba and Curaçao. These itinerary examples show the contrast between a week with several island stops and longer cruises covering a broader region; port calls vary by departure date.
