The Sapphire Princess took cruise ships to an entirely different level and not just due to their luxury cruise style and onboard activities. The Sapphire actually made waves over its unique power plant that propelled the ship. A diesel-electric, gas-turbine hybrid that was designed specifically to provide a cleaner-energy ship in the environments. The ship functions in remote parts of Alaska.

Amenities

Two large-scale swimming pools flank the ship. One encased in a conservatory-type glass roof for inclement weather while the other is a tiered pool located directly at the front of the ship overlooking the open seas.

While expansive in size, the ship manages to keep an intimate feel. It offers many semi-private areas for guests to get away from it all. Places such as the Wake View Bar and the Internet Cafe give the guest a hideaway from the bustling decks of the ship’s upper areas. Children also have their own sacred space with overly-equip playrooms with age-appropriate entertainment. Making the Sapphire a perfect choice for a family cruise.

Staterooms

California-inspired decor in the staterooms gives voyagers a calming place to unwind at the end of the day. Earth tones and light woods give a harmonious, tranquil ambiance to the private rooms in comparison to the brightly colored, boisterous public spaces. When combining with the ample square footage, the staterooms offer a luxury cruise feel to the Sapphire Princess.

If you are looking for luxury, family-friendly activities, and a touch of class, book a cruise aboard the Sapphire Princess.
