Princess Cruises Sphere Class Ships Top Condé Nast Traveler Awards
The Sun Princess and Star Princess have secured the top spot as the world's best mega cruise ships in the 2026 Condé Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Awards. This achievement marks the third consecutive year the Sun Princess has claimed the title, while the Star Princess earned the honor during its inaugural year.
Marie Lee, Chief Marketing Officer at Princess Cruises, attributed the consistent recognition to the dedication of the crew and the intentional design of the new fleet. Beyond the structural innovations, the ships have introduced high-end culinary partnerships including Love by Britto and Makoto Ocean, alongside the exclusive Sanctuary Collection. The award follows the Star Princess’ earlier inclusion on the publication’s 2026 Hot List, signaling a strong market reception for the newest additions to the Princess fleet.
