/PRNewswire/ -- Iconic performances and world-class experiences
headline a show-stopping array of incredible entertainment awaiting
guests across the sensational new Sun Princess, the largest-ever

Today the cruise brand announced four exceptional production

of technological innovation in the world of cruise ship
entertainment, the configurable Princess Arena supports shows in
the round, in a 270-degree keyhole configuration, as well as via a
traditional proscenium theater.
"The Princess Arena is an engineering marvel that allows us to
create awe-inspiring entertainment, offering our guests a

captivating lighting design, and immersive surround-sound, will
deliver show-stopping spectacles on every voyage."
Headlining the entertainment line-up are three completely new
productions, showcasing the tremendous talents of the Sun Princess
troupe with four lead vocalists, 13 top dancers and eight Dome
Cirque artists in various performances, including:

PRINCESS FAVORITE REIMAGINED! Fiera! – Love
blossoms at a turn-of-the-last-century colorful European fairground
in a story revealed through an artfully selected medley of popular
songs such as Guns & Roses' "Sweet Child of Mine," and Lady
Gaga's "Born This Way." Directed by famed choreographer
Danny Teeson, a large, brilliantly
costumed cast of performers brings the story to life, dancing on a
vibrant set with a spectacular digital backdrop.
Entertainment extends throughout the ship including two
additional prominent venues– the Piazza and The Dome – an iconic
new venue at the top forward portion of the ship.
The Dome
The mesmerizing artistry of one of the
entertainment industry's biggest names, the renowned Cirque Éloize,
will be on full display in The Dome, a remarkable multi-level
entertainment venue perched atop the ship.
Three specially-created and captivating shows - "Blue," "Come
Fly Away," and "Artbeat" - will transport guests into a world of
emotion, color, and music, featuring awe-inspiring acts such as
aerial hoops, aerial poles, bungees, Cyr wheel, silks, mind-bending
contortions, and more.
Inspired by the enchanting terraces of Santorini, The Dome is a
pioneering glass-enclosed structure, the first of its kind ever
constructed on a cruise ship. By day, it transforms into an
indoor/outdoor oasis with a sparkling pool, while at night, it
evolves into an electrifying entertainment venue with a South Beach
vibe.
Piazza
The heartbeat of the ship, the Piazza on Sun
Princess reflects an exciting evolution, surrounded by a
multi-tiered sphere of glass offering expansive views as well as a
wide selection of entertainment every voyage. Here guests can
continue to enjoy beloved musical acts and performances, as well as
favorite game shows and an elevated Champagne Waterfall event.
As with all Princess voyages, Sun Princess guests will be
greeted with a NEW Sailaway Party, NEW night-time
Welcome Show, a NEW Themed Deck Party, NEW Game Shows and a
memorable NEW Farewell Show and Light
Spectacle.
Guests sailing Sun Princess also can enjoy Spellbound by
Magic Castle, a collaboration with the famed Hollywood icon. The extraordinary experience
blends the captivating world of magic with the art of mixology and
features incredible feats of magic from talented magicians,
surprises in themed rooms and theatrical cocktails delivered by
sleight-of-hand servers.
Debuting in February 2024, Sun
Princess is currently under construction at the Fincantieri
shipyard in Italy. The
175,500-ton, 4,300-guest Sun Princess will also offer an array of
exciting new culinary offerings, as well as luxurious staterooms
and suites across a broad spectrum of categories. With the
