First impressions: the Dome and the Sphere
One of the ship's most impressive features of Sun Princess is the Dome, located on Deck 18 toward the front of the ship. This climate-controlled, glass-enclosed venue offers a breathtaking space with a pool that extends from the interior to the sun deck. By day, it’s a relaxing retreat, and by night, it transforms into a stage for acrobatic shows and live music performances. The versatile design even played host to an intimate vow renewal ceremony during our voyage, officiated by the captain himself.
