Sky Princess® Cruise Ship

Taking sea travel to new heights..

• Christener: Captain Kay Hire and Poppy Northcutt
• Guest Cabins: 1,830
• Number of Decks: 19
• Tonnage: 141,000
• Length: 1,083 feet

Reach for the Sky

On December 7, 2019, Princess Cruises honored two pioneering women of the U.S. Space Program: Captain Kay Hire, and engineer Poppy Northcutt, who served as the godmothers, and officially named Sky Princess. Captain Hire began her 30-year NASA career as a mechanical systems engineer, helping to launch more than 40 space missions. Then, as an astronaut, she logged 700 hours in space, flew over 12 million miles, and orbited the earth 475 times. Poppy Northcutt served as the first female mission control engineer when NASA made history with its mission to the moon. When the crew of Apollo 13 became stranded in their service module, it was her team’s calculations that brought them home safely – a feat of heroism that earned the entire mission operations a Presidential Medal of Freedom Team Award.

We will be on Discovery Princess from February 16 to March 18 - B2B2B2B2B. Looking forward to YogaSix and StretchLab. Looks like TRX won't be offered.

You know, I am really pro having physical exercise options available to anyone that would enjoy it on a ship.

It's just the skeptical side of me that there will always be an upsell to all of this in addition to having to pay extra for the packages.

I really miss seeing everyone walking around the Promenade decks when they had them. Now they design ships so you can't even take a walk on sea days.

Love Pure Barre!  Easy and low impact. 

Has anyone seen the ala carte pricing?

No, but Yoga classes in the past were $15 plus 18%  you can probably gauge prices by that.

I have the new Plus Package on an upcoming cruise. At the bottom of the Onboard Services page on my Personalizer it lists Fitness Classes (2 classes) at $39.35.

$39.35 Each or $39.35 total for both?

Although the standard gratuity would be included for you, do you know if that 18% is additional or is included in the $39.95?

2 fitness classes per voyage isn't really going to keep anybody in shape.  I just hope they don't do away with the few complimentary classes they now have.  I enjoy the stretch and abs classes they offer in the mornings.  

This press release is the first time I’ve seen a limit of 2 on juices/smoothies.  Bad enough they’re 5 ounces.  Now I see I’m entitled to no more than 2 for free.

I'll know for sure on February 20. In the meantime I could try a trial membership.

Maybe they would honor that while on board.

And, don't miss out on the zumba and line dancing classes put on by the cruise staff. They were great on the Royal. 

I find the juxtaposition of the heralding of the Fitness Classes and the Unlimited Desserts offered under the Premier Plan to be priceless.  And in all honesty, how many people are going to want/need more than two of those concoctions every day?  Or any day?  They act as if this is a big "give" when in fact, the number of people who will be ordering 3 or 4 or 5 Special Desserts per day can be counted on one hand.  And if it is a 10-14 day cruise, even those people might not survive to see disembarkation.

If you are traveling with someone who won’t use the fitness classes, can you use them?

I am on Caribbean Princess.   No free classes or Zumba.   Zumba has been replaced with a free fitness dance class outside on the deck.

4 hours ago, Prost Seattle said: If you are traveling with someone who won’t use the fitness classes, can you use them?

I tried that on the Discovery Princess last month. The instructor said no. The class wasn't worth lying about who I was.

Swap medallions?

Fitness classes have you sign in. They don't use medallions.

Princess cruise fitness classes in 2023 + fitness center on Princess cruise ships

Princess cruise ships have fitness centers that are free to use.

Cardio machines that are on Princess cruise ships include treadmills, elliptical machines, stationary bikes, and a rowing machine.

You can do your cardio with a view of the ocean!

There are also free weights and weight machines on Princess cruise ships.

There are also some Princess cruise ships that you can walk a loop, or almost a loop, around the outer area of the cruise ship.

Princess cruise ships I’ve been on where you can do this are the Sapphire Princess, Grand Princess, and Diamond Princess.

On these ships, you can walk outside on deck 7 (promenade deck), and do a loop around much of the cruise ship.

Once you get to the front of the ship, you will take stairs up to deck 8 to walk around the front of the ship.

I have also been on the Majestic Princess and it was not possible to make a loop around the cruise ship.

But you can still walk around the cruise ship! It just won’t be any formal loop.

In addition to the free fitness facilities, there are paid fitness classes.

If you get the Princess plus package or Princess premium package, there are free fitness classes included with your package.

With the Princess plus package, you get 2 free fitness classes.

With the Princess premium package, you can do as many fitness classes for free as you want.

More group fitness activities on a Princess cruise ship

In addition to the fitness classes offered by the fitness center, there may also be some other group fitness activities offered in other parts of the cruise ship.

For example, I was on a cruise ship where zumba was offered, and this was free to everyone on the cruise ship and took place on the open deck.

That zumba session was led by the cruise director, so it could also be dependent on if there’s anyone on your cruise ship who is qualified to teach zumba for example. That zumba was done by cruise director Sophie when I was on the Diamond Princess.

The entertainment team may also offer other types of group fitness activities.

This will vary by cruise ship, and the only way to know whether your cruise will offer these additional activities is to get on your cruise!

Then, you will check the Princess daily activity schedule that’s delivered to your cabin every evening or the “journeyview” of the Princess app.

There is no way to know ahead of time with certainty what specific fitness activities will be available on your cruise ship, but by looking at past daily activity schedules , you can see what might be available!

The “journey” or “journeyview” section of the Princess app might include the schedule of fitness classes on the cruise ship.

But in general, you shouldn’t expect that to be a completely updated schedule until your cruise actually starts.

More below about the fitness classes on Princess cruise ships!

What are the fitness classes on princess.

• Morning Stretch
• Pure Barre workout
• Tour de Cycle
• YogaSix Flow
• Pure Form Pilates
• TRX Suspension Training

The fitness classes you can do on a Princess cruise ship include Pure Barre, Tour de Cycle, YogaSix Flow, Pure Form Pilates, TRX Suspension Training, and morning stretch.

Here are what each of the classes are, as described by Princess.

1. Morning stretch

Introductory stretching class emphasizing postural imbalances and tight muscle groups.

2. Pure Barre workout

Experience a signature full body Pure Barre workout.

For 30 minutes, you will be guided through a series of low-impact, high intensity isometric movements designed to improve your flexibility while strengthening and toning your body.

3. Tour de Cycle

Spin your way through the Alps and countryside on this scenic workout that stimulates a Tour de France ride.

4. YogaSix Flow

Enjoy an energizing empowering and fun 30 minute YogaSix sample class that will create space in the body, warm the muscles, and open the mind.

5. Pure Form Pilates

By focusing on your core muscles, this exercise system combines posture and controlled moves to tone and strengthen.

The class is mat-based and good for all experience levels.

6. TRX Suspension Training

Suspension training tightens your core and enables you to perform hundreds of exercises that build power, strength, flexiblity, balance, and mobility, while helping to prevent injuries, all at the intensity you choose.

Cost of fitness classes on Princess cruises

• Tour de Cycle is $20 per class
• TRX Suspension Training is $20 per class
• Pure Form Pilates is $20 per class
• Pure Barre is $30 per class
• YogaSix is $30 per class

This was the cost of fitness classes on my recent Princess cruise if you are paying for classes individually. I was on the Grand Princess in September 2023. Your cruise ship may vary!

On the cruise where I saw the list of fitness class prices, there was no morning stretch class offered.

But on the following cruise that I was on, there was a morning stretch class offered every morning.

When I went to the fitness center on the first day of the cruise, the morning stretch class was listed as a “charged class” although no cost was given for any of the classes.

But I would expect the morning stretch class to also be around $20.

What is the fitness class schedule?

If you are interested in doing fitness classes during your Princess cruise, the best thing to do is to go to the fitness center when you get on the cruise ship on the first day of the cruise.

Make the fitness center one of your first stops on embarkation day !

There may also be a fitness center staff person there so you can learn about the fitness classes offered during the cruise.

There will also likely be a sign up sheet for the fitness classes.

Even if you get free fitness classes, you will want to sign up for them.

To give you an idea of when the fitness classes may be offered on sea days and port days, below was the fitness class schedule on my recent 7-day Princess cruise, as seen on journeyview of the Princess app.

Once again, your cruise ship may vary.

Day 1 (embarkation day)

No fitness classes on the first day of the cruise , but go to the fitness center to see the fitness class schedule during your cruise!

Day 2 (glacier sea day turned full sea day)

Originally there was going to be glacier scenic cruising from 3pm to 8pm to see Hubbard Glacier, but then Hubbard Glacier was canceled so it turned into a regular sea day.

The glacier day was canceled because there was a delay in leaving the cruise port on the first day of the cruise. It was delayed because of a delay of the Alaska Railroad train that was carrying people from the land portion of a Princess cruisetour .

Day 3 (glacier sea day)

The cruise ship was in Glacier Bay National Park from 9:15am to 7:30pm, during which most of the day the only activities offered were related to Glacier Bay.

Day 4 (port day)

The cruise ship was in port from 6am to 8:15pm, in Skagway cruise port .

Day 5 (port day)

The cruise ship was in port from 6:30am to 3:30pm, in Juneau cruise port .

Day 6 (port day)

The cruise ship was in port from 10am to 5:30pm, in Ketchikan cruise port .

Day 7 (sea day)

It was a sea day!

And that’s a bit about fitness classes onboard Princess cruise ships!

Happy doing fitness classes on a cruise ship.

I Tried the NEW Xponential Fitness Classes on Princess: Find out what I Thought!

by Prof. Cruise · February 28, 2023

Introduction

Many people would rather stab themselves in the eye with a hot poker than exercise in regular life and most wouldn’t exercise on a cruise ship unless it involved a Victorian-style four poster canopy bed in the Captain’s quarters (I can’t be the only one with that fantasy). However, some (weirdos) enjoy keeping up with their fitness routine on vacation and some, like me, use an hour at the gym as justification for the 60,000 calories they eat each day on a cruise.

So on my last cruise aboard the Discovery, I was curious to try the new fitness classes being offered by Princess as part of a new partnership with Xponential Fitness , a global franchisor of boutique fitness brands. The first three classes were launched on February 20th, 2023 and are described by Princess as follows:

• Pure Barre : a full-body workout focused on low-impact, moderate to high-intensity movements that improve strength and flexibility. • YogaSix : a full sensory yoga experience accessible to all, with a variety of classes targeting strength, agility, flexibility and balance. • StretchLab is a unique wellness concept offering assisted stretching sessions with customized flexibility services.

Here was my experience with them…

Cost: $30 (two complimentary fitness classes are included with Princess Plus and unlimited fitness classes are included with Princess Premier) Class Length: 30 Minutes Times Offered: Specific times will vary depending on ship and itinerary, but classes generally take place between 7-10am and 5-7pm. On my 5-day sailing on the Discovery Princess, there were 6 Pure Barre classes offered (either 1 or 2 classes each day).

Class Description : This workout, synchronized to music, combined elements of ballet, yoga, and pilates. It was low impact, but high intensity and targeted all the major muscle groups in a short period of time. We used a mat to work glutes and core, 2 lb weights to target arms, and a barre (think ballet, not adult beverages) to work legs. We were also provided with round resistance bands for stretching. Movements were small and repetitive and resulted in some serious burning. There were no breaks between exercises, with continuous movement for the full 30 minutes.

What I loved about Xponential Fitness’s Pure Barre class on Princess : This was a very efficient way to get a decent low resistance, full-body workout. The time went by fast (always a plus when it comes to exercise) and I enjoyed the music and instruction. The movements were easy to follow and the instructor made sure everyone’s alignment was correct, making adjustments when necessary.

What I didn’t love about Xponential Fitness’s Pure Barre class on Princess : The 2 lb weights provided were too light for me and I felt like the arm section wasn’t effective. A variety of different weight options would have been appreciated. I also thought 30 minutes was a bit too short, especially for the cost. Most non-cruise ship Pure Barre classes are 50 minutes.

Would I take a Pure Barre class again? Yes! In fact I did. I enjoyed this class so much, I signed up for a second session later in my cruise. I also wanted to see if the same series of movements was repeated (they were) or if each session was different. I would recommend this class if you’re looking for a quick, but effective workout, so you can spend more of your cruise doing what you’re supposed to be doing: eating and drinking and relaxing. However, I didn’t consider this class a very good value at the à la carte price. Most other cruise ship fitness classes are 45 minutes and closer to $20. That said, many guests on Princess will receive fitness classes as part of their cruise package (2 free classes are included with Princess Plus and unlimited classes with Princess Premier).

Thumbs up or down? Thumbs… up!

Cost: $30 (two complimentary fitness classes are included with Princess Plus and unlimited fitness classes are included with Princess Premier) Class Length: 30 Minutes Times Offered: Specific times will vary depending on ship and itinerary, but fitness classes generally take place between 7-10am and 5-7pm. On my 5-day sailing on the Discovery Princess, there were 4 YogaSix classes offered and they all took place from 9-9:30am.

Class Description : This 30 minute full-body Vinyasa yoga practice set to calming music featured popular flow sequences and poses. Participants included both newbies and experienced yogis. A mat and block were provided and the instructor offered breathing cues and pose adjustments.

What I loved about Xponential Fitness’s YogaSix class on Princess : It was yoga. And I love yoga (I don’t consider it exercise)!

What I didn’t love about Xponential Fitness’s YogaSix class on Princess : This was a short, basic yoga class and while I enjoyed it, it wasn’t comparable to what I’ve experienced in land-based classes taught by experienced yogis. Plus, most non-cruise ship yoga classes are 45-60 minutes. One other thing to note: balancing on a cruise ship, especially on rough sea days, ranges from challenging to near impossible. I looked like Bambie on ice. Only full-grown, not adorable, and possibly drunk.

Would I take a YogaSix class again? I would. Although less enthusiastically than the barre class, only because I do yoga on land and it’s so much better by comparison. I would recommend this class as a gentle introduction to yoga for newbies and a “better than nothing” experience for more advanced yogis. Like with the barre class, I didn’t consider YogaSix a very good value at the à la carte price. However, many guests on Princess will receive fitness classes as part of their cruise package (2 free classes are included with Princess Plus and unlimited classes with Princess Premier).

Thumbs up or down? Thumbs…up (but without the boldface and exclamation mark).

Cost: $30 (two complimentary fitness classes are included with Princess Plus and unlimited fitness classes are included with Princess Premier) Class Length: 25 Minutes Times Offered: There will be a sign-up sheet with 25 minute blocks. Sign up on the first day of your cruise as slots are likely to fill up.

Class Description : Unlike the other fitness classes, StretchLab is a one-on-one session with a trainer who will provide a customized stretch routine based on your individual needs. A massage table, stretch straps, and foam rollers were provided.

What I loved about Xponential Fitness’s StretchLab class on Princess : This private stretch session was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced on a cruise ship, which was the thing I loved most about it. It also left me feeling great, with some new stretching techniques to use at home.

What I didn’t love about Xponential Fitness’s StretchLab class on Princess : 25 minutes was too short. Five hours would have been more appropriate (it felt so good…more like a spa treatment than a fitness class).

Would I take a StretchLab class again? Yes! This was my favorite of the new Princess Xponential fitness classes and felt like the best value ($30 for a private session).

Thumbs up or down? Thumbs… UP! (all caps, boldface, AND exclamation mark)

Final Thoughts

If you’re interested in trying one of the new classes, be sure to stop by the fitness center on embarkation day to see the schedule and sign up. You MUST sign up in person for every class and some classes WILL fill up, so do it early. While I don’t feel comfortable enthusiastically endorsing any form of exercise, I appreciate the new offerings by Princess and look forward (I guess) to trying the others coming soon (ahead of the summer season – exact dates haven’t been released yet):

• Club Pilates : a low-impact, full-body Reformer Pilates workout with a variety of classes that build strength, mobility and stability. • CycleBar : an inclusive, immersive and inspiring low-impact, high-intensity indoor cycling experience for all ages and body types. • STRIDE Fitness : a treadmill-based interval training concept, delivering a total body cardio and strength workout.

And with that…

Class Dismissed!

Thank for this review! I exercise while on vacation and have the two free classes also. I want to take the stretch lab class based off your review.

I hope you enjoy it! Be sure to sign up early – times will go fast.

I am on an upcoming Princess cruise with the premier package so I get unlimited classes. Anyone know if I still need to sign up for each class or do I just show up?

Yes, you will still need to sign up for the individual classes you want to take. Be sure to do this early, as the popular ones do fill up.

Cunard added a 4th luxury cruise ship to its famous fleet — see what it'll be like on the new Queen Anne

• Cunard  welcomed its fourth ship and newest in 14 years, the 2,996-guest Queen Anne.
• The 114,000-ton vessel has amenities like an Indian restaurant and pool under a retractable glass roof.
• Queen Anne's 2024 itineraries, primarily in Europe, start at $300 per person for a two-night cruise.

Cunard has operated 249 ships throughout its 184 years in operation, including the famous Queen Mary and Queen Mary 2. But it's been 14 years since the cruise line has launched a new vessel — until now.

Luxury cruisers , meet Queen Anne. It's Cunard's latest 2,996-guest ship, replete with 4,300 art pieces, archery, and the company's signature high-end flair. Its arrival was so highly anticipated that every cabin on its May 3 maiden voyage was fully reserved in minutes, the BBC reported.

The Carnival Corp. brand may be storied, but that doesn’t mean it’s past its prime.

Katie McAlister, president of Cunard, recently told the BBC that its bookings have grown 25% since the beginning of 2024 and are now the best they've been in a decade.

So it should come as no surprise that several of Queen Anne's 2024 itineraries are almost sold out.

Cunard isn’t in the business of building bigger.

Luxury cruise lines are beloved for their small-ship experience. Cunard is no different.

The new 114,000-ton cruise liner is the company's second-largest, although it can carry more guests than any of its other ships.

However, at a 2,996-guest and 1,225-crew capacity, Queen Anne is still tiny compared to the mass-market cruise industry's newest ships , the largest of which can carry 10,000 people.

Queen Anne's cabins are divided into four categories, listed from most to least luxurious: Queens Grill, Princess Grill, Britannia Club, and Britannia.

Despite being the cheapest option, the Britannia accommodations have high-end amenities like sparkling wine, Penhaligon toiletries, and tea and coffee machines.

That's nothing compared to the most luxurious Queens Grill suites, where guests get amenities like pillow menus, stocked mini-bars, a butler, fruit, and pre-dinner canapes.

Forget the sparkling wine — Queens Grill travelers get a bottle of Champagne.

Cabin categories are especially important for Cunard, not for reasons you might expect.

Besides how luxurious your hotel room at sea is, your cabin influences where you have breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Guests in the Princess Grill suites dine at the Princess Grill restaurant, while Britannia Club guests stick to the Britannia Club restaurant, and so on.

Guests in the higher-end Princess and Queens cabins also get a pretty sweet bonus: an exclusive lounge with infinity hot tubs.

Regardless of your cabin, the 14-deck ship has plenty of areas for all guests to relax under the sun.

For example, the Pavilion. It's one of Queen Anne's go-to places for an afternoon swim, nighttime movie viewing, silent disco, and not-so-silent live music, all under a retractable glass roof.

The ship's pool club also has plenty of lounge seats for a more traditional pool deck experience. For something indoors, head to the drawing and game rooms instead.

Like every new cruise ship, Queen Anne has a pickleball court.

But unlike every new cruise ship, it also has archery — coaches, bows, and arrows included.

Travelers looking for a less intense afternoon can instead try their hand at the putting green, shuffleboard, or quoits.

Not confident in your athletic abilities? Don't worry — there's a bar nearby, too.

If you lose your pickleball match, you can retail therapy your pain away at Queen Anne’s high-end stores.

Travelers have been splurging big on their cruise vacations . On Queen Anne (and with help from one of the ship's personal shoppers), this could include a Bremont watch or Chanel makeup.

Or, do as cruisers do: Eat and drink the pain away.

The ship has 15 eateries. Unfortunately, you'll have to pay extra for the Mediterranean, Indian, Japanese, steakhouse grill, alfresco, and British restaurants.

Thankfully, the food hall-style buffet, room service, and cabin-assigned dining rooms are included in the fare.

Feeling peckish in the afternoon? Afternoon tea is held in the Queens Room, the same venue that hosts events like ballroom dancing and Cunard's signature black-tie galas.

Of course, a cruise wouldn’t be complete without a casino, spa, and nighttime shows.

Queen Anne is showing two new productions, including an adaptation of the classic British film "Brief Encounter."

For more casual entertainment, the ship also has a "show bar" helmed by a variety of musicians and entertainers.

For a more relaxing afternoon, try the spa's cryotherapy, "experience showers," and salt saunas.

Afterwards, to keep the wellness trend going, grab a healthy bite at the veggie and "sustainably sourced protein"-forward Wellness Cafe. Its kombucha bellinis are technically good for you, right?

Cunard is beloved for its regular transatlantic cruises on its Queen Mary 2 ocean liner.

In 2025, Queen Anne will embark on its first three-month around-the-world cruise. However, for the most part, it's not scheduled for repeat long-haul journeys .

Instead, in 2024, the ship will be homeported in Southampton, UK and travel on two- to 19-night itineraries across Europe.

The cheapest way to experience the new ship is a two-night summer cruise from Southampton to Hamburg, Germany, which currently starts at $300 per person.

But if money is no problem, the 18-night roundtrip Hamburg cruise during Christmas and the New Year might pique your interest — and your wallet. The itinerary's luxurious Queens Grill suites start at $19,350 per person.
