SINGAPORE, 28 April 2026: Princess Cruises’ Star Princess joins Condé Nast Traveler’s 2026 Hot List, a highly regarded annual selection now in its 30th edition.
The Condé Nast Traveler Hot List, curated by the publication’s editorial team, honours standout hotels, resorts, restaurants, and cruise ships that raise the bar for design, service, and sense of place within their first sailing year.
As Princess Cruises’ newest Sphere Class ship, Star Princess represents an evolution of the brand’s signature guest experience, blending modern design with inviting spaces intentionally crafted to connect guests more meaningfully with the world around them. The Hot List recognition coincides with preparations for her inaugural Alaska season, sailing from Seattle this May, making her the first Sphere Class ship to sail to Alaska.
Princess Cruises will sail its largest Alaska season ever in 2026 with the expanded programme featuring eight ships — 180 departures and visits to 19 destinations.
The 177,800‑ton Star Princess, with a 4,300 passenger capacity, commenced commercial sailings in October 2025 from Barcelona.
