With 1,008 cabins, Sea Princess offers many interior cabins, which are functional and delicately designed with pieces that accentuate comfortable intimacy.

Generous shelving and closet space is available to stow your luggage. Each cabin has a television, refrigerator, safe, mini-bar and a hair dryer. The bathroom is petite with a decent sized shower and additional shelving for smaller items and is is stocked with basic toiletries. There is 24-hour room service offering everything from hot drinks to salads and robes.
