MedallionClass Ships

Princess Cruises changed the cruising game forever a few years ago when they introduced OceanMedallion for guests. The wearable tech allowed for easier access for guests all over the ship. Some of the best perks of the Medallion are: 

  • Faster boarding 
  • Food and beverage orders to anywhere on the ship
  • Find your friends
  • Keyless room entry
  • Interactive games and information

Following the delivery of the ship from Fincantieri shipyard in Italy, cruise line President Jan Swartz explained the ship’s impact on the industry. 

“We wish to extend our sincere gratitude to our long-time shipbuilding partner Fincantieri who delivered Sky Princess to us today,” said Jan Swartz, president of Princess Cruises. “As our new flagship in the fleet, Sky Princess represents the absolute best Princess Cruises has to offer our guests by connecting them with what matters most, unique destinations, loved ones, and new friends, while enjoying all the state-of the-art experiences in comfort and style.”
