History
AI-generated

Royal Princess is the third ship to sail for Princess Cruises under that name and served as the company's flagship upon her delivery in 2013, making her the largest ship built for Princess at that time. As the lead vessel of the Royal class, she lends her name to the class of six ships. Among her notable features are cantilevered walkways called the SeaWalk extending over the port and starboard sides, and she was one of the first passenger ships built to comply with safe return to port requirements.
