History
AI-generated

Sun Princess is the first ship of the Sphere class and the largest vessel in Princess Cruises' current fleet. Built by Fincantieri in Monfalcone, Italy, the ship is the first Princess vessel to be fueled by liquefied natural gas and features distinctive glass dome-like elements visible from the exterior. Hannah Waddingham, the Ted Lasso actress, served as godmother for the ship's naming ceremony and later performed the Love Boat theme song in an advertising campaign aboard the vessel.
