Upcoming Sun Princess cruise ship to have largest casino in the fleet

Sun Princess, the largest cruise ship ever built for Princess Cruises will also feature the largest casino in the cruise line’s fleet.

The 4,300-guest Sun Princess will feature a Princess Casino with 50% more space and 30% more machines than the line’s Royal Class ships, currently the largest it operates.

Located on deck 8 adjacent to the bustling Piazza, the Princess Casino offers high ceilings and a spacious floorplan for world-class gaming comfort and entertainment, according to the cruise line.

There will even be several gaming positions infused into in the Piazza, giving guests even easier and faster access to their favourite betting games.

With over 200 of the newest and most popular slots and video poker games, the Princess Casino will feature live table games offering progressive jackpots, as well as a variety of other games Princess players have come to enjoy. 

Included in the expanded casino will be a first-of-its-kind “Buffalo Zone” at sea – bringing these popular games by Aristocrat to the newest ship in the fleet.

“Casino lovers, high rollers or simply those wanting to try a hand during their vacation will be stunned by the new Princess Casino onboard Sun Princess,” said John Padgett, President of Princess Cruises. 

“Princess has embraced the casino experience and is proud to offer such exciting gaming surrounded by absolutely world-class dining and entertainment,” he added.
