Ruby Princess redefines classic big ship experience for the 21st century; she's a fine mix of tradition and tremendous new features, at once both familar and fascinating for both novices and Princess 'regulars' alike.
You see it in the main Piazza Atrium, a shimmering confection of marble, brass and polished glass that descends through the middle of the ship. It's a spectacularly casual venue for some people watching over a frothy cappucino, or some lunchtime wine and tapas.
Ruby Princess allows you enough space and style to be as active or as indolent as you like, indoors or out. Enjoy a first run movie under the stars at the giant outdoor screen, complete with a blanket and hot popcorn, or an early morning soak in a bubbling hot tub before heading out ashore for the day.
Hungry? Grab anything from a bacon sandwich to some perfectly put together sashimi. And, with 24 hour room service on tap, you can eat whenever the mood takes you. Late night casino action and disco dancing has been known to sharpen appetities at the strangest times.
Suave, smart and stylish, Ruby Princess takes all the hard work out of getting around the world while you just enjoy yourself to the hilt on a ship that manages to combine cutting edge 'hip' with timeless hospitality. What's not to like?
