Following a dry-dock stay in Singapore, Princess Cruises ' Crown Princess has set sail again, offering exciting new experiences for guests, including the addition of O'Malley's Irish pub and the renovated Gatsby's Casino. The 113,561-ton ship, with a capacity for 3,080 passengers, has also undergone a comprehensive refurbishment, the addition of the new EFFY Lounge, and the transformation of key spaces that reinforce the service for which Princess is known and appreciated.
O'Malley's Irish Pub
Princess's successful Irish pub concept offers classic, comforting pub fare, from juicy burgers and fish and chips to late-night snacks, accompanied by an extensive drinks selection with carefully curated beer and whiskey tastings. The venue seats 134 people, including 12 at the bar, creating a spacious and inviting atmosphere. Live music makes O'Malley's a lively meeting place where memories are made (formerly Wheelhouse Bar).
Gatsby's Casino
Guests can try their luck at traditional casino games—from blackjack and roulette to slot machines—at the newly renovated Gatsby's Casino. The new design enhances comfort and enjoyment, with a redesigned casino bar, updated gaming equipment including the latest slot machine themes, and a modernized cashier area.
EFFY Lounge and High Jewelry Chamber
This new space features pieces from the New York jewelry firm renowned for its craftsmanship and high-quality gems (formerly Internet Café).
“Every dry dock stay is an opportunity to elevate the guest experience, and the latest enhancements to Crown Princess reflect our ongoing commitment to evolving and modernizing our onboard offerings,” said Lorna Warren, Vice President of Hotel Operations and Guest Experience for Princess Cruises. “From the addition of beloved spaces like O’Malley’s Irish Pub to the casino renovation, these enhancements ensure Crown Princess is perfectly positioned to deliver an unforgettable season as she sails around Australia and on her upcoming World Voyage.”.
Following its refurbishment, Crown Princess will arrive in Sydney on January 4, 2026, for a series of cruises around Australia until May 2026. On May 10, 2026, it will depart from Sydney on a 114-day round-the-world voyage, departing from and returning to the same port.
