MS CHARMING (formerly Sea Princess – sister to the Oceana and Sun Princess she likes to world cruise)

This ship was once the P&O Adonia! back in the days when Princess Cruises and P&O were twinned. Now she is the MS Charming.

The more classical styled 77,499-ton, 1,950-passenger, Sea Princess is back in the Princess fleet where it started. It is not the recent Adonia that went to Azamara as the Pursuit. To see the incredibly history of Princess cruises, once part of P&O Princess Cruises, and founded by an ex-Navy Air-corps man come back and read our Princess History blog. The Sea Princess, refurbished in Oct 2015, is a sister ship to the Sun Princess refurbished earlier the same year, and the Oceana, built in Italy. The circa 2,000 guests are over 15 decks in 1008 staterooms in 27 categories. 19 are the wheelchair accessible rooms. The Sea Princess likes to stay around Australia and the South Pacific but also has a world cruise schedule. The largest cabins aboard Sun Princess are the Balcony Suites (470 ft2), but compared to modern ships what used to be the largest ship at sea can now be considered a smaller, more homely ship that its guests love and return to.
