Princess Cruises is planning some major upgrades on its newest cruise ship, Sky Princess.

The new cruise ship, which is slated to debut in the Caribbean in 2019, will include the cruise line’s first-ever “Sky Suites,” with 700 square feet of living space and the largest balconies ever offered by the company.

The two suites will include 270 degrees of panoramic vistas, capacity for five guests and even have private vantage points for the company’s movie screen.

“Our two new Sky Suites reflect Princess Cruises’ continued commitment to offer new and expansive accommodations that meet the needs of our guests who wish to explore the world in ultimate comfort,” said Jan Swartz, president of Princess Cruises.

The 143,700-ton Sky Princess will first debut in the Mediterranean in the fall of 2019.

Amenities on the ship will range from a new “Wakeview” pool and two cantilevered Jacuzzis over the ship’s deep-tank pools.
