Booking a suite on Princess Cruises comes with a range of upgraded benefits, but what you receive depends on whether your suite falls under the Reserve Collection or the Sanctuary Collection. All suites are part of one of these two categories, and the experience can vary quite a bit depending on the ship.
Princess Reserve Collection
Reserve Collection suites are available on more ships and come with several valuable perks. Guests can enjoy complimentary breakfast in a specialty restaurant, which offers a quieter and more elevated start to the day. On embarkation day, there is also a complimentary dinner in a specialty restaurant, making the first night feel a bit more special. Additional benefits include a
- complimentary minibar setup,
- free laundry and professional cleaning services,
- and daily in room touches like wine and evening canapés.
Princess Sanctuary Collection
Sanctuary Collection suites are a newer and more premium offering, currently available only on Sun Princess and Star Princess. These suites include everything in the Reserve Collection and then go a step further. Guests receive access to the exclusive two story Signature Suite Lounge, along with private dining at the Sanctuary Restaurant. One of the biggest perks is that the Princess Premier package is included, which can be valued at around $100 per day and covers things like drinks, WiFi and more.
Lots of Perks
The main difference between the two comes down to the level of inclusions and exclusivity. Reserve Collection offers a strong set of perks that enhance the cruise experience, while Sanctuary Collection adds a more all inclusive luxury feel with bundled extras and private spaces. If those added benefits are important to you, it is worth checking which ships offer Sanctuary suites when planning your cruise.
