- Dawn Princess is based in Australia, cruising out of Sydney and Melbourne to New Zealand, the Pacific Islands and (ex Fremantle) to SE Asia. She periodically circumnavigates Australia, and in July 2012 will undertake a 75-night Grand Circle of the Pacific Ocean. This mid-sized vessel gives the feel of uncrowded luxury, with access to a wide range of large and small public rooms. The interiors are attractive and warm, and the glassed-in upper decks provide plenty of light and connections with the outside world. Dawn Princess attracts mostly Australians and some New Zealanders, including a high proportion of seniors, especially in the off season and for longer cruises. Passengers enjoy mingling in a sophisticated setting, with good food and entertainment in an affordable package.
- Dawn Princess has a broad selection of cabins: insides, outside, balconies, mini-suites and suites. Of her 975 staterooms, 603 have exterior views and 410 have balconies. All staterooms have complimentary 24-hour room service, excellent appointments, and pleasing décor. All cabins have reasonable storage space with most of the things needed. Standard cabins are well-designed and functional. Two lower beds make up into a queen-size bed. Bedding is top quality.
Suites and Mini-Suites come with sitting area and desk, full bathtub alongside the shower, two TVs, and balcony. Suites allow for a larger balcony, sofa bed, dining table in the sitting area, and more space for entertaining. Specialty café dining is available for your balcony setting. There are 12 wheelchair-accessible cabins and passengers with disabilities are well catered for.
- The Princess ships have been inducted into the prestigious Chaîne des Rôtisseurs gastronomic society. Each chef's menu is creative and the selections change every day.There are two main dining rooms (no Anytime Dining), and dinner is served in two set seatings in each dining room with assigned tables and tablemates. Breakfast and lunch are provided in an open seating arrangement.
The alternative eating venue is Stirling Steakhouse (extra charge, reservations) for really good steak and barbecued chicken. Passengers booked in cabins with balconies can order several special, romantic meals to be served restaurant-style on the verandah - Ultimate Balcony Dining. Casual dining is available at Horizon Court buffet (24-hours), La Scala Pizzeria, the Balcony Grill (for hamburgers, hot dogs, kebabs and pies), and the Patisserie. Take-away food is available at the pool side.
- In the evening having two show lounges (both theatre and cabaret style) is a great way to give passengers more entertainment choices. During her 2009 refurbishment additions included a Movies Under the Stars screen in the main pool area and an adults-only private sunbathing area, the Sanctuary, at the front of the ship. Add bars, lounges, nightclubs, dance floors and casinos to the list of evening options.
Daytime entertainment offerings include all the cruise ship standards, plus a wide range of “@Sea” activities (computers, ceramics, dance etc.) for every taste. One special offering is the Ultimate Ship Tour, and for a price receive many take-aways. On world cruises passengers generally commit to a regular activity. “Fun Zone”, Shockwaves, and teen Remix program caters for all the youngsters.
