The Ship. Built in 2007, the Emerald is a member of Princess' Grand class of ships. She weighs approximately 113,000 tons, and accommodates about 3,000 passengers. Though a large ship, her careful design gives guests her an intimate feel. Glamorous touches including soaring staircases and marble floors set a tone of elegance.

Dining. The ship features a number of dining options. There are three main dining rooms each serving the same high-quality menu and exceptional service that Princess is known for: The Botticelli, the Michelangelo, and The Da Vinci. Passengers may choose between traditional assigned tablemates and dining times, or "personal choice" dining with times and tables assigned on the fly. The Lido Deck restaurants serve buffets, pizza, and other options. Two reservations-only alternative dining options are available for an additional fee.

Complimentary 24 hour room service is also available.
