Princess Cruises has introduced a new collaboration with the iconic Hollywood venue, the Magic Castle, titled "Spellbound by Magic Castle," to be featured on the upcoming Sun Princess when she launches in early 2024. Spellbound merges the enchanting world of magic with mixology, providing passengers with a Victorian-inspired experience.
Situated behind an unassuming door on the latest Princess ship, Spellbound offers guests a unique blend of talented magicians performing incredible feats of magic, immersive themed rooms, and theatrical cocktails served by skillful servers. The venue's ornate decor is adorned with magical artifacts, vintage curiosities, and interactive special effects, aiming to capture the essence of Hollywood's exclusive Magic Castle.
Upon entering Spellbound, guests first experience the essence of the authentic Magic Castle in the Music Room, featuring eclectic artifacts and paintings that pique curiosity. Here, guests will meet the spirit of Isabella, sharing her stories of sailing on Sun Princess. The venue also includes a vintage Parlor Bar, featuring interactions with skilled illusionists, and leads to an intimate 30-seat Spellbound theater for close-up magic performances that promise to amaze and astound.
World-class magicians from around the world will be performing mind-bending tricks, awe-inspiring illusions, and mesmerizing acts to leave the audience in a state of wonder. Spellbound will debut on Sun Princess in February 2024, with more details regarding operating hours and pricing to be announced at a later date. The ship, currently under construction at the Fincantieri shipyard in Italy, will offer a range of entertainment options, activities, and luxurious staterooms for its guests.
