Princess Collaborating with Renowned
Entertainment Group to Create Three Uplifting,
Playful and Colorful Performances in Ship's Transformational
Entertainment Venue - The Dome
SANTA
CLARITA, Calif., May 11, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- The incredible artistry of one of the biggest names
in entertainment – the renowned Cirque Éloize - will be on full
display aboard the newest ship from Princess Cruises when Sun
Princess debuts early next year.
The iconic Love Boat and Cirque Éloize today announced a
creative collaboration that will bring three spectacular, original
contemporary circus performances to the cruise line's newest and
largest ship.
The immersive, mesmerizing performances are being specially
created for The Dome, a new top-deck, multi-level entertainment
venue debuting for the first time onboard Sun Princess. The
stunning venue combined with the magnificent performances will
deliver emotion, color, and music to create world-class and
unforgettable entertainment.
The Dome embraces amazing natural sky views both day and night,
and utilizes state-of-the-art lighting effects and a hidden stage
with state-of-the-art technical capabilities to deliver the perfect
setting for three shows that will feature eight brilliant
acrobatic and aerial performers.
A driving force in Montreal's
cultural scene for 30 years and seen by more than 5 million
spectators, Cirque Éloize creates, produces, and stages content
that enchants audiences worldwide. Cirque Éloize weds the circus
arts with music, dance, technology and theater to enthrall
audiences seeking meaningful entertainment.
"The Dome is a transformational space that creates a stunning
vista with sweeping views of the ocean and creates an unprecedented
setting to stage avant-garde spectaculars that will absolutely
fascinate our guests," said Francois
Leroux, Princess Senior Vice
President, Creative Design and Entertainment. "We're thrilled
to bring this collaboration with Cirque Éloize to life with three
original shows, created specifically for this innovative and
spectacular space on our next-generation Sun Princess."
Three, spectacular 20- to 30-minute shows will rotate onboard
Sun Princess in The Dome. With disciplines of aerial hoops, aerial
pole, bungee, Cyr wheel, silks, mind-bending contortion and more,
guests will be enthralled with:
- BLUE – Poetic, Universal, Uplifting: A journey into the
magical space between ocean and sky where the spirit of love leads
the artists through time and space highlighting both the real and
the surreal bringing them to realize that no matter how far they
go, the spirit of love is always with them.
- COME FLY AWAY – Playful, Musical, Interactive: This
performance evokes notions of the 1950's era Rat Pack and the
vibrancy of love. A whimsical retro spectacle in which the
bandleader – aided and abetted by his ensemble of misfits – falls
head over heels for an audience member. It's a celebration of the
lost art of the chase in which all are willing participants.
- ARTBEAT – Uplifting, Colorful, Positive. This upbeat
show celebrates the beauty and joy of living life in full color. A
kaleidoscope of characters work together in perfect harmony, each
contributing their talents to create a truly beautiful masterpiece,
reflective of the vibrant heartbeat of the performers and the
audience alike.
Cirque Éloize performances will be complimentary and available
to Sun Princess guests on a first come, first serve basis.
Currently under construction at the Fincantieri shipyard in
Italy, the 175,500-ton,
4,300-guest Sun Princess will offer an array of exciting new
culinary, entertainment and activity offerings, as well as
luxurious staterooms and suites across a broad spectrum of
categories.
Sun Princess will also feature the exclusive Princess Medallion
that will extend Princess' leadership position in delivering
