Qualia is a unique expression of Australian luxury, situated on the secluded northern tip of Hamilton Island. Feel time unravel in its exquisitely appointed pavilions that sit in perfect harmony with the Island’s unique location.
For three decades, the sun has risen on the beautiful ships of Princess Cruises.
Welcome to a new dining experience in cruising. One that gives you the freedom to choose where, when, and with whom you wish to dine. On Princess, you are offered a variety of choices. In fact, on some ships there are up to nine different dining options to choose from. And, more importantly, you can select a seating option that’s based on your schedule.
WHICH DINING CHOICE DO YOU PREFER?
In the main dining rooms, there are two options for dinner: Traditional Fixed Seating and Anytime DiningSM. If you enjoy the traditional option of having the same table partners and waiters throughout your cruise, select Traditional Fixed Seating. This dining option features award winning Princess cuisine and offers a choice of two seating times, 6:30 p.m. or 8:30 p.m.
When you select Anytime Dining, you choose your dining style–whether you prefer to dine alone or with newfound friends–anytime between 5:30 p.m. and 10 p.m. This option features the same award winning cuisine as the Traditional Fixed Seating.
Whichever dining option you choose, you’ll enjoy the same delectable menus and follow the same dress code in the dining rooms each night. Traditional Fixed Seating or Anytime Dining? The choice is yours. Simply let your travel agent know your preference when you book your cruise.
AFTERNOON TEA
Enjoy the time-honored custom of afternoon tea with finger sandwiches, pastries, scones, cookies, music and whiteglove service. It’s the perfect interlude between sunning and swimming out on deck and a star-studded evening at sea. Enjoy your choice of a wide selection of premium teas— from Earl Grey to your favorite herbal infusion. And of course there’s coffee if you prefer. The choice is up to you.
SPECIAL DIETS
Princess is happy to meet your request for low-sodium, low-fat, low-sugar, and vegetarian diets.

Well-appointed ships boast all the amenities you'd expect from a land-based vacation and more, including many choices of restaurants and live entertainment.

Spacious staterooms, many with private balconies, offer a luxury that Princess has now made affordable to all. Comparable in size to other recently built vessels, these ships carry significantly fewer passengers. And the Grand Class vessels, offer choice and variety, intimacy and spaciousness, with multiple dining rooms and entertainment lounges and fabulous amenities including everything from computerized golf centers to a virtual reality center. On the new generation of Princess ships, there truly is complete freedom to do “what you want, when you want.” In a fleet that ranges from intimate to ultimate, the ships of Princess Cruises suit a variety of tastes. Getting to know each one is a pleasure that will bring you back again and again.
