Join us on the Enchanted Princess for a unique retreat experience that will
rejuvenate your soul and strengthen your faith.

DINING
It begins in a little village. Or a big city. Or a tropical island. Our chefs travel from their homes to our ships, bringing family recipes and enthusiasm along with them. They create dishes served by crew members who love to tell stories of their own, about where they’re from and where they’ve been, and hear your stories too. Because food brings people together, especially here.
ACTIVITIES
Enjoy the views, exercise, socialize with fellow retreatants, check your email on your personal device or at the internet cafe, or just relax and enjoy time for prayer between our complete schedule of functions. Click here to learn more about cruise activities.
