Harnessing the power of your Ocean Medallion, it uses your supplied preferences to provide everything you need at that moment, like suggestions for activities and directions to them, along with invitations and reservations for the future. Using Ocean Compass is not mandatory to have an amazing vacation. But the more you engage with it, the more you’ll see the exciting and unexpected opportunities on your cruise — and it remembers your preferences for your next cruise!
STEP RIGHT ABOARD Your vacation is seamless, as you’ll experience swift embarkation and your personal Ocean Medallion even unlocks your stateroom door.
get more of the vacation you loveEnjoy an effortless, personalized vacation in so many ways:
ALWAYS AT YOUR FINGERTIPS From touchscreens throughout the ship to mobile devices and even on your stateroom TV, you can access Ocean Compass to order food, make dining reservations, shop and more.
STAY TOGETHER If you opt-in for location-based services, the Ocean Navigate feature keeps track of your group on the ship, and allows you to stay in touch through private messaging.
ADVENTURES JUST FOR YOUWant a high-energy adventure at the next port, or just leisurely sightseeing? Ocean Compass knows your preferences and can recommend excursions that are best suited for you.
TREATS AND A MOVIEOrder food or a drink from your lounge chair using the HERE & NOW™ feature on Ocean Compass, ensuring you won’t miss a moment of Movies Under the Stars®.
SHOPPING MADE SIMPLE Whether you are browsing The Shops of Princess or lounging in your balcony stateroom, you can make purchases in seconds.
PRIVACY CONCERNS? Each guest’s personal information is encrypted and not stored on the Ocean Medallion, which is three times more secure than hotel key cards. In addition, guests may opt out of most services that are not safety related.
OCEAN MEDALLION™In advance of your Medallion Class cruise, you’ll be shipped your own complimentary personalized medallion, a quarter-sized disc that you carry throughout your cruise. You can customize your Medallion with a choice of colors, and it will also be laser-etched with your name, ship and sail date. Carry or wear it the way that best suits you — wristband, pendant, clip, keychain or just in your pocket. While it looks like an accessory, it’s linked to Ocean Compass to create an effortless vacation and it allows us to anticipate all your needs ahead of time.

One of the most wonderful things about a Princess® cruise is that every day on board is a new horizon of possibility. And you’ve got nothing but time to enjoy all the ship’s inviting and relaxing venues, fun-filled activities and engaging
enrichment options. Or to curl up by the pool with a book and do nothing at all. After the activities of the day are done, it’s time for an evening of excitement. And what a night it is — with myriad options for making wonderful memories.
