Close-up magic show to feature on new Princess Cruises’ ship

Close-up magic and mixology will combine to create a Victorian-inspired experience onboard new Princess Cruses’ ship Sun Princess.

Inspired by Hollywood’s Magic Castle, world class magicians will feature in Spellbound when the ship makes its debut in February 2024.

An intimate 30-seat theatre has been created on the ship together with a music room and parlor bar, with close-up magic performed nightly in 30-minute shows.   

Princess Cruises president John Padgett said: “We are excited to introduce Spellbound by Magic Castle and take the art of magic around the world aboard the spectacular new Sun Princess. 

“This collaboration with The Magic Castle takes entertainment into new dimensions with an extraordinary experience that combines the allure of magic with the thrill of cruising. Spellbound will become an iconic guest favourite on Sun Princess.”

Magic Castle Enterprises president Erika Larsen added: “We are bringing some of the most authentic aspects of The Magic Castle in Hollywood to Sun Princess, complete with incredible magicians and illusionists, so that Princess guests can experience a taste of the world-class magic that is showcased nightly at the Magic Castle. 

“It’s an exciting opportunity for guests to immerse themselves in a magical experience typically reserved exclusively for members and their guests.”
