In brief
Royal Princess is a Royal-class cruise ship operated by Princess Cruises, a subsidiary of Carnival Corporation & plc, and is the third ship to sail for the cruise line under that name. The largest ship to have been built for Princess at the time of delivery in 2013, she became the flagship of Princess. As the lead vessel of the Royal class, she lends her name to the company's Royal class, which will consist of six ships upon the last ship's delivery in 2021. The ship measures 142,714 GT and has a capacity of 3,560 passengers.

In context
Every figure in this section is a count, a rank or a percentile over vessels actually held in this registry — not over the world fleet, which is larger. Nothing here is estimated.
At 142,714 gross tons, Royal Princess is the 1,621st largest of the 84,014 vessels in this registry that report a tonnage. The median across that set is 5,994 GT, so this hull is about 24 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 665 cruise ships held here, it ranks 52nd by tonnage — larger than 90% of that group. Their median tonnage is 43,009 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 143,289 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is The Bahamas (133 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Fincantieri, with 112 hulls on record.
Bermuda is the country of registry for 177 vessels in this directory, of which Royal Princess is the 8th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (80 ships), and the median vessel measures 77,277 GT. Browse every ship flagged Bermuda.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 26 cruise ships flying the Bermuda flag, of which 4 are larger by tonnage.
Royal Princess was built in 2013, making it 13 years old. It is one of 2,213 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 22,566 GT; within it this ship is the 59th largest. Across the whole of the 2010s the registry holds 20,111 vessels, median 23,456 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 226 vessels to Fincantieri, with a median tonnage of 54,655 GT, delivered between 1935 and 2026. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 330.0 m overall, Royal Princess is 131.9 m longer than the 198.1 m median for cruise ships on record, with a beam of 38.4 m and a draft of 8.6 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9584712 this registry holds 47 other vessels, whose median build year is 2012 and which range from 2009 to 2020. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2013.
Its IMO number, 9584712, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 5×6 + 8×5 + 4×4 + 7×3 + 1×2 = 172 — and the last digit of that total, 2, must equal the seventh digit, 2. It does, so this number is well formed.
