On the amazing Sun Princess, we’re going to celebrate love for life every evening by pairing an incredibly unique vibe along with exceptional cuisine to create a setting for everyone to indulge their senses and emotions.”
Love by Britto will feature a seven-course, prix fixe menu at $149 per person. Each meal will begin with a flute of champagne followed by multiple luxury dishes.
