While cruising is one of the easiest and safest ways to visit multiple destinations in one vacation, all while only unpacking once, some cruisers still would like things to be easier. It is a vacation after all, so what’s wrong with wanting to relax as completely as possible? Absolutely nothing, according to Princess®, which is why they invented MedallionClass®. Keep reading to discover why travelers love how the Medallion® makes cruising easier.
The MedallionClass experience is not a special level of cruising you pay extra for. It’s how Princess describes the ships outfitted for their high-tech Medallion technology. This innovative concept first launched in 2017, and now every ship in Princess’ celebrated fleet is officially MedallionClass.
Medallions can be worn easily on your shirt.
What Are Princess Cruises Medallions?
Medallions are quarter-sized, wearable devices that interact with sensors throughout the ship. When you book any Princess cruise, you can expect your Medallion to arrive at your home about a week before the trip. Since you’ll be wearing or carrying it on day one, the first benefit you’ll notice is how easy contactless boarding will be. You don’t need to wait for someone to hand you a keycard — your Medallion not only unlocks your door, but it also activates a personal greeting from your stateroom.
Once you leave your stateroom, navigating the ship is simple. Your Medallion, partnered with the Princess® App, can give you turn-by-turn directions to wherever you want to go. The MedallionClass system even knows where others in your group are located, so you can quickly join them at the bar to raise a toast to your upcoming cruise adventure.

With the Princess Medallion, staff can find you easier.
While you’re out and about, enjoying the relaxed, onboard atmosphere, your Medallion makes finding you a breeze. So, if you're hungry during Movies Under the Stars® or lounging poolside, you can order your favorite food and drinks from select locations around the ship with OceanNow (their exclusive delivery at sea) in the Princess App and the staff will bring it right to you. Anything you purchase can be paid for easily thanks to MedallionPay™. Crew members first confirm your identity, matching your photo and location, and your Medallion handles the rest of the payment.
