On Saturday, May 14, the ship will be arriving in the city as part of her 12-day British Isles trip. The cruise ship will also stop in places such as Guernsey, Cork, Dublin, Belfast, Glasgow and Edinburgh.
Onboard guests can enjoy an array of activities including shops, art gallery's and auctions, a casino, theatre, pools and a nightclub. There is also a huge range of restaurants. Princess Cruises said: "Every hour, our chefs are busy baking, grilling and sautéing great-tasting fare from scratch.
"Princess offers unparalleled inclusive dining options throughout the ship with a wide range of culinary delights to suit any palate, from endless buffet choice to gourmet pizza, frosty treats, decadent desserts and much more."
People will never get board on the ship either as there will "movies under the stars", music and dancing, "festivals of the world" and cocktail nights. There is also entertainment for children from ages three up to teenage age.
On this year's cruise season John Mawer, head of Cruise Operations at Cruise Liverpool, said: “We are looking forward to marking the 15th birthday of Liverpool’s Cruise Terminal later this year, and what better way to do it than ensuring record ships and passengers visiting our shores and enjoying the famous Liverpool welcome.
"We also want 2022 to be the year when we make progress in reducing the environmental impact of the ships on the city, there’s a long way to go but talks are already underway and I’m excited to be a part of the conversation on behalf of Liverpool."
