When Princess Cruises launched the Sun Princess in 2024, they set a new benchmark for immersive onboard experiences. Among the ship’s standout attractions are its dramatic, interactive water features crafted and installed by Technifex—designed to enchant families and create visual focal points that define the ship’s upper decks.
Cascade Bar – Water Feature
Visible from multiple decks, the Stainless Chainmail Water Curtains serve as a visual landmark and a signature design element.
Water cascades down (12) 21” Wide x 26.5 feet tall Stainless Chainmail Curtains, creating a mesmerizing, ever-moving effect. During the day, the curtains glimmer in the sun; at night, color-changing LED lighting transforms the water into a living, illuminated sculpture.
The Splash Zone – Family Activity Zone
The Splash Zone emerges as a centerpiece within the Family Activity Zone, offering a dynamic and safe environment for guests of all ages to play and cool off.
Technifex’s Variable Pattern Nozzles (VPNs) are at the heart of the Splash Zone’s playful experience. Unlike traditional water feature nozzles, VPNs are engineered to produce a wide variety of water patterns using only water pressure and simple computerized controls. The result is animated displays—think cones of water morphing into laminar columns or shifting shapes—without any moving parts. Integrated alongside VPNs, these nozzles create denser, more energetic sprays, fueling an environment of high-energy fun.
