What Is Princess MedallionClass® and Why Is Everyone Talking About It?

If you’ve been researching Princess Cruises, you may have come across the term MedallionClass®. But what exactly is it, and why has it become one of the most talked-about innovations in the cruise industry?
At Ocean World Travel, we specialise in helping our clients choose cruise lines that align with how they like to travel. For tech-savvy cruisers, or anyone who values convenience and personalisation, Princess Cruises’ MedallionClass® is a standout feature worth knowing about.
What Is MedallionClass®?
MedallionClass® is Princess Cruises’ award-winning wearable technology that enhances nearly every aspect of your onboard experience. It all revolves around a 10p-sized smart medallion that’s delivered to your home before you sail.
Worn on a lanyard, bracelet, clip or necklace, this device connects seamlessly to your cruise profile and ship systems to create a more personalised, touch-free holiday at sea.
Key Features of MedallionClass®
📲 Touch-Free Boarding
Say goodbye to traditional queues. The Medallion makes embarkation and disembarkation faster than ever. As soon as you arrive at the terminal, you’re recognised automatically—no need to dig out paperwork or passports.
🔓 Keyless Stateroom Entry
Your stateroom door unlocks automatically as you approach. No more fiddling with keycards or worrying about locking yourself out.
🍹 On-Demand Food & Drink Delivery
Fancy a mojito by the pool or a snack in your cabin? Order via the Princess® app and crew members will find you using the Medallion’s location technology—wherever you are on board.
