The Sapphire Princess is a cruise ship for the Princess Cruises line which entered service in 2004. It is one of the largest cruise ships of the World. The ship currently operates a trans-Tasman circuit during the southern hemisphere summers, from Sydney down to Hobart before cruising across the Tasman to Milford Sound and going around New Zealand up to Auckland.

It was built in Japan by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, an oddity given that most cruise ships today are constructed in Europe. Its only "sister" ship is the Diamond Princess. The ship's hull was originally called the Diamond Princess. Construction was delayed when a huge fire swept through the ship during construction. Because the ship's completion would be delayed, her sister ship which was being constructed at the same time assumed the role of the Diamond. This name swap helped to keep the delivery date of the current Sapphire on time, while delaying the delivery of the Diamond just a bit.
