Wear an elegant, gold Medallion® for your holiday with Princess Cruises, and you can access next-level, on-demand personalised service. This device, part of the Princess MedallionClass® experience, leverages the latest in wearable technology to add ease, speed and fun to your cruise.
Below, we reveal all of what you can expect when choosing Princess MedallionClass® for your cruise.
The OceanMedallionTM wearable device
When Princess Cruises initially developed MedallionClass® (pre-2020), its aim was to provide highly personalised service. However, using this sophisticated consumer electronic technology also delivers the benefit of reduced contact between guests and crew, which has obviously become a primary concern over the last two years.
Princess MedallionClass® services and features are accessed via a wearable medallion device that is the size of a small casino chip. You can choose to wear the device on a lanyard as part of your cruise card or have it customised and integrated with one of a range of accessories, e.g., a bracelet, pendant, sports band or clip. The device is free to all guests travelling on a MedallionClass® ship.
The OceanMedallionTM wearable device is waterproof, heat-, sand- and salt-resistant and requires no charging. It also interacts with the MedallionClass App to provide additional onboard digital experiences.
