Princess Ships in Europe - Voltage

Recommended Posts

What voltage is available on Princess ships when cruising in Europe? 120V (US Standard) or 240V (Europe Standard)?
Ships that cruise in Europe are the same ones that cruise the Caribbean, New England, etc. All Princess ships have 110v. outlets. There is a 240v in the bathroom but that is designated for shavers only. The Sea Princess has both voltages in the cabin.

Since almost all crusie ships are built in Europe, their working voltage is expectedly the same as Europe - 220-240v.

 

But since these ships carry many North Americans, many of whom are electrically challenged, the ships have many built-in step down transformers that provide 110-120v to most passenger cabins and a few public areas.

 

The onboard voltages do not change. no matter where the ship is sailing, the available power is the same.
