Travelers on the new Sun Princess will find a magical world behind a nondescript black door on Deck 8.

It's Spellbound by Magic Castle, a collaboration with the famed Hollywood icon that blends magic with mixology to create an extraordinary, Victorian-inspired experience.

Patrons will be treated to world-class magicians, surprises in themed rooms and theatrical cocktails delivered by sleight-of-hand servers.

Magical artifacts and interactive special effects

With its ornate décor that includes magical artifacts, vintage curiosities and interactive special effects, Spellbound is designed to capture the essence of Hollywood’s Magic Castle, where stars gather and legends have been born.

'We are bringing some of the most authentic aspects of The Magic Castle in Hollywood to Sun Princess, complete with incredible magicians and illusionists, so that Princess guests can experience a taste of the world-class magic that is showcased nightly at the Magic Castle,' said Erika Larsen, president of Magic Castle Enterprises.
