The British actress and singer is known for her role as Rebecca Welton in Apple TV+'s 'Ted Lasso,' for which she garnered a Primetime Emmy, Critics Choice Television Award and Screen Actors Guild Award, as well as two Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild nominations. She will next be seen in the Universal film 'The Fall Guy' opposite Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt in theaters on May 3.

This year Waddingham earned a BAFTA TV Award nomination for her own Apple TV+ holiday special 'Hannah Waddingham: Home for Christmas.' She will host The Olivier Awards on April 14. Upcoming films include Sony Animation film 'Garfield' out May 24 and, in 2025, 'Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two.'

Sophistication, beauty and wonderment

'Just like Sun Princess, [Waddingham] exudes sophistication, beauty and wonderment through her inspiring work as a talented and award-winning actress and performer,' Princess President John Padgett said.

Sun Princess began its inaugural season in the Mediterranean on Feb. 28 and currently is sailing Mediterranean voyages before debuting at Port Everglades in October for the ship's first Caribbean season.
