Princess Cruises has announced that it has partnered with Handshake Speakeasy to introduce five exclusive, bespoke cocktails, composed by Handshake’s mixologists, which will debut aboard on the Star Princess.
The company said in a press release that the partnership marks Handshake Speakeasy’s first-ever venture with a cruise line.
The five signature cocktails will be available, with three featured in the Crooners bar and two reserved exclusively for guests of The Sanctuary Collection beginning November 14, 2025, on the Star Princess.
Availability will expand fleetwide across all 17 ships in the weeks ahead.
“At Princess, we’re always searching for ways to elevate our guests’ experiences, and this partnership with Handshake Speakeasy represents the best of the best in cocktail culture,” said Sami Kohen, Princess Cruises’s vice president of food and beverage.
“These are cocktails you simply can’t get anywhere else in the world. We’re thrilled to bring these world-class creations to the Princess fleet and offer our guests an unforgettable experience at sea,” added Kohen.
“Working with Handshake Speakeasy is about more than mixing spirits; it’s about telling a story in every sip,” said Rob Floyd, Princess Cruises’s global mixologist ambassador.
“These five cocktails are unique, playful and carry with them the soul of Mexico City’s vibrant bar culture,” added Floyd.
“We are really excited with this collaboration because we can bring a piece of Handshake to more guests and show a little bit of our work with a great partner,” said Rodrigo Urraca, co-owner of Handshake Speakeasy.
According to the press release, the partnership includes a digital storytelling journey led by Floyd.
Filmed in Mexico City, the journey captures Floyd exploring markets as Eric Van Beek, Handshake’s co-owner and lead mixologist, designs cocktails that embody what he calls “the soul of the cocktail.”
