Emerald Princess completed a scheduled dry dock at Fincantieri Palermo in April 2025, arriving at the facility on April 9 and returning to passenger service on April 29. Industry reporting described the core scope as scheduled maintenance, class inspections and technical work.

Reported passenger-facing work included conversion of the Wheelhouse Bar into O'Malley's Irish Pub and Sports Bar, accessibility-related updates in cabins and public spaces, replacement carpeting and refurbishment of the buffet. Additional reported technical work included underwater-hull cleaning and painting, thruster and stabilizer overhauls, scrubber and steel work, and installation of air-lubrication and membrane-bioreactor systems. Some of this detailed scope is documented through secondary reporting rather than a comprehensive Princess post-dry-dock announcement.

Emerald Princess underwent routine dry docking at Damen Shiprepair Rotterdam frof October 12, 2022 to October 28, 2022. The project included scheduled maintenance, technical and classification work, safety inspections, and hull cleaning and repainting.
