Gather up your superheroes and head over to the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess Resort for a summer of action-packed adventures. Through Labor Day, the resort encourages families to engage in heroic activities that will allow kids' high energy and active imaginations the opportunity to really take flight.
“If you didn’t get away to that exotic destination this summer, you won’t want to miss a short escape to the Princess for the Labor Day Dreamcation weekend," says Pam Gilbert, director of Sales and Marketing. "This year the resort will host a final celebration of Superhero Summer at the Princess with a three-day cruise aboard the SS Princess to the magical Paradise Island, home of Wonder Woman. Island drinks, spa packages and a tropical bounty of cuisine will help you ease out of summer break feeling like you had an escape to a tropical island. Of course, all the Super Hero fun at the Princess continues through the weekend."

“This summer the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess may be the safest place on earth, with each child checking in donning a mask, cape and taking on a superhero identity. Heroes are on patrol throughout the resort. These young avengers gain their super powers attending the Superhero Training Academy and Superhero Flight School where caped crusaders soar over the lagoon. This heroic adventure is available through the finale Labor Day weekend celebration.” –PAM GILBERT, DIRECTOR OF SALES AND MARKETING
