Sunday, August 25, 2024 Princess Cruises is set to make history by offering summer sailings from Port Canaveral for the first time. The cruise line will launch over 90 cruises from two key Florida ports, making this its most extensive summer Caribbean cruise season ever. From Port Canaveral, the Caribbean Princess will embark on a series of seven-day voyages to both the Eastern and Western Caribbean, providing travelers with a variety of exotic destinations to explore.
Meanwhile, the Regal Princess will set sail from Fort Lauderdale, offering seven-day Eastern and Western Caribbean cruises, along with special eight-day sailings to the Southern Caribbean. A highlight of the season includes exclusive open-jaw Southern Caribbean itineraries. The Caribbean Princess will depart on April 28, 2026, for a 13-day cruise from Fort Lauderdale to Port Canaveral, featuring stops at iconic locations such as Princess Cays, Aruba, Curaçao, Bonaire, San Juan, Amber Cove, Grand Turk, and Nassau.
The Regal Princess will also offer a unique 14-day voyage from Fort Lauderdale to New York, departing on September 5, 2026. This cruise will visit an array of stunning Caribbean destinations, including Curaçao, Aruba, Grenada, Barbados, Dominica, St. Maarten, and San Juan, ensuring passengers a memorable and diverse experience.
Cancellations for Australia Cruises In a recent update, Princess Cruises has decided to cancel more than three months of sailings from Australia. This change is due to the rescheduling of drydock maintenance for the Crown Princess. The cancellations affect voyages departing from Australia between September 26, 2025, and January 12, 2026.
Princess Cruises has proactively reached out to all affected guests and travel advisors, providing options for rebooking or refunds. With these new routes and adjustments, Princess Cruises continues to enhance its offerings, providing exceptional travel experiences while managing its global fleet operations efficiently..
