This season features 19 additional cruise departures to various destinations in the Eastern and Western Caribbean, with cruises varying in length from six to eight days. Popular itineraries include six-day trips to Nassau, Grand Turk, and either Amber Cove or San Juan, as well as eight-day cruises to St. Thomas, St. Maarten, and more. Moreover, guests can combine different itineraries for longer vacations, catering to diverse traveler preferences. The Caribbean Princess, a ship with the capacity for 3,140 guests and 1,571 staterooms, is designed to cater to families and individuals of all ages with features such as a Youth & Teen Center, outdoor movie screens, and a relaxing adults-only space known as The Sanctuary. The cruise line offers inclusive packages like Princess Plus and Princess Premier, which provide significant savings on amenities, further enhancing the cruise experience for guests. Looking ahead, Royal-Class Sky Princess is set to sail from Port Canaveral in the next winter season of 2025-2026, continuing to expand options for cruise lovers from this major port.
