Princess Cruises announces its most extensive Caribbean cruise programme for summer 2026.
- The iconic Regal Princess and Caribbean Princess to embark on over 90 voyages.
- Regal Princess to explore all Caribbean regions for the first time in history.
- Caribbean Princess offers combined Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries.
- Convenience enhanced with departures from both Central and South Florida.
In an unprecedented move, Princess Cruises unveiled plans to extensively cover the Caribbean, marking a historic first for the company. The upcoming 2026 summer season will see a comprehensive programme, with the Regal Princess and Caribbean Princess spearheading this expansive venture. The cruise line has confirmed over 90 voyages will be on offer, tapping into previously uncharted routes, and providing passengers with a broader selection of destinations across the Caribbean.
The Regal Princess is set to traverse the eastern, southern, and western Caribbean regions. Itineraries have been tailored to offer seven to eight-day voyages, though there are also options to combine trips into a 14-day immersive experience, allowing passengers to explore a more extensive portion of the islands in a single holiday. This pioneering move is expected to attract a wide demographic of holiday-makers, eager to experience the diverse cultures and breathtaking landscapes of the Caribbean.
Meanwhile, the Caribbean Princess will offer similar itineraries, with a focus on both eastern and western Caribbean routes. Passengers can opt for seven-day journeys or combine them for a 14-day adventure, aptly named the Caribbean Adventurer sailings. Noteworthy itineraries include six-day and seven-day tours that highlight the charm of Easter Caribbean locales such as Turks & Caicos and Puerto Rico, alongside Mexico’s Caribbean coast in the west.
Incorporating additional highlights to the 2026 Caribbean season, Princess Cruises has planned Southern Caribbean Islander cruises to bookmark the season. The Caribbean Princess will set sail from Fort Lauderdale on April 28, 2026, for a 13-day journey, whereas the Regal Princess will embark on a 14-day voyage from September 5, 2026. This expansion not only broadens the company’s cruise offerings but also underscores its commitment to enhancing passenger experience by decreasing the geographical gap between ports of departure in Central and South Florida.President John Padgett expressed confidence in the new programme’s capacity to make their premier services more accessible and convenient for travellers.
