Grand Princess to Sail Southern Caribbean
Itineraries from Puerto Rico, Visiting Most Ports of any
Seven-Day Caribbean Itinerary
FT.
LAUDERDALE, Fla., May 7, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Princess Cruises today announced its return to
San Juan, Puerto Rico for a season
of Southern Caribbean cruises
onboard Grand Princess, from October
2025 through March 2026. This
vibrant capital city of Puerto
Rico offers rich history and culture with must-see
attractions for Princess guests pre- and post-cruise. These
seven-day cruises, which visit more ports than any other 7-day
Princess cruise to the Caribbean,
are on sale May 16.
"Our return to San Juan after
more than a decade not only reconnects our guests with a port rich
in history and charm, but further expands the variety of departure
points across North America that
our guests can sail from," said Terry
Thornton, chief commercial officer for Princess Cruises.
"Puerto Rico remains one of the
fastest-growing destinations in the Caribbean and continues to attract new airlift
from source markets across the U.S. as well as markets in
Europe and South America, which makes it a great fit for
Princess. Plus, there are many outstanding options to choose from
for a great pre- or post-cruise stay."
Originally scheduled to sail Australia, New
Zealand and South Pacific voyages from Brisbane and Sydney, Grand Princess will now sail two
alternating, seven-night itineraries, with departures from
October 12, 2025 - March 29, 2026. These new itineraries each
feature visits to five different and unique destinations, including
many of the most highly rated Southern
Caribbean destinations—many of which are not available on
7-day cruises departing from Florida.
"We are excited to welcome Princess Cruises back home to the
Port of San Juan. This
announcement underscores our commitment to cement San Juan as the leading homeport in the
region, where guests can sail throughout the wonderful ports of the
Eastern and Southern Caribbean.
Furthermore, the sailings will help drive economic development for
both Puerto Rico and our regional
partners", said Carlos Mercado
Santiago, executive director of the Puerto Rico Tourism
Company.
