Caribbean Princess Debuts at Port Canaveral for Its First-Ever Cruise Season

Princess Cruises' Caribbean Princess has arrived at Port Canaveral, marking its inaugural cruise season from this Central Florida port. The ship launched its new schedule with a four-day Thanksgiving cruise to Turks & Caicos, signaling an exciting expansion for Princess Cruises, famously known as "The Love Boat." In celebration of the occasion, the company donated nearly two tons of non-perishable food to The Sharing Center of Central Brevard, supporting local families in need.

The upcoming season includes 19 additional departures through April 2025, offering a variety of itineraries to the Eastern and Western Caribbean. Voyages range from six to eight days, visiting popular destinations like Nassau, Grand Turk, San Juan, and Belize City. Guests seeking extended vacations can combine six- and eight-day cruises into a 14-day journey, making the Caribbean Princess an enticing option for those looking to explore the Caribbean.

Port Canaveral’s leadership has warmly welcomed the Caribbean Princess, with John Padgett, President of Princess Cruises, emphasizing the port’s accessibility and exceptional facilities. “Port Canaveral is a premier port in cruising and offers unmatched convenience for our guests,” Padgett remarked, highlighting their exclusive Rail & Sail program with Brightline. Port CEO Captain John Murray echoed these sentiments, calling the Caribbean Princess a perfect addition to their lineup and noting the growing demand for Princess Cruises in the region.

Onboard, the 3,140-guest ship offers a range of family-friendly and luxury amenities, from interconnecting staterooms and youth centers to the serene adults-only Sanctuary. Signature features like Movies Under the Stars and Broadway-style productions ensure entertainment for all ages, while the MedallionClass technology enhances service and personalization, solidifying Princess Cruises' reputation for world-class vacation experiences.

For added value, guests can opt for the Princess Plus and Princess Premier packages, which bundle amenities like Wi-Fi, beverages, and gratuities at substantial savings. With its luxurious offerings and innovative technology, the Caribbean Princess promises unforgettable adventures for families and travelers alike as it sets sail from Port Canaveral this winter.
