PRINCESS CRUISES HELPS SUPPORT THE CARIBBEAN

In an effort to provide support to local communities affected by the
recent hurricanes in the Caribbean, Princess Cruises and Fathom
Travel are adding two additional sailings in the northern hemisphere
spring of 2018. The Caribbean is open for business, but these unique
sailings will allow guests to give to those who have been impacted
by the recent hurricanes. Due to a record sell-out on the first
Fathom group sailing on board Crown Princess, two additional dates
have been added with seven-day round-trip Caribbean cruises from
Fort Lauderdale on Regal Princess, departing March 18, 2018, and
Caribbean Princess, departing May 26, 2018.
These sailings will include experienced small-group leaders,
impact guides, unique on-board events and activities as well as
opportunities on shore to make a difference in the lives of those
living on the islands of the Caribbean. Highlights of the inaugural
eight-day Crown Princess sailing that visits Antigua, St Maarten,
St. Thomas and Amber Cove include an in-depth immersion into
island life, a connection with local communities, a donation drop,
and community care with optional activities including rebuilding,
beach clean-up, reforestation and therapy through arts.
