PRINCESS CRUISES ANNOUNCES CARIBBEAN
AND PANAMA CANAL SAILINGS FOR 2020-21
Princess Cruises has announced a series of Caribbean and Panama
Canal voyages from autumn 2020 to spring 2021 and they’re on
sale now. Princess Cruises takes more guests through the Panama
Canal each year than any other cruise line and is also the only line to
offer a full season of voyages from the northern autumn through to
spring, which is the best time to experience this tropical climate.
Caribbean: A total of five ships will sail the Caribbean, offering
guests a choice of 127 departures to 24 destinations in 20 countries
in the Eastern, Western and Southern Caribbean. The cruises range
in length from four to 20 days.
Enchanted Princess will sail the Caribbean following her recent
launch in Southampton in June 2020 with the 3,660-guest ship
departing on alternating seven-day Eastern and Western Caribbean
cruises from November 2020 to April 2021.
The 3,660-guest Sky Princess, launching in October 2019, will sail
for the first time on a 10-day Southern Caribbean Voyager itinerary,
which can be combined for a 20-day Caribbean Explorer cruise.
Guests can choose from 17 Sky Princess voyages from November 5,
2020 to March 30, 2021.
Princess Cruises will visit several UNESCO World Heritage Sites,
including the Belize Barrier Reef System, The Pitons Volcanic Spires
in St. Lucia and historic Bridgetown in Barbados.
Panama Canal: Five ships will sail the waters of the Panama
Canal, with 30 departures and nine itineraries, offering
three ways to experience its locks with round trips from Fort
Lauderdale, round trips from Los Angeles or sailing between the
Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
Crown Princess and Emerald Princess will sail through the new
Agua Clara Locks, offering partial canal transits from the Atlantic
Ocean round trip from Fort Lauderdale with Costa Rica and
Caribbean voyages.
Emerald Princess and Coral Princess will offer full canal transits
on “Ocean to Ocean” voyages between Fort Lauderdale and Los
Angeles, San Francisco or a new homeport of San Diego. In addition,
the 670-guest Pacific Princess is scheduled to sail on a 15-day
Panama Canal Connoisseur voyage from Fort Lauderdale to Los
Angeles via a small ship transit of the canal’s traditional locks.
