Princess Cruises introduced a monumental 2025-26 Americas season, headlined by the eagerly awaited winter/spring itineraries for its two newest gems, Sun Princess and Star Princess. The magnificent vessels will sail seven-day Eastern and Western Caribbean cruises from Port Everglades (Ft. Lauderdale), transporting guests to some of the most captivating destinations in the world.

Sky Princess will make history of its own by becoming the first Royal Class ship to homeport at Port Canaveral in Central Florida offering eight-day Eastern and Western Caribbean sailings and six-day sailings to the Eastern Caribbean.

The year-round 2025-26 season offers a total of 278 cruises departing from seven accessible home ports, via short drives or domestic flights: San Francisco; Los Angeles; Galveston, Texas; Ft. Lauderdale; Port Canaveral, Fla.; New York City; and Vancouver, British Columbia.
