REG-Carnival PLC: Island Princess and Diamond Princess Restart

Princess Cruises Announces Updated Return to Cruise Operations Timing for
Island Princess and Diamond Princess

SANTA CLARITA, Calif. (August 25, 2021)  – Princess Cruises
(http://www.princess.com/), the world’s leading international premium cruise
line is announcing updated restart timing for Island Princess and Diamond
Princess. Island Princess will now return to service with a series of cruises
to the Caribbean in spring 2022, prior to its 14-day Panama Canal Ocean to
Ocean voyage on April 27, 2022. Diamond Princess will also return to service
in spring 2022 with a season of Japan sailings. Details of both new programs
will be announced shortly.

Island Princess and Diamond Princess join eight MedallionClass™ ships -
Majestic Princess, Grand Princess, Ruby Princess, Enchanted Princess, Sky
Princess, Regal Princess, Caribbean Princess and Emerald Princess—which have
returned to service or are scheduled to restart by November 28, 2021, taking
guests to Alaska, the Caribbean, Panama Canal, Mexico, Hawaii, and the
California Coast.

“Following our successful restart in Alaska and the UK, we look forward to
welcoming our guests back on board as we continue our return to cruise
operations, keeping the health and safety of our guests and teammates our top
priority, said Jan Swartz, Princess Cruises president.”

As a result of these changes, Princess Cruises is cancelling its 2021-2022
South America & Antarctica Program, and its 2022 World Cruise along with two
December 2021 Island Princess cruises.

For guests booked on a cancelled cruise, Princess will offer to move them to
an equivalent future cruise with the added benefit of protecting their
2021/2022 fare on their future cruise. Alternatively, guests can choose a
future cruise credit (FCC) equivalent to 100% of the cruise fare paid or a
full refund to the original form of payment.

Requests must be received through this online form
(https://www.princess.com/pcl/) by September 30, 2021, or guests will
automatically be moved to the default alternate. FCCs can be used on any
cruises booked by and sailing by December 31, 2022.   

Princess will protect Travel Agent commission on bookings that were paid in
full in recognition of the critical role they play in the cruise line’s
business and success.  

The most current information and instructions for booked guests affected by
these cancellations, and more information on FCCs and refunds, can be found
online at Information on Impacted & Cancelled Cruises.
