Princess Cruises Announces Early 2021 World Cruise Cancellations

SANTA CLARITA, Calif. (August 25, 2020) – Due to restrictions and
limitations with border and port access determined by
government and health authorities and the
continued uncertainty of airline travel, Princess Cruises
is canceling its early 2021 World Cruises and Circle South America
cruises on two ships: 
* Island Princess 2021 World Cruise sailing from North America, including
associated segments and remaining voyages sailing immediately prior
* Pacific Princess 2021 Circle South America sailing from Australia, including
associated positioning cruises
“We share in the disappointment of this cancellation for guests of our world
cruises because it’s a pinnacle cruise vacation experience, booked by some
of our most loyal guests,” said Jan Swartz, Princess Cruises president.”

Guests currently booked on these cancelled voyages will receive a refundable
Future Cruise Credit (FCC) equivalent to 100% of the cruise fare paid plus an
additional non-refundable bonus FCC equal to 25% of the cruise fare paid. To
receive the above FCCs, no action is required by the guest or their travel
advisor. 

Alternatively, guests can forfeit the bonus FCC offer
and request a refund for all money paid on
their booking by using this online form
(https://princess.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bKHMO3kF1HsNhVX). Guests have
until September 30, 2020 to elect a refund, or they will automatically
receive the default offer listed above.    

Princess will protect travel advisor commissions on bookings for cancelled
cruises 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
