Princess Cruises Extends Pause of Cruise Vacations

From Seattle through June 27, 2021  

SANTA CLARITA, Calif. (March 16, 2021) – While Princess Cruises continues
to work with various United States and Canadian government officials to try
to preserve a portion of the Alaska 2021 cruise season, the company is
extending its pause of cruise vacations for sailings from Seattle through
June 27, 2021.  

The pause in operation affects seven-day Alaska Inside Passage cruises on
Emerald Princess and Majestic Princess.

For guests booked on a cancelled voyage, Princess will offer to move guests
to the equivalent cruise in 2022. The rebooking process will have the added
benefit of protecting the guests’ 2021 fare on their 2022 voyage.
Alternatively, guests can choose a future cruise credit (FCC) equivalent to
100% of the cruise fare paid plus an additional non-refundable bonus FCC equal
to 10% of the cruise fare paid (minimum $25 USD) or a full refund to the
original form of payment.   

 Requests must be received through this online form
(https://www.princess.com/pcl/) by April 15, 2021 or guests will
automatically receive the FCC option. FCCs can be used on any cruises
booked by and sailing by December 31, 2022.  

Princess will transfer the commission earned by travel agents from the
cancelled 2021 cruise to the new booking in 2022 for bookings that
were paid in full. This convenience is 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
