December 15

Voyages on Majestic Princess, Regal Princess, Sapphire Princess, Sea
Princess and Sun Princess to Pause Through End of October 2020

SANTA CLARITA, Calif., July 22, 2020 -- Due to the continued progression of
COVID-19 and related decisions of various government, health
authorities, and airlines regarding travel restrictions, Princess Cruises is
extending its pause in cruise operations impacting the following voyages: 
* All cruises sailing in and out of Australia on Majestic Princess,
Regal Princess, Sapphire Princess, Sea Princess, and Sun Princess through
October 31, 2020 
* All sailings in Asia, Caribbean, California
Coast, Hawaii, Mexico, Panama Canal, South America & Antarctica,
Japan, and Tahiti/South Pacific through December 15, 2020 
“We share in our guests’ disappointment in cancelling these cruises,”
said Jan Swartz, Princess Cruises president. “We look forward
to the days when we can return to travel and the happiness it brings to
all who cruise.” 

Guests currently booked on these cancelled voyages who have paid Princess in
full will have the option to 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. 

For guests who have not paid in full, Princess will Double the Deposit,
providing a refundable FCC for the money currently on deposit plus a matching
bonus FCC that can be used on any voyage through May 1, 2022. The matching
bonus FCC is non-refundable, will not exceed the base cruise fare amount of
the currently booked cruise, and will have a minimum value of $100 per
person. 

To receive the above FCCs, no action is required by the guest or their
travel advisor. Alternatively, guests can request a full refund for all
monies paid on their booking through this online form
(https://princess.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bKHMO3kF1HsNhVX). Requests must be
received by August 31, 2020 or guests will be registered for the Future
Cruise Credit option. 

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
