Cruises announced that its largest ship ever, Sun Princess, will make her United
States debut in October 2024 with a series of seven- and 14-day Caribbean itineraries.
Bookings for the inaugural Caribbean season go on sale on
April 19.
Departing from Fort Lauderdale, the new vessel will offer entertainment
in state-of-the-art venues, relaxation areas and the cruise line’s largest-ever
casino. The 4,300-guest ship also boasts luxurious staterooms and suites across
a broad spectrum of categories.
Highlights of Sun Princess’ first season in the Caribbean include:
- Five-day Caribbean Getaway kicks off the Caribbean season
with visits to Amber Cove and Grand Turk.
- Seven-day Eastern Caribbean with St. Thomas including a
late night in San Juan and a visit to our private island resort Princess Cays.
- Seven-day Eastern Caribbean with Bahamas visiting Amber
Cove, Grand Turk and a visit to our private island resort Princess Cays.
- Seven-day Western Caribbean with Mexico including stops
in Cozumel, Belize City and Roatan.
- Combine the Seven-day Eastern Caribbean and Western
Caribbean for the ultimate 14-day Caribbean East/West Adventurer.
“We are thrilled about the expansion of the Princess fleet
and know that homeporting Sun Princess in Ft. Lauderdale offers a convenient
option for guests to explore the most elevated experience ever from the Love
Boat,” Princess president John Padgett said.
“The warmth, pristine beauty, and crystal-clear waters found
throughout the Caribbean form an idyllic backdrop for our iconic new ship and
create the perfect setting for Princess guests to enjoy the stunning views and
playful adventure that are magnified on this beautiful, iconic new ship,” Padgett
continued.
Sun Princess will homeport at Port Everglades for the winter
after a season of Mediterranean and Europe cruises when she launches in
February 2024. Bookings for the ship’s first cruises are now open.
Earlier this month, the cruise line revealed that two
of its ships would celebrate the United Kingdom’s coronation of King
Charles III this May with live coverage and other celebratory events.
