Princess Cruises marked a major milestone today as Sky Princess—the line’s first-ever Royal-Class ship to be based in Central Florida—officially arrived in Port Canaveral to kick off a full season of Caribbean sailings.

As of today, Sky Princess is officially setting sail on six- and eight-night Caribbean getaways from the Space Coast, running nonstop through March 2026. The seasonal runs are already locked in for a second season next year, cruising again from November 2026 to March 2027, and all sailings are available to book now.

Luckily, Port Canaveral is simple to reach—whether travelers are driving in, flying into the area, or hopping aboard the Brightline train through Princess’ exclusive Rail & Sail program. Travelers can also combine select Sky Princess sailings to create two-week, 14-night adventures that hop through favorites like Turks and Caicos, Puerto Rico, St. Thomas, Amber Cove—and plenty more Caribbean stops along the way.

“Building on the success of our inaugural Caribbean season from Port Canaveral, we’re delighted to return to the Space Coast for another series of sailings,” said Jim Berra, Princess Cruises’ Chief Commercial Officer. “Our guests appreciate the convenience of cruising from Central Florida, and with the addition of Sky Princess, we’re pleased to offer even greater capacity and even more ways for guests to enjoy the Princess experience.”

“Princess Cruises is a valued partner and we're very proud of the success they’ve had sailing from our Port,” said Port Canaveral CEO Capt. John Murray. "Sky Princess is a great addition to the lineup of cruise options from Central Florida. We look forward to delivering a high-quality guest experience for everyone sailing on this stunning new ship."

Weighing in at 141,000 tons and built for 3,660 guests, Sky Princess brings the cruise line’s Royal-Class style to a new level, blending modern spaces with a lineup of big-ship amenities. On board, it’s all about standout food, high-energy shows, and thoughtfully designed accommodations that strike a balance between comfort and sophistication. With award-winning dining, lively entertainment and stylish staterooms throughout, the ship is built to impress travelers who expect a little extra from their vacation.
