Princess Cruises is making some changes to its popular Premier and Plus packages.
The revamped packages go on sale July 22 for voyages sailing in 2026.
Prices are going up for both packages. But travelers will be able to take advantage of “highly requested” additions such as extra casual dining options and more credits for shore excursions, according to the company. The cruise line also notes that the packages still offer savings of between 50 and 70 percent compared to purchasing the components separately.
On most ships, the Princess Premier package will now be $100 per person per day for travelers who book before departure, up from $90. For guests sailing aboard Sun Princess and Star Princess, pre-cruise pricing will be $105 per person per day.
The Princess Premier package now includes a new shore excursion credit that varies depending on the length of the cruise: $100 (6-9 days), $200 (10-20 days) and up to $300 for voyages of 21-plus days. The package still includes the unlimited Premier beverage package, unlimited casual and specialty dining, Wi-Fi for four devices, fees waived for OceanNow and room service delivery, unlimited digital professional photos, reserved seating for theatrical shows and daily crew appreciation.
The Princess Plus package, meanwhile, will be $65 per person per day for travelers who book before departure, up from $60. For Sun Princess and Star Princess sailings, pre-cruise pricing will be $70 per person per day. The Princess Plus package now features two more casual dining meals per voyage, for a total of four. The package still includes the Plus beverage package, Wi-Fi for a single device, fees waived for OceanNow and room service delivery and daily crew appreciation.
Some lesser-used features are also going away as part of the package updates. They include premium desserts, juice bar access, Medallion shipping, fitness classes and Princess prizes.
“By thoughtfully evolving our packages, we’re ensuring they reflect what our guests truly desire, more flexibility, enhanced culinary experiences and opportunities to explore ashore, all the while retaining the exceptional benefits they’ve come to expect,” says Alfredo Jimenez, vice president of onboard revenue for Princess Cruises. “Ultimately, it’s about delivering an even more rewarding and personalized vacation experience.”
