Princess Cruises has taken dramatic action as the world continues to deal with the dreadful repercussions of COVID.
In response to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s temporary seven-day cap on itineraries that call at US ports, Princess has paused
all cruises longer than seven days sailing in and out of US ports until 1 November 2021 and all cruise operations until 31 March.
Additionally, due to the uncertainty about when international travel restrictions might be lifted, Princess is extending its pause in operations for cruises in and out of Japan until 25 June.
“We are focused on preparing our ships to meet the CDC health and safety requirements for our eventual return to service,” said Jan Swartz, president of Princess Cruises.
“We also appreciate the continued support we have received from our guests, partners and travel advisors, reinforcing for all of us why we do what we do.”
Guests currently booked on these cancelled voyages will have the option to receive a refundable Future Cruise Credit equivalent to 100 per cent of the cruise fare paid plus an additional non-refundable bonus FCC equal to 25 per cent of the cruise fare.
