Princess Cruises Revamps Plus & Premier Packages for 2026 Holidays

Princess Cruises Unveils Enhanced Packages for 2026 Voyages

Princess Cruises is set to delight UK cruise enthusiasts with revamped versions of its popular Princess Premier and Princess Plus packages. These refreshed offerings, available for voyages departing from 2026, promise enhanced dining experiences and shore excursion credits. The aim is to deliver greater value and flexibility while phasing out less popular features.

Pricing Details for UK Guests

For UK travellers, the pre-cruise pricing remains unchanged. The Princess Premier Package is priced at £75 per person per day, while the Princess Plus Package costs £50 per person per day. However, if you’re sailing on the Sphere-class ships, Sun Princess and Star Princess, expect a slight increase. The Premier Package will be £80, and the Plus Package will be £55 per person per day.

New Additions to the Packages

The updated Premier Package now includes a shore excursion credit, which varies with the length of your cruise. For voyages lasting 6 to 9 days, you’ll receive a $100 credit. This increases to $200 for 10 to 20-day voyages and $300 for sailings of 21 days or more. These credits complement existing perks like unlimited beverages, specialty dining, four-device WiFi, and more.

The Plus Package has also seen enhancements. It now offers two additional casual dining meals per voyage, totalling four. Other benefits, such as the Plus Beverage Package and single-device WiFi, remain unchanged.

Features Being Phased Out

To make room for these exciting new benefits, Princess Cruises has decided to remove some lesser-used features. These include premium desserts, juice bar access, fitness classes, and the Princess Prizes promotion. The cruise line has stated that these changes are based on guest feedback and evolving preferences.

Continued Value for Cruise Holidaygoers

Princess Cruises assures that these package updates continue to offer excellent value. For those who frequently dine out, use WiFi, and enjoy onboard beverages, these packages can lead to significant savings. The changes reflect a broader industry trend, with cruise lines refining guest perks to stay competitive and meet traveller expectations.

As of now, these updates apply only to voyages departing from 2026. Current and 2025 sailings remain unaffected. So, if you’re planning a cruise holiday, these enhanced packages could make your journey even more enjoyable.
