Princess Cruises is set to relaunch its Caribbean cruises this fall, the company said this week. 

That will include sailings on the company’s Enchanted Princess, Sky Princess, Regal Princess and Caribbean Princess ships. 

Enchanted Princess will begin with two new cruises from Fort Lauderdale, with 10-day itineraries to the Southern and Eastern Caribbean. 

Sky Princes, Regal Princess and Caribbean Princess will include a combination of three, five, seven and 14-day cruises in the Eastern Caribbean and the Western Caribbean from Fort Lauderdale. 

That’s along with Crown Princess, which will operate 10-day Panama Canal cruises from Fort Lauderdale. 

“As we continue our return to service, it is a thrill for us to be able to bring more cruise vacation options to our travel-starved guests,” said Jan Swartz, Princess Cruises president. “We appreciate the support of government and port officials who we worked closely with to make these travel opportunities available, in a thoughtful and safe way, for our guests.”

The company said its cruises were available for “guests who have received their final dose of an approved COVID-19 vaccine at least 14 days prior to the beginning of the cruise and have proof of vaccination.”
