With 16 ships in its fleet, Princess Cruises will be calling Port Canaveral home for at least one Grand-class cruise ship.
Caribbean Princess just arrived at the Florida cruise port and will be sailing out of Port Canaveral today on a 4-day sailing to Grand Turk.
This marks the first time for a Princess cruise ship to homeport from the Space Coast region.
After arriving back at its new home in Port Canaveral on December 1, Caribbean Princess will offer an 8-night sailing to St. Thomas, St. Maarten, San Juan, and Grand Turk.
The ship will offer Eastern and Western Caribbean sailings on 6-, 8-, and 14-night voyages throughout the winter months.
The 3,140-passenger vessel is slated to sail out of Port Canaveral until April of 2025 when the ship will sail on a 16-night cruise to Los, Angeles California.
Caribbean Princess will then offer Alaska sailings out of Vancouver, Canada through the summer months. In the fall of 2025, the ship is scheduled to move to Port Everglades.
Built in 2003, the 112,894 gross ton vessel was among the largest in the fleet until Royal-class ships were built by the cruise line.
There are six other ships in Princess Cruises’ Grand class which include Grand Princess, Diamond Princess, Sapphire Princess, Crown Princess, Emerald Princess, and Ruby Princess.
