Princess Cruises has unveiled its largest and most
diverse Caribbean programme yet for the 2027–28 season, featuring 31 ports, five
homeports, and the introduction of Celebration Key™ to its itineraries.
Beginning 1 November 2026, the line’s newest ship, Star Princess, will make the
first call, followed shortly by Regal Princess.
Celebration Key joins the line-up
Purpose-built on Grand Bahama Island, Celebration Key
combines calm turquoise lagoons, beaches and family-friendly or adults-only
areas. Guests can already book Caribbean and Panama Canal voyages; island
experiences such as cabanas open for booking from 17 December. Additional
Princess ships – including Caribbean Princess, Enchanted Princess, Sky Princess
and Sun Princess – will call throughout the 2026–27 and 2027–28 seasons.
“More of what guests love”
“We’re incredibly excited to bring our guests an
expanded Caribbean season filled with more of what they love – sun-soaked
destinations, immersive experiences, and the elegance of our two newest
Sphere-class ships,” said Jim Berra, Chief Commercial Officer of Princess
