Caribbean Princess Launches New Cruise Season

Princess Cruises, widely recognized as "The Love Boat," has officially kicked off the Caribbean Princess' first-ever cruise season from Port Canaveral. This exciting development sees the majestic vessel setting sail to the beautiful Caribbean islands, starting with a festive four-day Thanksgiving cruise to the idyllic Turks and Caicos islands. The arrival wasn't just a casual affair; in a true spirit of generosity, the cruise line donated nearly two tons of non-perishable food items to The Sharing Center of Central Brevard, aiming to support families in need this holiday season.

He praised the port’s facilities, which allow guests to easily get there, whether by car, air, or through the unique Rail & Sail program with Brightline.

This inaugural winter season features an impressive slate of 19 additional cruise departures. Exciting itineraries are set for both Eastern and Western Caribbean destinations, designed to cater to a variety of guest preferences:
