Dear Guests,

Due to reduced air flight availability, the closure of cruise ports in regions around the world and other factors impacting travel, it is with a heavy heart that Princess is extending our pause of global ship operations.   We have therefore made the extremely difficult decision to cancel select cruises through the end of the 2020 summer season including the following cruises and associated cruisetours:

• All remaining Alaska cruises on Emerald Princess and Ruby Princess
• All remaining Europe and Transatlantic cruises on Enchanted Princess, Regal Princess, Sky Princess, Crown Princess and Island Princess
• Summer Caribbean cruises and all Canada & New England cruises on Caribbean Princess and Sky Princess
• Summer to Fall 2020 cruises departing from Japan on Diamond Princess
• Australia-based cruises on Sapphire Princess and Sea Princess through August
• July cruises sailing from Taiwan on Majestic Princess
• Fall cruises sailing to Hawaii and French Polynesia on Pacific Princess through November

Note this announcement does not include any additional cancellations for Coral Princess, Grand Princess, Royal Princess, Star Princess or Sun Princess.

All affected guests or their travel agencies will be contacted individually with all information and details regarding cancellation and rebooking.
