The 2023-24 winter season will mark Princess Cruises return to Southeast Asia after a four-year-long gap.
With the Diamond Princess repositioning from Japan, the company is set to offer a series of ten- to 14-night cruises departing from Singapore.
The Carnival Corporation-owned premium brand is also offering itineraries to different parts of the globe, including South America and Australia, where it is set for a strong four-ship program.
Most of the company’s capacity is concentrated in North America, with eight vessels sailing from U.S. ports to destinations in the Caribbean, Central America, the Mexican Riviera and more.
Another highlight of the season is Princess’ 2024 World Cruise. Sailing onboard the Island Princess, the 111-night itinerary features visits to 51 destinations in 27 different countries.
