The Star Princess wrapped up its inaugural season in Alaska in late September, concluding a series of 20 sailings in the region.
As previously reported by Cruise Industry News, the newest Princess Cruises ship arrived in Seattle for the deployment in early May.
The LNG-powered vessel offered roundtrip cruises from the Washington homeport, sailing to destinations such as Juneau, Skagway and Ketchikan.
The Star Princess was expected to welcome over 90,000 passengers for the itineraries, which also included scenic cruising by the Endicott Arm, Dawes Glacier and Inside Passage.
As one of the largest ships sailing in Alaska this summer, the vessel joined Princess’ eight-ship lineup in the region. The company’s cruise program included 180 departures from six ports, visiting nearly 20 destinations.
After offering a coastal cruise on the West Coast, the Star Princess kicked off a repositioning voyage to Fort Lauderdale in early October.
Sailing from Los Angeles, the 16-night cruise will sail to destinations in Mexico, Panama and the Southern Caribbean before arriving in Florida.
In addition to a full transit of the Panama Cana, the itinerary includes visits to Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlán, Panama City and Oranjestad.
The 175,500-ton ship is now scheduled to spend the winter offering weeklong cruises to the Caribbean from Port Everglades.
The season runs through April 2027, when the vessel is set to start a repositioning voyage ahead of another summer season in Alaska.
Having been delivered by the Fincantieri shipyard in late 2025, the Star Princess is currently the newest and largest in Princess’ fleet.
The 4,000-passenger ship offered cruises in the Mediterranean and the Caribbean during its maiden season, sailing from ports in Spain and Florida.
The vessel then offered a repositioning voyage to the West Coast in April, sailing to its homeport in Seattle via the Panama Canal.
