A major cruise line will welcome back fully vaccinated customers this fall - here's where it's sailing to
Princess Cruises will resume US-based cruises this fall, more than a year after stopping all trips.
The cruises will bring passengers from California and Florida to destinations like Hawaii and the Caribbean.
Guests must be fully vaccinated, and provide proof of that vaccination.
Princess Cruises has announced it will resume sailing in US waters this fall after over a year of no US-based cruises amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the cruise line said Thursday.
The cruise line will usher "travel-starved" passengers - as Jan Swartz, Princess Cruises president said in a press release - from California and Fort Lauderdale to destinations like the Caribbean, Mexico, and Hawaii from September 25 to November 28 aboard eight ships:
Majestic Princess and Grand Princess will sail from Los Angeles to Mexico and across the coast of California on three, five, and seven-day cruises, and to Hawaii on 15-day cruises.
Ruby Princess will bring passengers from San Francisco across the coast of California on seven-day cruises, to Hawaii on 15-day cruises, and to Mexico on 10-day sailings.
Enchanted Princess will sail from Fort Lauderdale to the Caribbean on 10-day cruises.
Sky Princess, Regal Princess, and Caribbean Princess will cruise from Fort Lauderdale to the Caribbean on three, five, seven, and 14-day cruises.
Crown Princess will operate from Fort Lauderdale to the Panama Canal on 10-day cruises.
Guests must be fully vaccinated at least 14 days before their cruise and provide proof of vaccination. However, Princess' fully vaccinated cruises - and any cruise line with a vaccine requirement - operating out of Florida could face fines from the state, which has banned "vaccine passports."
Princess initially found workarounds to the cruising ban by offering land-based Alaska tours and stays at the Princess Alaska Lodges. During the pandemic, the cruise line also announced it would upgrade all of its cruise ships with "land-like" WiFi to create "offices at sea."
