Princess Cruises to resume Panama Canal transit cruises for summer 2022/23

Princess Cruises has released its 2022/23 Caribbean and Panama Canal program, with 87 departures on 21 different itineraries.

Cruises on Princess’ new Caribbean and Panama Canal itineraries will range from shorter 4-day, to longer 21-day voyages, and will include six cruise ships.

Enchanted Princess, Sky Princess, Regal Princess, Caribbean Princess, Island Princess, and Emerald Princess will be deployed in the Caribbean and Panama Canal for the 2022/23 season.

The inclusion of Enchanted Princess in the mix is particularly exciting as she’s Princess Cruises’ newest ship. Delivered last year, but unable to sail any passengers cruises due to the pandemic, she is now expected to enter service later this year.

Princess last month revealed some of the new dining experiences that will debut aboard Enchanted Princess.

The Caribbean cruises will be operated roundtrip out of Fort Lauderdale, visiting 24 island in total. Highlights include St. Maarten, Belize, Grand Cayman, Curacao, Barbado and more.

Princess’ private island, Princess Cays, is also included as part of the cruise line’s Eastern, Western, and Southern Caribbean itineraries.

For its Panama Canal itineraries, Princess Cruises will deploy Caribbean Princess, Emerald Princess, Island Princess, and Ruby Princess on six itineraries with 26 cruises in total.

These voyages will visit 16 cruise destinations in nine countries. The cruises range from 10 to 16 days. Highlights include the Panama Canal with Costa Rica & Caribbean 10-day itinerary and the Panama Canal Ocean to Ocean 15-day itinerary with calls in Mexico, and South and Central America.

Princess has indicated that its past guests are eligible for a special promotion if they book before October31st, 2021, which will include a Captain’s Circle Launch Discount, which may be combined with launch and group promotions.

These discounts do not apply to third or fourth berth guests, the cruise line said.

The 2022/23 Caribbean and Panama Canal itineraries come just days after Princess Cruises announced its 2022/23 West Coast cruise season with voyages from the United States to Mexico, Hawaii, Tahiti and the Californian coast.

Princess Cruises West Coast itineraries will feature six ships, including the new Discovery Princess, with 78 cruises on 19 roundtrip itineraries from Los Angeles, San Francisco and Vancouver.
