Cruising

Plan next year’s family travels now and your kids can cruise free. Reserve a 2023 cruise on select Princess sailings before Aug. 15, and two children can sail free, sharing your family-sized stateroom. The offer includes a variety of dates, with itineraries including the Western Caribbean with Mexico; the Baja Peninsula & Sea of Cortez; the California coast; Alaska glaciers; the Mediterranean with France & Italy; and New England & Canada.

 

Princess ships are filled with activities to please children of all ages. Discovery at SEA Programs engage children and adults with experiences such as stargazing on the top deck. Discovery Shore Excursions offer immersive experiences for the whole family in the destinations visited.

 

An open-air poolside amphitheater shows concerts and live sports events in the daytime and movies in the evening, with fresh-popped popcorn and fleece blankets for cool evenings.

 

Youth & Teen Clubs are centers designed for different age groups, each with engaging activities and programs. The Treehouse is a bright, forest-themed space with hands-on activities for children ages 3–7; The Lodge, for ages 8–12, is inspired by the outdoors and filled with sports activities; and The Beach House is a beach-themed lounge where teens can hang out and connect.

 

Fares begin as low as $449 per person, with the third and fourth passengers traveling free except for port charges and fees. Although the offer includes sailings through August 2023, reservations must be made by Aug. 15, 2022.
