Princess Cruises has announced a series of Caribbean and Panama Canal voyages from autumn 2020 to spring 2021. The cruises are open for sale from May 9, 2019.
“Our 2020-21 Caribbean cruise season offers the best experiences ashore and onboard and this season Princess will have two of the newest and youngest ships in the region with Enchanted and Sky Princess both sailing the Caribbean,” said Nick Ferguson, Princess Cruises Sales and Marketing Director.
“We take more guests through the Panama Canal each year than any other cruise line and we’re also the only line to offer a full season of voyages from the northern autumn through to spring, which is the best time to experience this tropical climate. Our upcoming 2020-21 season offers many options for our guests to experience this bucket-list destination – a place best seen from a cruise ship.”

A total of five ships will sail the Caribbean, offering guests a choice of 127 departures to 24 destinations in 20 countries in the Eastern, Western and Southern Caribbean. The cruises range in length from four to 20 days.
