Exploring the past at Yorktown, Va with Princess Cruises

Sunday, 11 Feb, 2023 0

For the first time ever, Princess Cruises will call at Yorktown, Va. and Virginia’s Historic Triangle.

As part of a series of custom itineraries in the summer of 2024, it offers opportunities to experience Colonial Williamsburg and Jamestown.

Princess Cruises is planning five day-long calls – three via Island Princess and two via Emerald Princess.

Additional cruises are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.

“Yorktown offers not only a glimpse at the Revolutionary War but also dining, shopping and activity options with wide-ranging appeal,” said John Padgett, president of Princess Cruises.

The new itineraries launch as interest slowly builds ahead of events commemorating the 250^th anniversariy of the Declaration of Independence.

“Our community is rooted in history. We are honored that Princess Cruises sees the value in bringing their customers to Yorktown,” said Kristi Olsen-Hayes, Director, York County Economic & Tourism Development.

Princess will work with local tour operators to showcase the historical region.
