Princess Cruises is extending its Australasia cruise pause through to 17 January 2022 due to the uncertainty around the return of cruising in the region.
As a result of the extension, Coral Princess voyages through to 27 January 2022 are cancelled and Royal Princess and Sapphire Princess seasons through to March 2022 are being cancelled.
"It became apparent we would not be able to deliver planned deployment of Royal Princess and Sapphire Princess in Australia before they were due to start their published northern hemisphere voyages," said Deanna Austin, Princess Cruises Chief Commercial Officer. "
We recognise that guests planning cruises over the popular summer and New Year holiday period will be particularly disappointed with the changes, however, we wanted to give guests as much notice as possible."
Guests booked on a cancelled cruise have the option to move to an equivalent cruise.
The rebooking process protects the guests’ fare on their replacement cruise or alternatively, guests can choose a future cruise credit (FCC) equivalent to 100% of the cruise fare paid plus an additional non-refundable bonus FCC equal to 10% of the cruise fare paid.
A full refund to the original form of payment is also offered
The cruise line will protect travel agent commission on bookings that were paid in full.
