Princess Cruises’ ship Caribbean Princess arrived in Port Canaveral today, marking the launch of a new season of voyages to the Caribbean. The ship is now setting sail on a four-day Thanksgiving cruise to Turks & Caicos.

In the spirit of giving, Princess Cruises made a donation of non-perishable food items to The Sharing Center of Central Brevard. Nearly two tons of food will support local families in need.

“Today we celebrate the arrival of Caribbean Princess to Port Canaveral, one of the premier ports in cruising, and proudly support the local community,” said John Padgett, President of Princess Cruises. “Port Canaveral offers fantastic facilities and is easily accessible for our guests, whether they choose to drive, fly, or take advantage of our exclusive Rail & Sail program with Brightline.”
