Princess Cruises has announced that it will be returning to homeport in San Juan, Puerto Rico for a season of voyages to the southern Caribbean. The schedule will be operated by Grand Princess from October 2025 through March 2026.
“Our return to San Juan after more than a decade not only reconnects our guests with a port rich in history and charm, but further expands the variety of departure points across North America that our guests can sail from,” said Terry Thornton, chief commercial officer for Princess Cruises.
“Puerto Rico remains one of the fastest-growing destinations in the Caribbean and continues to attract new airlift from source markets across the U.S. as well as markets in Europe and South America, which makes it a great fit for Princess. Plus, there are many outstanding options to choose from for a great pre- or post-cruise stay.”
Originally scheduled to sail Australia, New Zealand, and South Pacific voyages from Brisbane and Sydney, Grand Princess will now offer two alternating seven-night itineraries from San Juan. They’ll each feature visits to five different destinations, many of which are not available on seven-night cruises from Florida.
Here are the two routes:
- Day 1: Depart San Juan
- Day 2: Tortola
- Day 3: St. Kitts
- Day 4: Dominica
- Day 5: Grenada
- Day 6: Barbados
- Day 7: At Sea
- Day 8: Return to San Juan
- Day 1: Depart San Juan
- Day 2: St. Thomas
- Day 3: St. Maarten
- Day 4: Antigua
- Day 5: St. Vincent
- Day 6: Barbados
- Day 7: At Sea
- Day 8: Return to San Juan
Guests can combine these two itineraries for a longer 14-day adventure.
The 2,600-guest Grand Princess includes signature Princess amenities like The Sanctuary and Movies Under the Stars, as well as Broadway-style productions in the Princess Theater. Travelers can choose to enhance their cruise experience by purchasing the Princess Plus or Princess Premier packages, which allow savings of over 65 percent on things such as gratuities, wifi, and beverages.
