SANTA CLARITA, Calif.,
Aug. 25, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Due
to restrictions and limitations with border and port
access determined by government and health
authorities and the
continued uncertainty of airline travel,
Princess Cruises is cancelling its early 2021 World
Cruises and Circle South America cruises on two
ships:
- Island Princess 2021 World Cruise sailing from North America, including associated segments
and remaining voyages sailing immediately prior
- Pacific Princess 2021 Circle South America sailing from
Australia, including associated
positioning cruises
"We share in the disappointment of this cancellation for guests
of our world cruises because it's a pinnacle cruise vacation
experience, booked by some of our most loyal guests," said
Jan Swartz, Princess Cruises
president.
Guests currently booked on these cancelled voyages will
receive a refundable Future Cruise Credit (FCC) equivalent to 100%
of the cruise fare paid plus an additional non-refundable bonus FCC
equal to 25% of the cruise fare paid. To receive the
above FCCs, no action is required by the guest or their
travel advisor.
Alternatively, guests can forfeit the bonus
FCC offer and request a refund for all money
paid on their booking by using this online
form. Guests have until September 30, 2020 to elect
a refund, or they will automatically
receive the default offer listed
above.
Princess will protect travel advisor commissions on bookings for
cancelled cruises that were paid in full, in recognition of the
critical role they play in the cruise line's business and
success.
The most current information and instructions for booked guests
affected by these cancellations, and more information on FCCs and
refunds, can be found online at Information on Impacted &
Cancelled Cruises.
