Princess Cruises has added more sailings to the Caribbean after the debut of Sky Princess at Port Canaveral, marking the cruise line’s first Royal-Class ship to homeport at the Central Florida gateway.
The arrival signals the start of an extended season of Caribbean cruises specifically positioned for travelers seeking departures from the Orlando, East Coast area.
Voyages from Florida’s East Coast
Beginning this week and running through March 2026, Sky Princess will operate six- and eight-day round-trip sailings from Port Canaveral. Princess Cruises has already confirmed the ship will return for a second season from Nov. 2026 through March 2027, with all voyages now open for booking.
Port Canaveral is within easy reach for clients driving in from across the Southeast, flying into Orlando International Airport or connecting through Brightline via Princess’s exclusive Rail & Sail program.
“Building on the success of our inaugural Caribbean season from Port Canaveral, we’re delighted to return to the Space Coast for another series of sailings,” said Jim Berra, Princess Cruises Chief Commercial Officer, in a press statement. “Our guests appreciate the convenience of cruising from Central Florida, and with the addition of Sky Princess, we’re pleased to offer even greater capacity and even more ways for guests to enjoy the Princess experience.”
You can also package itineraries into 14-day combinations, giving cruisers access to ports including Turks & Caicos, Puerto Rico, St. Thomas and Amber Cove, among others.
“Princess Cruises is a valued partner and we’re very proud of the success they’ve had sailing from our Port,” said Port Canaveral CEO Capt. John Murray, in a media statement. “Sky Princess is a great addition to the lineup of cruise options from Central Florida. We look forward to delivering a high-quality guest experience for everyone sailing on this stunning new ship.”
