“Due to its popularity, we are extending the Sky Princess' ex-UK season with six new itineraries. We are confident that guests and the trade alike will feel excited to have even more choice of sailings from Southampton with incredible fares that you just can't refuse.

“We are extremely appreciative of the support from our trade partners and we look forward to continuing this strong booking period together as we head into the 2021 wave season.”

On all cruises guests can choose to upgrade to the all-inclusive added value fare 'Princess Plus', which includes premium drinks, the best Wi-Fi at sea and gratuities for only an extra £35pp per day.

Princess Cruises is taking the worry out of booking through its 'Book with Confidence' policy, providing flexibility to guests by making it easier to change plans if necessary. Under this policy, for bookings made by March 2, 2021, guests can cancel up to 30 days prior to sailing for voyages departing through October 31 2021, and receive cancellation fees back as a Future Cruise Credit.
