Princess Cruises is offering reduced fares on almost 40 Caribbean voyages for bookings made between now and August 31, 2017. The deals, which include family and group savings, are available on select sailings departing between October 2017 and April 2018.

Third and fourth guests, including children, can travel for £99 each. Bookings for the first two guests in the same stateroom are also being reduced by up to 16%.

All cruises are on the 3,560-guest Regal Princess, which from November 2017 will be the first ever ship fitted with Ocean Medallion. The medallion, which is the same size as a 10p piece, will automatically provide information to guests during their cruise to give a more personalised onboard experience. It will also give guests real time information about onboard activities including interactive games, and allow parents to locate where their children are onboard, as well as a host of other features.

Regal Princess also boasts redesigned children's clubs and youth programme onboard, as part of the line's partnership with Discovery.  Each of the three centres has been renamed to mirror the designs:    
•        The Treehouse (formerly Pelicans, ages 3-7): forest and animal-themed
•        The Lodge (formerly Shockwaves, ages 8-12): inspired by the outdoors
•        The Beach House (formerly Remix, ages 13-17): contemporary surf-themed lounge

In addition, there will be new activities and games for children, including hands-on science experiments, mini golf tournaments, talent shows and LEGO boat-building competitions.

Families can also enjoy concerts, sporting events and blockbusters at Movies Under the Stars, a 300-square foot poolside movie theatre.

Princess offers a wide range of accommodation for families or groups, with room for up to four guests in all types of staterooms including interior, balcony and mini-suites, many with interconnecting options, making it easier for family and friends to travel together.

Tony Roberts, vice president Princess Cruises UK and Europe, said: “If you want to book your next travel adventure at a great price then look no further than our Caribbean cruise offer. Not only do the first two guests get to sail at a reduced fare, but third and fourth guests including children travel for under £100.

“As well as family saving deals being available, the Ocean Medallion will enhance the cruise experience for everyone including those guests who are travelling in a group. For instance, groups need never lose track of one another through a special 'navigate' feature that allows them to locate their party anywhere onboard. For families, this will give a little freedom to children and peace of mind for parents.”

Regal Princess will sail roundtrip from Fort Lauderdale, Florida on a 14-night Caribbean Adventurer cruise during the 2018 Easter holidays. Departing on March 25, 2018, it calls at the Bahamas, Jamaica, Cayman Islands, US Virgin Islands, St Maarten and Cozumel in Mexico. Prices start from £1,219pp for the first two guests, £99 for guests three and four.
