Princess Cruises adjusts two 2025 world cruises
Princess Cruises has announced revised itineraries for its two 2025 World Cruises due to ongoing shipping security issues in the Red Sea and surrounding area.
The cruise line says it has been in talks with global security experts and government authorities before making the adjustments.
The two world cruises will no longer visit the Middle East or Asia
They will now offer new port calls in Africa and Europe.
“These global events beyond our control have necessitated these reroutings but we are pleased to retain destination-rich itineraries along the west Africa coast and the Mediterranean,” the cruise line said.
Island Princess World Cruise
Sailing on Island Princess, the 116-day world cruise offers departures from Ft. Lauderdale and Los Angeles in January 2025.
The revised itinerary between February 16-April 9, leaves Sydney and will travel to Melbourne and Perth, then on to South Africa.
From there, the cruise resumes the scheduled itinerary starting in Valletta, Malta on April 9.
Those guests scheduled to originally depart or join the cruise from Dubai on March 14, 2025, will now embark or disembark four days earlier on March 9, in Cape Town, South Africa.
These guests disembarking in Cape Town will be refunded the amount equivalent to four days of the cruise fare and receive a $300 onboard credit as a gesture of good will.
Crown Princess World Cruise
Departing from Down Under, Crown Princess is scheduled to depart Auckland May 31, 2025; and Sydney June 4, 2025; and sail on a 113-day voyage to 22 countries.
This cruise will also bypass the Red Sea and surrounding region, including the transit of the Suez Canal.
The ship will travel via Africa instead of the Red Sea and Asia itinerary and the fully revised itinerary is currently being finalised.
