Calling all globetrotters and adventure seekers! Princess Cruises has announced some important revisions to the itineraries for its highly anticipated 2025 World Cruises aboard Island Princess. These changes prioritize guest safety and ensure an unforgettable travel experience, offering new port calls in captivating destinations across Africa and Europe.
Navigating Global Events: Prioritizing Guest Safety
In light of the ongoing situation in the Red Sea and surrounding areas, Princess Cruises has made the prudent decision to reroute the 2025 World Cruises. This decision comes after extensive consultations with global security experts and government authorities.
“A Princess World Cruise is truly the voyage of a lifetime, and after careful consideration with guidance from global security experts and government authorities, we know our guests will understand and appreciate the change to our upcoming 2025 itineraries to avoid certain areas,” stated Terry Thornton, Chief Commercial Officer of Princess Cruises. “These global events beyond our control have necessitated these reroutings, but we are pleased to continue to ensure these world cruises retain destination-rich itineraries with incredible stops along the West Africa coast and the Mediterranean.”
