Princess Cruises has announced its return to San Juan, Puerto Rico for a season of Southern Caribbean cruises onboard Grand Princess, from October 2025 through March 2026. These seven-day cruises, which visit more ports than any other 7-day Princess cruise to the Caribbean, go on sale May 16.

"Our return to San Juan after more than a decade not only reconnects our guests with a port rich in history and charm, but further expands the variety of departure points across North America that our guests can sail from," said Princess chief commercial officer Terry Thornton.
Originally scheduled to sail Australia, New Zealand and South Pacific voyages from Brisbane and Sydney, Grand Princess will now sail two alternating, seven-night itineraries, with departures from October 12, 2025 - March 29, 2026. Guests can choose to combine itineraries for a 14-day voyage.
These new itineraries each feature visits to five different and unique destinations, including many of the most highly rated Southern Caribbean destinations—many of which are not available on 7-day cruises departing from Florida. Ports include Tortola, St. Thomas, St. Kitts, St. Maarten, Dominica, Grenada, Antigua and Barbados.

Guests can enjoy a truly personalized vacation with Princess MedallionClass, featuring next-level technology with MedallionNet, including strong WiFi, food and drinks delivered wherever they are, touchless experiences and more.
Enhancing the vacation value with Princess Plus and Premier inclusive packages allow guests to save over 65% on essentials such as gratuities, Wi-Fi, beverages, and more, providing added convenience and enjoyment for their journey.
