Princess Cruises will head to Texas next autumn, operating Western Caribbean cruises from Galveston during the autumn 2012 to spring 2013 cruise season.
The line will also cruise from Fort Lauderdale and offer several ways to sail through the Panama Canal, including full and partial transits.
The Crown Princess will be based in Galveston, sailing seven-day itineraries to Costa Maya, Mexico; Roatan, Honduras; Belize; and Cozumel, Mexico. Trips will run between December 22nd, 2012, and April 27th, 2013. Currently, Carnival and Royal Caribbean run cruises from the Gulf of Mexico port.
Based in Fort Lauderdale, Ruby Princess, Caribbean Princess, Emerald Princess and Grand Princess will sail Eastern and Southern Caribbean itineraries.
In addition, Coral Princess and Island Princess will offer eight itinerary options on Panama Canal sailings, including both full and partial Canal transits. Several trips include two-day canal visits – a full canal transit combined with a full day at Fuerte Amador, at the Pacific entrance to the canal. These 14- and 15-day itineraries sail between Fort Lauderdale and Los Angeles or San Francisco.
