Please be aware of several important Princess policy updates that will go into effect on Sept 2, 2026, for new bookings made on or after Sep 2, 2026, for voyages sailing Jan 1, 2027 and beyond. These updates include changes to the final payment due date, deposit schedule and cancellation schedule. The updates apply to all voyage lengths and all trades.

We wanted to provide this information early so you have time to review the updates and make any necessary adjustments ahead of the September 2, 2026 go-live date.

What’s changing….

Final Payment Due Date

Final payment will now be due 120 days prior to sailing for all applicable voyages. This applies to all voyage lengths, including World Cruise and Circle Pacific segments. Bookings will automatically cancel if final payment is not received by the due date. Final payment reminders will continue to be sent prior to the final payment due date.

Deposit Schedule

The standard deposit schedule has been updated. For 7-day voyages, the standard deposit will increase from $250 to $300 per guest for Inside, Oceanview, Balcony and Mini-Suite categories. Suite deposits will increase from $500 to $600 per guest.

Cancellation Schedule

The cancellation schedule has also been updated to align with the new 120-day final payment due date. A key change is that the 100% cancellation fee will now apply at 60 days or less prior to sailing, compared to the previous 30-day threshold on certain shorter voyages.
