SANTA CLARITA, Calif.,
Aug. 26, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Due to
the continued progression of COVID-19 and related decisions of
various governments, health authorities, and airlines regarding
travel restrictions, Princess Cruises is extending its pause in
cruise operations in Australia
through December 12, 2020 which
includes cruises throughout Australia and New
Zealand.
Guests who have paid in full on these cancelled
voyages will receive a refundable Future Cruise Credit (FCC)
equivalent to 100% of the cruise fare paid plus an additional
non-refundable bonus FCC equal to 25% of the
cruise fare paid. To receive the above FCCs, no
action is required by the guest or their travel advisor.
For guests who have not paid in full, Princess will Double the
Deposit, providing a refundable FCC for the money currently on
deposit plus a matching bonus FCC that can be used on any voyage
through May 1, 2022. The matching
bonus FCC is non-refundable, will not exceed the base cruise fare
amount of the currently booked cruise, and will have a minimum
value of $100 per person.
Alternatively, guests can forfeit the bonus
FCC offer and request a refund for all
money paid on
their booking by using this online
form. Guests have until September 30,
2020 to elect a refund, or they will automatically
receive the default offer listed above.
Princess will protect travel advisor commissions on bookings for
cancelled cruises that were paid in full, in recognition of
the critical role they play in the cruise line's business and
success.
The most current information and instructions for booked guests
affected by these cancellations, and more information on FCCs and
refunds, can be found online at Information on Impacted &
Cancelled Cruises.
