SANTA CLARITA, Calif.,
March 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --
While Princess Cruises continues to work with various
United States and Canadian
government officials to try to preserve a portion of the
Alaska 2021 cruise
season, the company is extending its pause of cruise
vacations for sailings from Seattle through June
27, 2021.
The pause in operation affects seven-day Alaska Inside
Passage cruises on Emerald Princess and Majestic Princess.
For guests booked on a cancelled voyage, Princess
will offer to move guests to the equivalent cruise
in 2022. The rebooking process will have the added benefit of
protecting the guests' 2021 fare on their 2022 voyage.
Alternatively, guests can choose a future cruise credit
(FCC) equivalent to 100% of the cruise fare paid plus an additional
non-refundable bonus FCC equal to 10% of the cruise fare paid
(minimum $25 USD) or a full refund to the original form
of payment.
Requests must be received through this online form by
April 15, 2021 or guests will
automatically receive the FCC option. FCCs can be
used on any cruises booked by and sailing by December 31, 2022.
Princess will transfer the commission earned by travel
agents from the cancelled 2021 cruise to the new booking
in 2022 for bookings that were paid in full. This
convenience is 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.
