FT.
LAUDERDALE, Fla., Aug. 26,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Travelers around the world
are taking advantage of flexible work arrangements and making the
most of their time by combining vacation and work—in fact, 74% of
Americans who work from home said they would consider taking a
"workcation," according to a recent Harris Poll data. With the
recently announced MedallionNet Max, now is the time to book a
longer voyage with Princess Cruises with the ability to stay
persistently connected while exploring the world.
Available in Princess Plus and Princess Premier packages,
MedallionNet Max offers enhanced onboard Wi-Fi to meet the growing
demands of today's digitally connected travelers. While featured on
all Princess voyages, it provides even greater flexibility on
longer journeys, allowing guests to explore remote corners of the
globe without fear of missing out, along with iconic ports, and
historic landmarks on curated voyages from Princess, including
World Cruises, Journeys Far & Away,
Immersive Itineraries, and Ocean
Crossings.
"Today's travelers are increasingly drawn to longer, more
immersive experiences, often in remote or bucket-list destinations,
without wanting to disconnect from their digital lives," said
Terry Thornton, Chief Commercial
Officer of Princess Cruises. "MedallionNet Max ensures that
connectivity is never an issue, and when combined with the Princess
Premier package, which offers unlimited beverages and specialty
dining, it makes longer voyages not only feasible but incredibly
rewarding."
