Northern Europe
Princess’ Northern Europe itineraries focus on smaller ports, dramatic landscapes and cultural connections, creating experiences that feel more personal and less commercialised.
They include visiting Norway’s breathtaking fjords, discovering Ireland’s rugged west coast through maiden calls to Galway and Killybegs.
Late-night and overnight stays are featured in destinations including Stockholm, Hamburg, Tromsø (Northern Norway), Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Belfast and Reykjavik.
Mediterranean
Princess’ Mediterranean voyages combine Europe’s most iconic destinations with local experiences that go beyond postcard moments.
They include exploring ancient ruins in Athens, Pompeii, and Ephesus before discovering the energy and charm of cities such as Barcelona, Lisbon, Dubrovnik, and Florence.
The season also features a strong lineup of late-night and overnight stays in dynamic ports including Istanbul, Mykonos, Ibiza, Valletta, Split, Lisbon and La Spezia (Florence/Pisa).
Transatlantic Voyages
Princess’ Transatlantic voyages are positioned as a relaxed, seamless alternative to flying, making long-haul travel part of the vacation itself. These sailings connect Europe with North and South America while allowing guests to settle into the journey at a slower, more enjoyable pace. Routes feature calls to destinations including the Canary Islands, Madeira, the Azores, Bermuda, Morocco, and the new Pole-to-Pole Odyssey.
