<p>SINGAPORE, 7 September 2023: Princess Cruises is expanding its environmental stewardship in New Zealand by offering funding from its Princess Local Partnerships programme to Dunedin-based Natures Wonders that helps safeguard the country’s iconic wildlife.</p>



<p>The new partnership will support building a habitat for an emerging Blue Penguin colony in Otago and preserving the last major yellow-eye penguin colony on the mainland of New Zealand.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe title="GoodePR_PrincessLocalPartners_Ver 10_FINAL_Captioned" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/851504317?h=3188c2b7be&amp;dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963" width="696" height="392" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture"></iframe>
</div></figure>



<p>Princess Cruises senior vice president Asia Pacific, UK and Europe, Stuart Allison, said the cruise line is committed to supporting conservation and culture in New Zealand by using tourism as a vehicle for regeneration.</p>



<p>“This expanded partnership will further support community-based conservation efforts in New Zealand, playing a pivotal role in protecting these treasured species for generations to come,” he said.</p>



<p>Natures Wonders owner Perry Reid added: &#8220;We are thrilled to be formalising a partnership with Princess Cruises after so many years of introducing Princess guests to the wildlife here at Natures Wonders. With the generous funding from Princess Cruises, we will build more nesting boxes for the flourishing Blue Penguin colony and extend our predator-free boundary. We expect this will greatly impact Blue Penguin numbers while preserving the neighbouring Yellow-Eyed Penguin colony as well.&#8221;</p>



<p>Launched in 2019, the Princess Local Partnerships programme is funded by guest donations and also supports Bay Bush Action in the Bay of Islands, a cause it has backed since its inception.</p>



<p>Princess Cruises will return to New Zealand with four ships for the summer cruise season commencing with Coral Princess in Auckland on 16 September. Royal Princess will make her maiden visit to New Zealand, with her first call in Tauranga on 18 October, while Majestic Princess will return visiting Auckland on 30 October. Grand Princess will also make several calls to New Zealand as part of her summer season, visiting Auckland on 17 October.</p>

<p>Each ice cream flavour is served in limited-edition, individually packaged servings, complete with a unique augmented reality (AR) activation per ice cream flavour that happens right on the cup.</p>



<p>“When I set out to create an ice cream company, I had big dreams, but I’ll admit that SMiZE Cream being able to be enjoyed at sea aboard Princess Cruises truly exceeds my dreams,” said Banks. “Our ice cream won’t just be on one cruise &#8211; it will be on the entire fleet, so my team and I are super pumped! As an entrepreneur, innovation and going above and beyond to delight customers is everything to me, so the synergies with Princess’ stance on innovation and premium experiences are the perfect match. I can’t wait for Princess Cruise passengers to delight in luxe, fun, creamy and dreamy SMiZE Cream!”</p>



<p>Starting in mid-March, guests on Princess ships will be able to order SMiZE cups via the OceanNow delivery-on-demand experience.</p>



<p>“We’re thrilled to be working with a world-renowned personality like Tyra Banks to offer SMiZE Cream across our fleet &#8212; and there’s no doubt our guests will absolutely love this indulgent super-premium treat,” said John Padgett, president of Princess Cruises. “There’s nothing sweeter knowing that with our exclusive OceanNow anywhere/anytime delivery, our guests will never have to wait in line for their favourite SMiZE Cream flavours.”</p>



<p>Princess delivers Princess MedallionClass Vacations which begins with the Medallion wearable, a quarter-sized device that enables everything from expedited contactless boarding to locating loved ones anywhere on the ship, as well as enhanced service like having whatever guests need, delivered directly to them, wherever they are on the ship. In addition, guests can share their favourite cruise moments using MedallionNet, the best Wi-Fi at sea, as well as stay connected with friends and family back home, work remotely anywhere on the ship, quickly post content and stream favourite movies and shows.</p>

<p>SINGAPORE, 31 October 2022: When the newest, largest and most innovative Princess Cruises ship – Sun Princess – debuts in February 2024, guests will set sail on a 10-day Grand Mediterranean inaugural voyage with departure options from Barcelona, Rome, and Athens.</p>



<p>The first inaugural cruise of the 175,500-ton vessel, boasting expansive venues, contemporary entertainment, multi-storey dining rooms and next-level accommodation, starts on 8 February 2024. Other Mediterranean voyages will go on sale on 9 November 2022 for voyages through September 2024.</p>

<p>The full European season aboard the new Sun Princess includes 10-day itineraries visiting popular stops throughout the Western and Eastern Mediterranean and the cruise line’s popular series of seven-day voyages departing from either Barcelona, Rome (Civitavecchia) or Athens, which can be combined for the ultimate 14-day or 21-day exploration of these sought-after vacation destinations.</p>



<p>“When you dream of the Mediterranean, you immediately think of sunshine, endless blue water views, colourful and distinctive architecture, incredible cuisine, engaging locals and romantic settings,” said John Padgett, Princess Cruises president. “It’s a perfect match having our new Sun Princess debut in this scenic region because so much of our design inspiration for this next-generation ship comes directly from these iconic destinations.”</p>

<p>The cruise line already changed its protocols on 6 September, when it removed the need for test results for vaccinated guests. This has now been updated to include unvaccinated guests. Children under five do not require pre-travel testing. Based on the cruise itinerary, the minimum age to sail is six months or 12 months.</p>



<p>The change applies to all itineraries sailing from US and European homeports except destinations where government regulations, such as Australia and New Zealand, may still have their own requirements.</p>



<p>A few sailings the cruise line calls &#8220;enhanced guidelines voyages&#8221; also continue to have their own vaccination and testing requirements. Guests are advised to continue checking their cruise requirements before booking and again before it&#8217;s time to sail.</p>



<p><strong>Canada</strong></p>



<p>On 26 September, Transport Canada announced that it was removing its COVID-19 requirements for cruise guests to enter the country effective for cruises 1 October and beyond. Visitors are no longer required to upload their information into the ArriveCAN app. Thus, protocols for cruises, including Canada, are now the same as the standard in the United States, United Kingdom &amp; Europe (this excludes any Enhanced Guidelines Voyages).</p>



<p><strong>Australia &amp; New Zealand</strong></p>



<p>If the cruise departs, arrives or visits Australia, guests 12 to 17 years old must be fully vaccinated (no booster). Guests ages 18 or older must have received primary series of COVID-19 vaccines, including one booster dose if eligible, received any time before embarkation.</p>



<p>Guests aged 18 years or older who are not up to date require a vaccination exemption to sail. Guests 12 and older not fully vaccinated on cruises departing, arriving or visiting Australia require a medical exemption and have different testing requirements. Under local protocols, prior infection with COVID-19 is not grounds for a medical exemption. Medical exemptions need to be submitted to Princess for validation before a booking can be guaranteed.</p>

<p>The themed cruise will feature martial arts experts and Olympians to engage families and enthusiasts with seminars, networking opportunities, family competitions, co-branded gear and culinary demonstrations with celebrity chefs, and shoreside martial arts events in ports of call.</p>



<p>As the outfitter and equipment provider for more than 18 million martial arts competitors and academies worldwide, FUJI Sports will now become an exclusive partner to Princess Cruises, alongside its sister brand, FUJI Mats.</p>



<p>&#8220;Princess connects people, places and cultures around the world with amazing experiences, and we&#8217;re confident this Princess and the FUJI Adventures Cruise will be an unforgettable week at sea with fantastic food, beverage and entertainment,&#8221; said Princess Cruises president John Padgett.</p>



<p>&#8220;Princess welcomes the leading brand in martial arts with millions of enthusiasts worldwide on special event cruises and to enjoy Princess cruises going forward for all their leisure travel vacations. It is a privilege to host a multi-generational multi-cultural global community focused on health, discipline, learning and wisdom.&#8221;</p>



<p>FUJI Sports and FUJI Mats is co-owned by Lia Hatashita and two-time Olympic Bronze Medalist and judo world champion Jimmy Pedro.</p>



<p>&#8220;Martial Arts is one of my life&#8217;s passions, and I share this bond across friends, families and professional engagements,&#8221; said Pedro, a two-time Olympic Bronze Medalist, judo world champion and co-owner of FUJI Sports and FUJI Mats. &#8220;This partnership with Princess recognises the significance and multi-generational reach of the martial arts community and elevates our ability to progress our mission to share martial arts experiences in fun and unique ways.&#8221;</p>



<p>&#8220;Today, over 50 years after FUJI Sports was founded, the company has expanded from a small mom-and-pop shop into a company reaching all parts of the globe,&#8221; said FUJI Sports co-owner Lia Hatashita. &#8220;What I love about the company is the passion and enthusiasm from our staff members who have deep knowledge and understanding of martial arts. And in January 2023, FUJI will take this passion to the open seas for the first time.&#8221;</p>
