Fly Cruises with Princess Cruises in 2026

What to Expect from Princess Fly Cruises in 2026

All the sailings here fly you out to join the ship — there is no UK embarkation port involved. That means the cruise itself is the centrepiece of a longer trip, and at Cruise1st we build everything around it: flights from your nearest airport, a hotel the night before or after, transfers between the airport and the pier, and any tours you want along the way. You can put it all on one booking rather than juggling half a dozen suppliers. Durations run from 10 nights to 28 nights, with a median of 17 nights — these are proper holidays, not quick breaks.

Where Do These Sailings Go?

The biggest concentration of Princess fly cruises in 2026 is in the Caribbean, which dominates departures from late autumn through to the end of the year. Florida is the main gateway: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades) handles the largest share of embarkations, with Port Canaveral also featuring. It is worth noting that Fort Lauderdale and Miami are about half an hour apart, so a Florida trip can work from either port — both are worth checking. San Juan, Puerto Rico rounds out the Caribbean options as a disembarkation point. For a Christmas or New Year sailing, the Caribbean at Christmas 2026 page is a good place to start alongside this one.

Southeast Asia is the second-largest grouping. Singapore features both as an embarkation point and as a disembarkation port, and several sailings pass through the wider Southeast Asia region. Paired with this, East Asia sailings depart from Yokohama (the port for Tokyo), making Japan a realistic starting point for a longer Pacific voyage. Cruises from Singapore in 2026 and our Southeast Asia 2026 page give you the fuller picture across all lines.

Australia and New Zealand account for a solid cluster of sailings. Ships disembark in Sydney, and itineraries reach into New Zealand and further across the South Pacific into Polynesia. If you are planning a long-haul trip to this part of the world, our Australia 2026 fly cruises and Australia and New Zealand 2026 cruises pages sit alongside this one. Sydney 2026 sailing options are also worth a look if Sydney is your target port.

Rounding out the programme, a South America sailing ends in Buenos Aires, and there are options along the East Coast USA departing from New York. The Mexican Riviera and the Western Caribbean each add further variety at the edges of the programme.

Are There Any Discounts on These Sailings?

A good number of the sailings carry a reduced fare measured against the price previously listed for that cabin grade. On the strongest deal you will find up to 40% off — though that is a single departure and very much the exception. Most reduced sailings are discounted by around 11%, which is a more realistic figure to plan around. Fare types such as early-booking offers and last-minute rates come and go, so it is worth talking to the team if you have a rough date in mind. You can also browse all-inclusive fly cruises in 2026 if you want drinks and gratuities bundled in, though note that none of the Princess sailings here are marketed as all-inclusive.

Which Ships Are Sailing These Routes?

Several Princess ships appear across these fly-cruise itineraries. Each has a distinct character, so it is worth knowing what you are getting before you book.

Diamond Princess

Diamond Princess carries the most sailings in this programme and is well suited to its Asian itineraries. The Izumi Japanese Bath is the largest Japanese-style onsen at sea — a genuine wellness draw for anyone sailing the Japan routes. Dining goes well beyond the main restaurant: Crown Grill steakhouse, Kai Sushi and Makoto Ocean by Chef Makoto Okuwa are all aboard, and MedallionClass technology means food and drinks can reach you anywhere on the ship via OceanNow®. Skywalkers Nightclub sits high above the waterline for views that match the occasion. See the Diamond Princess cabins and deck plans if you want to compare grades before booking.

Majestic Princess

Refurbished in 2025, Majestic Princess brings the SeaWalk — a glass-floor walkway cantilevered out over the ocean — alongside a Hollywood Pool Club under a glass dome and a line-up of 16 dining and bar venues including Crown Grill, Sabatini’s and O’Malley’s Irish Pub. The Sanctuary adults-only top-deck retreat is ideal if you want a quieter corner away from the pool deck. MedallionClass handles on-demand delivery of food and drinks across the ship. Cabin options range from inside cabins to the Owner’s Suite at 81.7 m² — the Majestic Princess cabins and deck plans lay out every grade in detail.

Royal Princess

Named in Southampton by HRH The Princess of Wales in 2013, Royal Princess is the flagship Royal-class ship and still one of the fleet’s most recognisable. Her SeaWalk extends 18 metres over the ocean, almost 40 metres above the waves. The Sanctuary offers a full adults-only retreat with an Enclave thermal suite, heated stone loungers and a hydrotherapy pool — a step up from a standard sun deck. Cabin grades run from a 15.4 m² inside cabin up to a Penthouse Suite with aft balcony at around 54.5 m². Browse the Royal Princess cabins and deck plans to see which grade suits your trip.

Crown Princess

Crown Princess came out of a Singapore dry dock in 2025 with refreshed dining — Crown Grill and Sabatini’s are both worth an early reservation — and a redesigned entertainment deck headlined by a new O’Malley’s Irish Pub and a reworked Gatsby’s Casino. Nearly 900 balconies and a three-storey atrium give the ship an open, spacious feel. Check the Crown Princess cabins and deck plans if you are weighing up balcony grades.

Enchanted Princess

Over 1,400 of Enchanted Princess’s cabins — 81% of the total — have a private balcony, making her one of the most balcony-heavy ships in the fleet. The 360: An Extraordinary Experience is a 7-course immersive dining journey that combines storytelling, visuals and cuisine, available only on Enchanted Princess and Discovery Princess. OceanNow delivers food and drinks via the Princess app to your balcony, sun lounger or cabin door, and The Catch by Rudi rounds out the speciality dining offer. See the Enchanted Princess cabins and deck plans for the full cabin breakdown.

Grand Princess

Grand Princess carries the Movies Under the Stars poolside cinema — Princess’s open-air giant screen with complimentary popcorn and blankets — as well as Crown Grill and an International Café open 24 hours for coffee and pastries. MedallionClass technology handles on-demand delivery across the ship. Details on grades and layouts are on the Grand Princess cabins and deck plans page.

Other ships appearing in this programme include Sky Princess, Star Princess, Ruby Princess, Discovery Princess and Enchanted Princess. Cabin plans for each are available on their individual pages: Sky Princess, Star Princess, Ruby Princess and Discovery Princess each have a deck-plan page where you can compare grades side by side.

Which Cabin Grade Should You Choose?

Princess Cruises offers four main cabin types. Here is what each gets you, using Diamond Princess as an example of the full range:

• Inside cabin (IA) — from 15.6 m², sleeps up to 4. No window, but positioned on middle decks for quiet and central lift access. The most affordable way to sail.
• Premium Ocean-view cabin (O5) — 18.3 m², sleeps up to 4. A panoramic window brings in natural daylight and a wide forward view — the meaningful step up from an inside cabin if you want light without the price of a balcony.
• Balcony cabin (B2) — 25.7 m², sleeps up to 4. Your own outdoor space with seating for breakfast at sea or sundowners in port — neither the inside nor the ocean-view cabin can match that.
• Grand Suite (S1) — approximately 123.5 m², sleeps up to 4. The largest suite aboard Diamond Princess, giving nearly twice the space of the Owner’s Suite and well suited to a long itinerary where comfort matters throughout.

Grades vary by ship, so use the deck-plan links above to check what is available on your chosen vessel before you book. Our team can also talk you through what each grade is actually like on the specific ship and sailing you are considering.

How Does Cruise1st Build a Fly-Cruise Package?

Because every sailing here departs from a foreign port — Florida, Sydney, Yokohama, Singapore or New York — you need flights, and usually a hotel the night before embarkation. As a Princess Cruises specialist, Cruise1st handles all of it. Flights from your nearest UK airport, pre- and post-cruise hotels, port transfers, tours in destination and insurance can all go on one booking through a Cruise1st Package. One call, one reference number, one place to go if anything changes. Our cruise experts are on the phone before you book to help you pick the right ship, the right cabin grade and the right fare inclusions — not just whatever happens to be cheapest. We are ABTA- and ATOL-protected, and rated 4.5/5 on Trustpilot from more than 7,000 reviews.
