New York Cruises with Princess Cruises

Where Do Princess Cruises Go from New York?

Princess Cruises uses New York as a genuine hub — not just a turnaround port. The bulk of sailings here are East Coast USA itineraries, exploring the American seaboard north and south of the city. Transatlantic crossings make up the next largest group, with a handful of Caribbean and Central America sailings rounding out the programme. Durations run from 7 to 42 nights, with a median of 13 — most trips land somewhere in the fortnight range, long enough to feel like a proper voyage.

Which Routes Are Available?

East Coast USA

The biggest group of sailings here sticks to the US eastern seaboard, with New York at the heart of each itinerary. These round-trip and one-way sailings are well suited to travellers who want to combine a sea voyage with time in port along the coast. New York cruises from the UK in this region are particularly popular with British travellers looking to make the most of a transatlantic trip.

Transatlantic Crossings

Transatlantic sailings with Princess Cruises connect New York with ports on the other side of the Atlantic, including Copenhagen, Denmark as one embarkation point. Southampton is also used for some departures — and from Southampton, most of the UK can board by road or rail, with no airport involved. If you are looking at a one-way transatlantic crossing, a flight home from your final destination will be needed; our team can book that alongside transfers and a hotel if you want to extend either end. See also Transatlantic cruises for a broader view of what is sailing.

Caribbean

A selection of Princess sailings links New York to the Caribbean, making it possible to combine a city visit with a warm-water cruise. Several of these end in Florida — at Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades) or Miami. Worth knowing: Fort Lauderdale and Miami are about half an hour apart, so a Florida trip can sail from either — it is worth checking both for dates and prices. For UK travellers combining this with pre- or post-cruise time in the Caribbean, our Caribbean cruises with New York stays page may be exactly what you need. Caribbean cruises from the UK cover the full range of lines and departure points if you want to compare.

Central America

A small number of sailings extend the itinerary into Central America, giving those with longer to spend a more ambitious voyage. These tend to be the longer departures in the programme and suit travellers who want to see more of the Americas in one trip.

Where Do These Sailings Depart From?

New York is the main embarkation port, used for the majority of departures. Southampton is used for a smaller share — around 1 in 6 sailings — and for those, no flight is needed. Most of Britain can reach Southampton by road or rail, making it one of the more convenient options for a UK cruiser. For sailings departing further afield, Quebec City, Canada, Vancouver, British Columbia, Los Angeles, California and Copenhagen, Denmark all feature as embarkation points. A return flight or onward travel from the final port will be needed for one-way sailings; we can sort that alongside your cruise.

If you are starting from Southampton, also consider the range of cruises from Southampton more broadly, or if you want a shorter taster, 3-day mini cruises from Southampton are a good way to try the sailing life before committing to a longer voyage. For sailings specifically in 2027, 2027 cruises from Southampton has everything in one place.

One-Way vs Round-Trip — Which Is Right for You?

Just over half the sailings here are one-way, which means you board in one port and disembark in another. This gives you the freedom to fly in, cruise, and fly home from a completely different destination — or to turn the whole thing into a longer holiday with stops at either end. Round-trip sailings return you to New York, which suits those who want to keep things simple or who plan a longer stay in the city before or after. About half the sailings here are round-trip, so there is a solid spread of both shapes.

The Ships Sailing These Routes

Five Princess ships carry these sailings, each with a different character. Here is what to expect on board the main ones.

Regal Princess

Regal Princess accounts for the largest share of sailings on these routes. She is a Royal-class ship built for 4,250 guests, with 19 decks, a Princess Theater, Vista Lounge and a multi-level atrium at the centre of the ship. Dining covers everything from the Salty Dog Gastropub and Crown Grill steakhouse to the International Café, which stays open around the clock. MedallionClass technology means food and drinks can be ordered and delivered wherever you happen to be on board, and Movies Under the Stars and The Sanctuary adults-only retreat give the day a natural rhythm. For cabin choices on Regal Princess, the Regal Princess cabins and deck plans page has the detail.

• Inside cabin IA — 15.4 m², available across decks 9 to 14, giving you flexibility on whether you prefer peace and quiet or easy access to bars and pools.
• Ocean-view cabin O6 — 20.9 m², noticeably more spacious than the inside grade, with a window to the sea.
• Deluxe Balcony cabin D4 (aft) — around 22.5–29 m², the most spacious deluxe balcony option on board.
• Penthouse Suite S3 — 54.5–63.4 m², considerably more room than a mini-suite, with balcony access and space for 4 guests.

Coral Princess

Coral Princess is a different proposition: her slim 91,627-GT build lets her reach narrower waterways and smaller ports that the larger ships simply cannot access, which makes her well suited to itineraries where the routing is as important as the ship itself. The Universe Lounge features 3 revolving stages used for cabaret, cooking demonstrations, fashion shows and lectures. Crown Grill and Sabatini’s Italian Trattoria handle premium dining, and The Sanctuary provides the adults-only retreat on deck. Check the Coral Princess cabins and deck plans for the full breakdown of grades.

• Inside cabin IA — 14.5 m², with middle-deck positions offering minimal ship motion and good access to central areas.
• Sea-view cabin O5 — 19.7 m², with a large panoramic window and unobstructed sea view.
• Premium Balcony cabin B1 — around 23 m² including balcony, roughly 50% more space than a standard balcony cabin.
• Premium Suite S5 — 43.7 m², with a separate seating zone and considerably more living space than a mini-suite.

Majestic Princess

Majestic Princess was refurbished in 2025 and sails from Southampton, which makes her the natural choice for UK travellers who want to board without flying. She carries the SeaWalk — a glass-floor walkway cantilevered out over the ocean — and the Hollywood Pool Club’s glass-domed pool. Across 16 venues, options include Crown Grill, Sabatini’s, O’Malley’s Irish Pub and Chef’s Table Lumiere. MedallionClass delivers food and drinks anywhere on board, and The Sanctuary sits at the top of the ship for those who want a quieter space.

• Owner’s Suite S2 — 81.7 m², the largest suite on board, offering almost twice the living space of a Penthouse Suite.

Caribbean Princess and Sky Princess

Caribbean Princess is a modified Grand-class ship with nearly 900 balcony staterooms, MedallionClass wristband technology, Movies Under the Stars and a Princess Theater hosting large-scale productions. The Caribbean Princess cabins and deck plans cover the full grade range.

Sky Princess has one of the highest balcony ratios in the Princess fleet — 81% of cabins include a private balcony — alongside Crown Grill, Sabatini’s, Chef’s Table Lumiere and Movies Under the Stars. The Sanctuary adults-only deck offers private cabanas and spa treatments. Explore the Sky Princess cabins and deck plans for the specifics.

What Discounts Are Available?

Most sailings here carry a reduction from the price previously listed for that cabin grade — with savings up to 41% on one departure. That headline figure applies to a single sailing; across the programme, most reduced fares are discounted by around 18%. Prices start from £559 pp* for the entry-level cabin grade on the shortest sailings, so there is a wide range to work with depending on how long you want to be at sea and which ship and cabin grade suits you best.

Shore Visits and Excursions

Time in port is one of the most rewarding parts of any Princess itinerary, and New York itself rewards as much time as you can give it. Beyond the city, East Coast USA sailings typically include a range of ports within reach for half-day or full-day excursions. Our team can help you plan shore time around your sailing, whether that means booking a tour in advance or simply advising on which ports suit independent exploration. Ask when you call.
