Written by Shane Black | 27 June 2024 12:04:00 PM

When it comes to booking a dream cruise vacation, savvy travellers know that timing and price are everything. In a groundbreaking move, Princess Cruises has introduced the “Better than Best Price Guarantee” to give travellers absolute confidence in securing the best deals for their 2025 and 2026 voyages. 

Starting from July 1 and running until September 2, 2024, this new offer ensures that guests who book early are getting the most value for their money, with the added security of price protection.

A Commitment to Value and Service

Princess Cruises has always been synonymous with exceptional service and luxurious experiences. The introduction of the “Better than Best Price Guarantee” is a testament to their commitment to providing unparalleled value to their guests. Terry Thornton, Princess Cruises' chief commercial officer, highlights the significance of this initiative: "Our new guarantee underscores the Princess commitment to offering unparalleled value and exceptional service to guests…value that is unmatched by land-based vacations."

This innovative guarantee comes at a time when booking volumes for 2025 voyages are already nearly 30% higher than in previous booking cycles. For travellers, this means that securing a spot early is more important than ever. By booking now, guests not only lock in the best rates but also ensure they have access to their preferred dates and destinations.

 

 

 

How the "Better than Best Price Guarantee" Works

The "Better than Best Price Guarantee" is designed to give travellers peace of mind. Here’s a detailed look at how it works:

  • Booking Period: Guests must book their cruise between July 1 and September 2, 2024, for any departure in 2025 or 2026.
  • Price Comparison: If a guest finds a lower publicly available price for the same Princess cruise, stateroom category, and sail date before the final payment, they can submit a Guarantee Claim Form.
  • Onboard Credit: Princess Cruises will honour the lower rate and provide 120% of the difference in the form of an onboard credit.

This means that not only will guests get the best price, but they will also receive additional onboard spending money, enhancing their cruise experience with more opportunities for dining, excursions, and other activities.

The Benefits of Booking Early

Booking early with Princess Cruises comes with numerous advantages beyond just securing the best price. With all 16 ships in the Princess fleet offering well-appointed staterooms, world-class dining, grand performances, award-winning casinos, luxurious spas, and imaginative experiences, guests can look forward to a premium vacation.

Luxurious Accommodations and World-Class Dining

Princess Cruises is renowned for its luxurious accommodations and exceptional dining experiences. Each ship in the fleet offers a variety of staterooms, from interior cabins to lavish suites, all designed to provide maximum comfort and elegance.
