Reduced deposits and bonus onboard credit available on Princess cruises for the next 7 days from Monday 9th March 2026.
Each year around Shane’s birthday, a small tradition takes place.
Princess Cruises often runs a short sailing around that time and Shane and his family usually take the opportunity to celebrate at sea - this year it is on the Discovery Princess. Over time, this has also become the perfect moment to align one of the S.W. Black Travel exclusive Princess Cruise Sale Weeks.
Thanks to Commodore status with Princess, S.W. Black Travel is able to extend a small number of exclusive cruise sale weeks to clients each year.
This year is no different.
Shane’s Birthday Cruise Sale Week is now live and will run for the next 7 days (from the 9th to the 16th March 2026), giving travellers access to reduced deposits and bonus onboard credit on a wide range of Princess cruises.
For anyone considering a Princess sailing, it’s one of the best opportunities of the year to book.

Why Many Travellers Choose Princess
Princess Cruises has long been known for offering a balance of excellent itineraries, comfortable ships and well-designed onboard experiences.
Many travellers appreciate the relaxed atmosphere onboard, quality dining options, and the convenience of visiting multiple destinations without needing to constantly pack and unpack.
It’s one of the reasons Princess remains a popular choice among Australian cruise travellers.
A Limited-Time Opportunity
Because Shane’s Birthday Cruise Sale Week only runs for 7 days, it’s a good opportunity to secure a sailing while also receiving additional onboard credit and reduced deposits.
Travellers considering a future cruise to Alaska, Japan, Europe or closer to home in Australia and the South Pacific may find this week a particularly good time to start planning.
