Princess Cruises has announced its biggest European deployment to date, with the launch of its Europe 2028 season featuring 291 departures across 150 itineraries.
The record-breaking season will include cruises throughout Northern Europe, the Mediterranean and Transatlantic routes, offering travelers an unprecedented range of destinations and experiences across the continent.
Largest European Program in Company History
The 2028 Europe season will feature sailings ranging from seven to 53 days, visiting 128 destinations across 37 countries.
Additionally, guests will have access to 32 late-night and overnight port stays, allowing more time to explore popular destinations beyond traditional daytime visits.
According to Princess Cruises, the expanded program reflects growing demand for immersive travel experiences and longer stays in culturally significant locations.
Six Ships to Sail Across Europe
The deployment will include six vessels operating from 13 departure ports across Europe.
The ships scheduled for the season include:
- Caribbean Princess
- Enchanted Princess
- Majestic Princess
- Regal Princess
- Sky Princess
- Sun Princess
Together, these ships will offer a diverse range of itineraries covering both iconic tourist destinations and lesser-visited regional ports.
New Destinations in Ireland
One of the highlights of the season is the introduction of maiden calls to Galway and Killybegs on Ireland’s western coast.
These new destinations expand Princess Cruises’ presence in Ireland and provide travelers with access to scenic coastal communities, local culture and authentic regional experiences.
Pole-to-Pole Odyssey Debuts
The company is also introducing its new 53-day Pole-to-Pole Odyssey voyage.
This unique itinerary connects Antarctica and the Arctic in a single journey, creating one of the most ambitious cruise experiences ever offered by the line.
The voyage reflects growing interest in expedition-style travel and long-duration cruises among experienced travelers.
Northern Europe Highlights
Northern Europe itineraries will focus on smaller ports and deeper cultural immersion.
Guests can explore Norway’s famous fjords, Ireland’s western coastline and a variety of Northern European cities.
Several ports will feature late-night or overnight stays, including:
- Stockholm
- Hamburg
- Tromsø
- Amsterdam
- Copenhagen
- Belfast
- Reykjavik
These extended stays allow travelers additional time to experience local attractions, dining and cultural activities.
Mediterranean Voyages Offer Iconic Experiences
Mediterranean cruises will combine world-famous landmarks with local cultural experiences.
Passengers can visit historic destinations such as Athens, Pompeii and Ephesus while also exploring cities including Barcelona, Lisbon, Dubrovnik and Florence.
Furthermore, overnight stays will be available in ports such as Istanbul, Mykonos, Ibiza, Valletta, Split, Lisbon and La Spezia.
Transatlantic Sailings Connect Continents
Princess Cruises will also offer a range of Transatlantic voyages linking Europe with North and South America.
