Lucky clients, lucky you! – this golden offer is
coming Tuesday, March 15
Hi everyone,
Here’s a chance for your clients to find a bag of gold at the end of the rainbow with our 72-hour St. Patrick’s Day Sale on Summer 2022 cruises. When they book from Tuesday (Mar 15) through Thursday (Mar 17) they can get $50 onboard spending money per guest1 – but this offer is only for 72 hours.
This also combines with our Summer On Sale savings of up to 40% off on Summer 2022 sailings2, which when you put the two offers together adds up to more like a pot o’ gold. And if they book with Princess Plus^ fares, they’ll also enjoy drinks (with bar charges included), Wi-Fi and crew appreciation included. Don’t forget these great perks are commissionable because they are included in the fare – so there’s a little extra gold in it for you!
For those looking to sail from the West Coast, they can choose from cruises to Alaska, Mexico, California Coast and Hawaii – including just announced sailings roundtrip from Los Angeles on Sapphire Princess, our first summer season from L.A. There are also great options to the Caribbean, Canada & New England and Europe.
Don’t let your clients’ luck run out! Use our sales tools to get them ready to book between Mar 15-17 – and who knows, there might just be a celebratory green beer waiting for you!

Final Payment due date changes for Europe 2022.
We are pleased to announce that we are changing the Final Payment due date to 60-days prior to sailing on all remaining June and July 2022 Europe cruises that are currently outside of final payment.
The change will be effective Friday, March 11th and will cover cruises departing between June 9th and July 23rd 2022. Note that cruises sailing between June 9th and June 23rd may have already had final payment notices go out with current final payment guidelines. These will not be enforced.

Changes to requirements for mask-wearing and for kids under 5
Some significant – and very encouraging – changes have been implemented on our ships that you and your clients should know about:
- Masks on board will be recommended but not required. There may, however, be certain venues and events where masks will be required. Learn
More ❯
- We're now pleased to welcome children under 5 (who are not yet eligible for vaccination). They will be excluded from the 95% calculation for operating vaccinated cruises as defined by the CDC for voyages departing from the U.S. Protocols for unvaccinated guests will apply. Learn
More ❯
Clarifying exemptions and pre-travel testing
For most voyages departing from the US and Canada, we manage an exemption
process for a small number of guests who are ineligible for vaccines. All exemptions
are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Children under 5 years-old are not required to apply for a vaccine exemption. If your clients wish to request an exemption, please
call 1-800-PRINCESS.
In addition, with the recent update to the CDC program for cruising, guests that are "up to date" on their COVID-19 vaccines benefit from more flexibility when it comes to pre-travel testing. Learn More ❯
Princess to restart cruising in Canada
We’re pleased to share that we'll be returning to Canada for our full season of cruising! The Canadian government recently issued initial protocols for travel. We’ll share details on updated health protocols for cruising as soon as possible. In the meantime, we encourage you to utilize our sales tools to promote our amazing itineraries that include visits to Canada, including:
Alaska Cruises & Cruisetours ❯ California Coast ❯ Canada & New England ❯
Hawaii ❯ Tahiti & South Pacific ❯ See Destination Sales Tools ❯
As health & safety protocols continue to evolve, we encourage you to visit our CruiseHealth page ❯ for the latest information.

New pro basketball-branded Medallions are a slam dunk
Sports fans love to show their colors and now when they sail on a Princess MedallionClass vacation, they can showcase their pro basketball loyalties, thanks to a licensing agreement between Princess Cruises and NBA and WNBA Properties.
The addition of the NBA/WNBA customizations gives your clients more than 175 Medallion options to personalize their Medallion across a variety of categories including celebrations, birthstones, destination landmarks, pets, traveler flags, zodiac signs, and more. Customizations are $5 and are ordered pre-cruise through the MedallionClass app.
