Princess Cruises Extends Pause of Cruise Vacations in Australia Through 
                               Mid-January 2022 
 
SANTA CLARITA, Calif. (September 21, 2021) - Princess Cruises, the world's 
leading international premium cruise line,  is extending its pause in cruise 
vacations in Australia/New Zealand to January 27, 2022, due to the uncertainty 
around the return of cruising in the region. 
 
As a result of the pause extension, Coral Princess voyages through January 17 
are cancelled and Royal Princess and Sapphire Princess seasons through to March 
2022 are being cancelled. 
 
"It became apparent we would not be able to deliver planned deployment of Royal 
Princess and Sapphire Princess in Australia before they were due to start their 
published northern hemisphere voyages," said Deanna Austin, Princess Cruises 
Chief Commercial Officer. "We recognize that guests planning cruises over the 
popular summer and new year holiday period will be particularly disappointed 
with the changes, however, we wanted to give guests as much notice as possible 
so they could plan their holidays with certainty." 
 
For guests booked on a cancelled cruise, guests have the option to move to an 
equivalent cruise. The rebooking process will have the added benefit of 
protecting the guests' fare on their replacement cruise. Alternatively, 
guests can choose a future cruise credit (FCC) equivalent to 100% of the cruise 
fare paid plus an additional non-refundable bonus FCC equal to 10% of the 
cruise fare paid (minimum $25 USD) or a full refund to the original form of 
payment. 
 
Requests must be received through this online form by October 31, 2021, or 
guests will automatically receive the FCC option. FCCs can be used on any 
cruises booked by December 31, 2022, and sailing by April 30, 2023. 
 
Princess will protect travel agent commission on bookings that were paid in 
full in recognition of the critical role they play in the cruise line's 
business and success. 
 
The most current information and instructions for booked guests affected by 
these cancellations, and more information on FCCs and refunds, can be found 
online at  Information on Impacted & Cancelled Cruises.
