Princess Cruises adds Barbados homeport for 2027 and 2028

Princess Cruises has added Barbados as a homeport in its southern Caribbean programme for 2027 and 2028, with sailings going on sale on March 5 at 8am.

Agents can package more than 30 round-trip cruises from either San Juan, Puerto Rico or Barbados with direct flights from Heathrow, Gatwick, Manchester and Birmingham.

Crown Princess will offer sailings in the region from January to March 2027, followed by Emerald Princess between November 2027 and March 2028.

The majority of itineraries are seven nights in length, with options between six and nine nights.

All voyages will have ports of call in San Juan and different combinations of island destinations throughout the season, such as Antigua, Dominica, Grenada, Martinique, St Lucia, St Kitts and Tortola.

UK, Ireland and EMEA vice-president Eithne Williamson said: “Adding Barbados as a homeport to our southern Caribbean programme provides greater choice and convenience to our guests travelling from the UK, as they can fly direct to join their Princess voyage. 

“This expansion reflects the valued feedback we continue to receive from our travel agent partners.

“It reinforces our commitment to supporting them with growing their business with Princess by offering even more variety, greater convenience, and new ways for their customers to discover the Caribbean.”
