Caribbean Princess Launches Exciting Homeporting Program at Port Canaveral

Princess Cruises celebrated the arrival of the Caribbean Princess at Port Canaveral on November 27, 2024, launching the Caribbean cruise season from this Central Florida homeport. The ship embarked on a four-day Thanksgiving cruise to Turks & Caicos. In a gesture of goodwill, Princess Cruises donated nearly two tons of non-perishable food items to The Sharing Center of Central Brevard to support local families in need.

John Padgett, president of Princess Cruises, expressed excitement over the ship’s arrival, stating, "Today we celebrate the arrival of Caribbean Princess to Port Canaveral, one of the premier ports in cruising." The inaugural winter schedule from Port Canaveral includes 19 additional cruise departures to the Eastern and Western Caribbean, offering voyages from six to eight days.

Captain John Murray, CEO of Port Canaveral, added, "We’re beyond thrilled to welcome the beautiful Caribbean Princess to Port Canaveral, a cruise line our guests have been requesting for a long time."
