Princess Cruises has updated its Princess Plus and Princess Premier packages, introducing a new international pricing tier that includes Crew Appreciation for Australian-sourced guests cruising aboard ships operating in US dollars.
Australian homeport pricing remains unchanged
For guests cruising aboard Princess ships operating in Australian dollars, pre-cruise pricing remains at $79 per person per day for Princess Plus and $129 per person per day for Princess Premier, with no change to current inclusions.
For Australian-sourced guests cruising aboard ships where onboard purchases are charged in US dollars, new packages will be available at $89 per person per day for Princess Plus and $139 per person per day for Princess Premier, with Crew Appreciation now included in the package price rather than charged separately.
Princess Cruises senior director of sales and marketing Asia Pacific Nicholas Ferguson said the change gave advisors greater cost certainty to offer clients.
“By including Crew Appreciation in our Plus and Premier packages for Australians cruising internationally, advisors can offer their clients greater certainty around the cost of their holiday upfront, while retaining the benefits and value they’ve come to expect from Princess,” Ferguson said.
Premier package retains beverage and dining inclusions
Princess Premier includes the Premier Beverage Package, unlimited casual and specialty dining, four-device Wi-Fi, waived OceanNow and room service delivery fees, unlimited digital photos, reserved theatre seating and a shore excursion credit based on voyage length. Princess Plus includes the Plus Beverage Package, single-device Wi-Fi, four casual dining meals per voyage, and waived OceanNow and room service delivery fees.
For guests purchasing Wi-Fi separately, Princess will introduce a new two-device Wi-Fi plan for $40, while the four-device MedallionNet package will no longer be available for standalone purchase and will remain exclusive to Princess Premier.
The updated packages go on sale 13 October 2026 for applicable voyages sailing on or after that date.
