Guided by Guest Feedback, Princess Cruises Updates Premier & Plus Packages

Princess Cruises has announced updates to its Premier and Plus packages effective for bookings made beginning July 22 for voyages sailing in 2026.

The cruise line says the updates offer greater flexibility and benefits and come as a result of guest feedback. The refreshed packages now include highly requested additions such as extra casual dining options and shore excursion credits. Less popular elements of the packages have been removed.

For the new packages, the Princess Premier Package pre-cruise pricing will be $100 per person per day (previously $90) while the Princess Plus Package pre-cruise pricing will be $65 per person per day (previously $60). 

For new Sphere class ships, Sun Princess and Star Princess, pre-cruise pricing will be $105 per person per day for Princess Premier Packages and $70 per person per day for Princess Plus Package. Princess says the packages offer savings between 50%-70% compared to purchasing the components separately.

“By thoughtfully evolving our packages, we’re ensuring they reflect what our guests truly desire, more flexibility, enhanced culinary experiences, and opportunities to explore ashore, all the while retaining the exceptional benefits they’ve come to expect,” said Alfredo Jimenez, Princess Cruises VP, Onboard Revenue. 

“Ultimately, it’s about delivering an even more rewarding and personalized vacation experience.”

Highlights of the package updates include:

Premier Package: Adds a new shore excursion credit, varying by voyage length: $100 (6–9 days), $200 (10–20 days), and up to $300 for voyages of 21+ days. The package still includes unlimited Premier Beverage Package, unlimited casual and specialty dining, four device wi-fi, fees waived for OceanNow and room service delivery, unlimited digital professional photos, reserved seating for theatrical shows, and daily crew appreciation.

Plus Package: This package now features two more casual dining meals per voyage, for a total of four. The package still includes the Plus Beverage Package, single device wi-fi, fees waived for OceanNow  and room service delivery, and daily crew appreciation.

To make way for these guest-inspired enhancements, Princess says select package features with lower usage — such as premium desserts, juice bar access, Medallion shipping, fitness classes, and Princess prizes — will be removed.
