Sky Princess has arrived at its new homeport in Port Canaveral, Florida, set to begin a season of Caribbean cruises. It is the first of Princess’s Royal-Class ships to sail from the popular port.

From now through March 2026, Sky Princess will offer six- and eight-day Caribbean cruises, sailing roundtrip from Central Florida. The ship is scheduled to return next year for a second November 2026-March 2027 season – and all cruises are on sale now.

Port Canaveral offers easy accessibility for guests driving, flying, or taking advantage of Princess’ exclusive Rail & Sail program with Brightline.

“Building on the success of our inaugural Caribbean season from Port Canaveral, we’re delighted to return to the Space Coast for another series of sailings,” said Princess Chief Commercial Officer Jim Berra.

“Our guests appreciate the convenience of cruising from Central Florida, and with the addition of Sky Princess, we’re pleased to offer even greater capacity and even more ways for guests to enjoy the Princess experience.”

Sky Princess itineraries can be combined into 14-day voyages visiting the  islands of Turks & Caicos, Puerto Rico, St. Thomas, Amber Cove, and much more.

“Princess Cruises is a valued partner and we’re very proud of the success they’ve had sailing from our Port,” said Port Canaveral CEO Capt. John Murray. “Sky Princess is a great addition to the lineup of cruise options from Central Florida. We look forward to delivering a high-quality guest experience for everyone sailing on this stunning new ship.”

The 3,660-guest, 141,000-ton Sky Princess elevates the distinctive, contemporary design and attractions of Princess’ renowned Royal-class ships. From award-winning cuisine and dynamic entertainment to elegantly appointed accommodations, Sky Princess delivers unforgettable experiences designed for today’s most discerning travellers.
