Princess launches £1 deposit

Princess Cruises is offering passengers the chance to secure their cruise for just £1 – for one day only – on June 12.

Guests will have nothing else to pay until 90 days before they sail. The offer is combinable with Princess’s current ‘Three for Free’ deal’ where guests get up to $500 spending money per couple, speciality dining experience and a bottle of red or white wine.

Cruises must be on or after January 1 2020.

Tony Roberts, vice president Princess Cruises UK and Europe, said: “The £1 deposit has proved incredibly popular for our agent partners, with record-breaking Princess Cruises booking days in both the previous years when the offer was available.

“We’d like to thank the trade for the great support they continue to give us for £1 deposit day and we have every confidence this year will prove equally successful. With the offer including UK-based cruises from Southampton, to far-flung fly cruises on the other side of the world, there’s a wealth of choice available to agents and their customers.”

Examples of the cruises on offer include a 16-night Summer Solstice & Spitzbergen cruise on Island Princess departing on June 9, roundtrip from Southampton. With ports of calls including Haugesund, Hellesylt, Geiranger, Tromso, Honningsvag, Longyearbyen, Trondheim, Alesund and Skjolden/Sognefjord. Prices from £1,999 per person with up to $200 onboard spending money per person, a complimentary bottle of wine and free speciality dining.
