Princess Cruises Offers Major Onboard Credits and Savings for 2026 Sailings

Princess Cruises, a consistent favorite among travelers, is rolling out significant savings for voyages this year. The line, which earned top marks in several categories in our 2025 Readers’ Choice Awards, is making it easier to experience its blend of destination-focused enrichment and relaxed, elegant atmosphere.

The current promotion provides immediate savings based on trip length. Shorter getaways of four to five days come with up to $200 off, while week-long cruises offer up to $500 in savings. For more extensive journeys of nine days or longer, passengers can save up to $1,000.

For those with more time, the line's 'Epic Voyages'—themed journeys lasting at least two weeks—present an opportunity. Bookings made by March 17, 2026, for select cruises of 40 days or more include up to $1,000 in onboard credit to spend at the ship's diverse restaurants, from casual pizzerias to the formal Crown Grill steakhouse.

Princess extends specific gratitude to military members. U.S. and Canadian veterans, active-duty, retired, and disabled personnel are eligible for up to $250 in complimentary onboard spending, depending on cruise length.

Returning guests are rewarded through the Captain's Circle loyalty program, which provides early access to new itineraries and member-only events. New passengers automatically join after their first sailing.

Additional avenues to enhance your cruise include a co-branded Visa card that offers a $200 onboard credit after meeting an initial spending threshold. The line's referral program grants both you and a friend $25 in onboard credit. Furthermore, the flexible 'EZair' flight booking option lets you reserve airfare with no deposit and free changes until final payment. Subscribing to promotional emails also nets a $50 onboard credit for your next voyage.
