Princess Cruises

Holland America Line and Princess cruises will be requiring guests onboard their ships to wear face masks during sailings to Alaska.

“Out of an abundance of caution due to the rise in positive COVID-19 cases throughout Alaska, all guests will be required to wear face masks at all times while onboard, except when eating or drinking or in their own staterooms,” stated Holland America Line about the recent change.

Princess Cruises will be welcoming guests back onboard three of its ships, the Crown Princess, Island Princess, and Royal Princess.

With the addition of these three ships back in service, it means about 80% of Princess Cruises’ fleet is back in service following the shutdown of the pandemic. Currently Princess Cruise Line has 12 of its ships in service.
