Princess Cruises has announced its Europe season for 2028, described in a press release as the largest deployment for that region in Princess history.
Featuring 291 departures across 150 itineraries, the season will include sailings throughout Northern Europe, the Mediterranean and Transatlantic voyages.
Booking is now open for seven- to 53-day sailings, visiting 128 destinations in 37 countries and featuring 32 late-night or overnight stays.
"At Princess, we continue to see strong interest in Europe itineraries that offer both iconic destinations and more time for meaningful experiences ashore," said Jim Berra, Princess Cruises chief commercial officer.
"Our 2028 Europe season gives guests the broadest range of Europe options we've ever offered, including new calls in Ireland, more opportunities for immersive cultural experiences, and the introduction of our 53-day Pole-to-Pole Odyssey."
Six ships sailing from 13 departure ports will be the Caribbean Princess, Enchanted Princess, Majestic Princess, Regal Princess, Sky Princess and Sun Princess.
The season will feature maiden calls to Galway and Killybegs, on Ireland's western coast.
Another highlight is the Pole-to-Pole Odyssey, linking Antarctica and the Arctic in one voyage.
Some of the signature shore experiences available throughout the season allowing for deeper immersion include pasta making with an Italian family, exploring Indigenous Sami traditions in Arctic Norway and artisan workshops at Royal Delft in the Netherlands.
Northern Europe
The Northern Europe itineraries focus on smaller ports and authentic cultural connections, for a less commercialized experience, Princess said.
In addition to Norway's fjords and Ireland's west coast, the cruises will feature late-night and overnight stays in destinations including Stockholm, Hamburg, Tromsø, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Belfast and Reykjavik.
Mediterranean
Mediterranean voyages combine Europe's iconic destinations with immersive local experiences.
Guests can explore ancient ruins in Athens, Pompeii and Ephesus, discover cities such as Barcelona, Lisbon, Dubrovnik and Florence.
They can also take advantage of late-night and overnight stays in ports including Istanbul, Mykonos, Ibiza, Valletta, Split, Lisbon and La Spezia (Florence/Pisa).
Transatlantic Voyages
The company's Transatlantic voyages connect Europe with North and South America while sailing at a slower pace.
Routes feature calls to destinations including the Canary Islands, Madeira, the Azores, Bermuda and Morocco, and the new Pole-to-Pole Odyssey.
Princess is offering an early booking bonus June 2 through October 12, 2026, for the 2028 Europe season.
Guests can get $500 instant savings, a stateroom location upgrade, up to $500 onboard credit, early access to dining reservations, reduced $100 deposits and early access to arrival groups, plus extra savings for Captain's Circle members.
