Six reasons to book an all-inclusive cruise

If you’re planning a holiday on a strict budget, or simply like to know total costs in advance, then choosing one of our all-inclusive fares is a no-brainer. Pay upfront and select Princess Plus (£50 per person per day) or Princess Premier (£75 per person per day) at the time of booking your cruise or at any point before your departure. You can upgrade your package before sailing, too. Along with lots of onboard extras, our all-inclusive options include crew appreciation, so you can be assured that it won’t be an additional cost come disembarkation.

You can expect your ship to go off the beaten track – isn’t that why you love to cruise? – but that means you can’t rely on mobile internet for the whole of your journey. Our all-inclusive packages include MedallionNet Max, our highest performing Wi-Fi service that gives you priority access to the best-quality bandwidth available wherever you are in the world.

So you can freely send photos to loved ones back home, stream your favourite shows and google the best things to see and do in your next port of call, Princess Plus includes MedallionNet Max for one device per person, while Princess Premier covers up to four devices per person. Those not sailing on an all-inclusive fare can get the MedallionNet Classic package for $24.99 per day for a single device plan or $44.99 per day for a multi-device plan.

Allowing you to truly put your feet up this holiday, Princess Premier and Princess Premier include limitless OceanNow delivery. Run out of suncream? Simply place an order on the Princess Cruises app and our crew will bring it to your deck lounger straight from the onboard boutique. If you fancy a late-night pizza feast in your stateroom, then you can have it delivered to your door, while cocktail hour can be any time and any place – your balcony at lunchtime, the top deck at sunset… You name it and we’ll be there with your favourite tipple.

Speaking of tipples, whether you’re in the mood for a freshly made juice, an extra-hot cappuccino or a flute of ice-cold prosecco, our all-inclusive drinks packages will quench your thirst. With Princess Plus, you’re entitled to up to 15 drinks per day (drinks costing up to $15), while Princess Premier includes unlimited drinks throughout your itinerary (drinks costing up to $20). Select glasses of wine are included, and both packages entitle you to 25 per cent off all bottles. Bottoms up!

Our Standard Princess fare includes the food at our World Fresh Marketplace buffet and formal dining rooms, as well as our takeaway pizza, grill and ice cream parlour out on deck. With Princess Plus, you can also enjoy two casual meals at the likes of Alfredo’s and Gigi’s pizzerias, while Princess Premier includes unlimited casual meals and unlimited speciality meals. Try delicious dishes such as penne with braised short rib at Sabatini’s Italian Trattoria, herb-crusted lobster tail at The Catch seafood eatery and indulgent chocolate lava cake at our brand-new Love by Britto restaurant.

It’s easy to lead a leisurely life onboard – you’re there to relax, after all! But if pre-dinner piña coladas, mid-afternoon scoops of silky gelato and slices of margherita pizza by the pool mean you’re keen to burn off a few calories, then be sure to attend an onboard fitness class. Princess Plus includes two classes per guest per sailing, from yoga to muscle stretching, while Princess Premier guests can sign up for as many classes as they like.
