Port Canaveral has welcomed another new ship to its homeported fleet with the arrival of Princess Cruises’ Sky Princess, which began a winter season of six- and eight-day Caribbean sailings on Sunday afternoon.

The ship follows the Caribbean Princess, which homeported at Port Canaveral last year, and upsizes Princess’ offerings in the port.

The Caribbean Princess will return to Port Canaveral in 2026 joining Sky Princess on Caribbean and Bahamian sailings.

“Princess Cruises is a valued partner and we’re very proud of the success they’ve had sailing from our Port,” said Port Canaveral CEO Capt. John Murray. “The Sky Princess is a great addition to the lineup of cruise options from Central Florida. We look forward to delivering a high-quality guest experience for everyone sailing on this stunning new ship.”

“Building on the success of our inaugural Caribbean season from Port Canaveral, we’re delighted to return to the Space Coast for another series of sailings,” said Jim Berra, chief commercial officer at Princess.

“Our guests appreciate the convenience of cruising from Central Florida, and with the addition of Sky Princess, we’re pleased to offer even greater capacity and even more ways for guests to enjoy the Princess experience.”
