Princess just announced its biggest Europe season ever, and it’s not the only line going all in for 2028

The lineup adds first calls to Galway and Killybegs and includes a 53-day Pole-to-Pole Odyssey as cruise lines expand Europe capacity.

  • On Tuesday, June 2, 2026, Princess Cruises announced its largest-ever Europe season, featuring 291 departures across 150 itineraries with six ships sailing from Northern Europe to the Mediterranean, visiting 128 destinations in 37 countries.
  • The 53-day Pole-to-Pole Odyssey links Antarctica and the Arctic in one voyage, while the line will make its first calls to Galway and Killybegs on Ireland's western coast.
  • Early booking bonuses are available through October 12, 2026, offering up to $500 in instant savings and onboard credit, plus reduced $100 deposits for Captain's Circle members.
  • Princess Cruises Chief Commercial Officer Jim Berra said the schedule includes 32 late-night or overnight stays, designed to give travelers more meaningful experiences ashore.
  • Industry data shows almost 90% of cruisers intend to sail again, positioning Europe as a year-round cruising destination rather than a seasonal summer event.
