5 Smart Ways to Maximize the Value of Your Princess Future Cruise Package

TM

Book Your Cruise Early for the Best Itinerary, Stateroom, and Sailing Date Options

Future Cruise Credits (FCCs) can be applied to any new Princess sailing, and the earlier you book, the better your stateroom selection, pricing, and itinerary options. Since your FCCs must be booked within 18 months of your Future Cruise Package purchase date (with travel up to 24 months after Future Cruise Package purchase date), time is on your side — but popular sailings and stateroom categories fill up fast.

Pro move: Browse princess.com for upcoming itineraries, pick your ideal sailing, then call 1-800-PRINCESS or book online and apply your FCCs at checkout. You can apply FCCs to your fare, a companion’s fare, upgrades, or Princess PlusⓇ or Princess PremierⓇ.

Book early, travel later — your FCCs give you the flexibility to plan ahead and lock in your preferred stateroom and sailing date before they fill up.

Stacking Your Benefits for One Epic Trip

Here’s where the magic happens: your Future Cruise Package is designed so that all your benefits can work together. Imagine this itinerary:

  • Use FCCs to book a Princess cruise to any destination in their world-spanning network of 300+ ports across 7 continents 

  • Apply your Onboard Credits toward shore excursions and specialty dining onboard

  • Before the cruise, redeem a 2-night hotel certificate for a pre-cruise stay near the embarkation port

  • With select Future Cruise Packages, enjoy Promotional Onboard Benefits during the cruise

  • After the cruise, use a 5-night Premium Stay certificate for a resort vacation

  • Between cruises, use Hotel Credits to save on hotel stays for any trip you take during your 24-month Future Cruise Package term.

Use Hotel Credits for Everyday Travel, Not Just Big Trips

Hotel Credits are one of the most versatile and rewarding parts of your Future Cruise Package—and one of the most flexible. Available on thousands of hotels worldwide through the Princess Promotions booking engine, Hotel Credits reduce the cost of nearly any stay – weekend getaways, family visits, business trips and more.

The platform always shows the lowest public rate and then applies a portion of your Hotel Credits on top — so you’re saving on an already-competitive price. Hotel Credits are available throughout your full 24-month Future Cruise Package term.

Think of Hotel Credits as your travel savings account — available anytime, anywhere you need a hotel room.

Earn While You Spend in the Princess Promotions Marketplace

Select Future Cruise Packages earn additional Future Cruise Credits on merchandise and wine purchases in the Princess Promotions Marketplace. Earn rates range from 5% up to 25% depending on your Future Cruise Package.

These earned Future Cruise Credits are applied to your account on the 15th of the month following the purchase, making the Princess Promotions Marketplace not just a shopping destination, but a way to extend your cruising power.

Flexibility When Plans Change: Know Your Cancellation Rights

Every Future Cruise Package comes with a cancellation window: 7 days for most customers (30 days for Florida residents, 15 days for Washington residents), with a full cash refund guaranteed. Just call 1-800-PRINCESS, option 5.

The bottom line: your Princess Future Cruise Package is built for Princess guests who want flexibility, value, and unforgettable experiences. Whether you’re planning one dream trip or multiple getaways over the next two years, we’re here to help you every step of the way.
