Insights

Princess Cruises' strategic package pricing increases of 8-17% with enhanced offerings aim to boost per-passenger revenue while maintaining value perception.

Princess Cruises has implemented a strategic pricing adjustment coupled with thoughtful package enhancements that signals an important revenue management shift. The Premier Package price is increasing by 11.1% (from $90 to $100 per person daily) and the Plus Package by 8.3% (from $60 to $65). For the newer Sphere class ships, prices are even higher at $105 and $70 respectively – representing increases of 16.7% and 16.7% over current rates.

What's particularly notable is how Princess has carefully balanced these price increases with high-perceived-value additions. The Premier Package now includes shore excursion credits ($100-$300 depending on voyage length) while the Plus Package doubles its casual dining allotment to four meals. These specific enhancements address key passenger pain points – the high cost of shore excursions and limited dining flexibility – while simultaneously removing less-utilized features.

This approach reflects sophisticated yield management designed to increase per-passenger revenue without triggering price resistance. By emphasizing the 50-70% savings versus à la carte purchasing and focusing on high-demand benefits, Princess is executing a classic "value-anchoring" strategy. The timing is also strategic, announcing now for 2026 voyages, giving the market time to adjust to the new pricing structure while potentially driving near-term bookings from price-sensitive customers.

New pricing reflects added value, with more dining choices and shore excursion credits

FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla., July 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Reinforcing its commitment to putting guests at the heart of every decision, Princess Cruises today announced thoughtful updates to its popular Premier and Plus packages that go on sale tomorrow, July 22, for voyages sailing in 2026, offering even greater flexibility and benefits travelers have been asking for.

"By thoughtfully evolving our packages, we're ensuring they reflect what our guests truly desire, more flexibility, enhanced culinary experiences, and opportunities to explore ashore, all the while retaining the exceptional benefits they've come to expect," said Alfredo Jimenez, Princess Cruises Vice President, Onboard Revenue. "Ultimately, it's about delivering an even more rewarding and personalized vacation experience."

Highlights of the package updates include:
