New Bon Voyage Programme From Princess!

Princess Cruises is debuting a new programme that gives passengers the chance to invite their friends and family aboard their cruise ship on embarkation day to wish them “bon voyage” and get a taste of the onboard experience. Called the “Bon Voyage Experience,” the programme is a new twist on the departure celebration of bygone days, when friends and family would often come onto the ship to see off passengers.

The Bon Voyage Experience lets passengers extend an invitation to their guests to join them onboard during sailing day for a four-course dining room lunch with wine, a ship tour and even a souvenir photo. Passengers and their guests can enjoy priority embarkation and will be able to spend around four hours together on the ship before it sets sail. The cost is $39 per person, which can be applied toward a future Princess cruise. It will debut in March in the ports of Los Angeles and Fort Lauderdale, and then roll out to New York, San Francisco and Seattle.

“Long-time cruisers will recall the fun of the bon voyage send-off with their family and friends, and we’re excited to re-introduce a new, modern version of this experience,” said Jan Swartz, Princess Cruises executive vice president.
