For the first time, Princess Cruises will be offering a series of Colonial Heritage itineraries featuring Yorktown, Virginia, along with calls to Charleston, Boston, and Halifax out of New York City next summer.
The line is also expanding its Canada and New England cruisetour program in 2024, which will include voyages aboard Emerald and Enchanted Princess. Select itineraries will also include stops in three ports in Greenland.
Debuting in 2024, the new summer Colonial Heritage sailings are highlighted by the cruise industry’s first stops in Yorktown, a town that serves as the gateway to Colonial Williamsburg and Jamestown. Charleston, Halifax, and Boston are also included on Island Princess’ 10 and 11-day itineraries, which will take place in June 2024. These sailings will open for booking on May 25th.
Princess is also offering a number of firsts for its 2024 Canada/New England schedule, including a 17-day itinerary on Emerald Princess that combines east coast ports with three day-long visits to ports in Greenland. These sailings complement the line’s fall foliage departures, which will be seven to 17-day cruises out of Boston. These voyages are open for booking now.
