With the announcement from Transport Canada to remove all COVID-19 requirements to enter the country, Princess Cruises is prepared to welcome all guests on cruises visiting, arriving or departing from Canadian ports, including its Canada/New England voyages and Alaska cruises where the cruise line is the industry leader. All of Princess’ Alaska cruises feature Canada as part of the itinerary.

Canada will remove all Covid-19 restrictions for inbound travelers from Oct 1, as well as testing, quarantine, and isolation requirement. Travelers, regardless of citizenship, will not have to submit health information through the ArriveCAN app or provide proof of vaccination.

“We applaud these decisions by Transport Canada to make visiting the country easier and more convenient for all guests sailing our popular Alaska and Canada/New England itineraries, and look forward to welcoming everyone on our incredible Alaska and Canadian cruises,” said John Padgett, president of Princess Cruises.  “Alaska and Canadian cruises are among the most desired vacation options in the world, and we look forward to welcoming everyone who’s waited the past three years for this market to fully open.”

Princess is in the process of notifying guests and travel advisors of this tremendous development and is excited to welcome everyone to take an Alaska vacation in 2023.

More guests choose Princess than any other cruise line to experience the incredible glaciers, wildlife, fresh seafood and the local culture of Alaska. Princess’ 2023 cruises and cruisetours programme offers something for everyone to explore this destination, including the top-rated Voyage of the Glaciers itinerary, award-winning “North to Alaska” enrichment programme and the ultimate experience of combining a cruise with a land tour including scenic rail travel and stays at Princess-owned wilderness lodges.
