SANTA CLARITA, Calif. (Dec. 5, 2016) – Princess
Cruises
today announced its Shore
Excursions Best Price Guarantee is available on thousands of the
award-winning tours in ports the cruise line visits worldwide. The
program launches fleetwide and guarantees if guests find the same shore
excursion
elsewhere at a lower price, they will receive 110 percent of the difference in
the form of non-refundable onboard credit.
“Our new Best Price Guarantee on shore
excursions gives guests satisfaction that they are receiving competitive and
fair pricing while enjoying an exceptional experience ashore,” said Bruce
Krumrine, vice president of shore excursions for Princess Cruises. “We find our
guests rate their overall cruise vacation experience higher when they take our
shore excursions because we handle every detail for them so they can easily
explore the world and take home lifelong memories of the places they visit.”
The new Best Price Guarantee is being
announced to Princess guests through pre-cruise e-mails and on Princess.com and
is available to guests who book their excursions with Princess pre-cruise. If
guests find an equivalent shore excursion at a lower price, the request can be
submitted at least seven days prior to the sailing date to shoreexcursions@princesscruises.com for review by the
Shore Excursion customer service team. Within two business days, guests will be
notified if their request meets the Best Price Guarantee criteria. If it does,
110 percent of the price difference will be applied in the form of a
non-refundable onboard credit.
The Best Price Guarantee only applies to
shore excursions that are advertised with pricing and publicly available. It
applies to all shore excursions, with the exception of Asia, Southeast Asia and
Japan ports, and excludes private vehicle and driver excursions in ports
worldwide.
Princess Cruises was
recently awarded “Best Cruise Ship Excursions” by Global Traveler Magazine
and “Best Cruise Line for Shore Excursions” in the 2016 Cruise Critic Editors’
Picks awards. The cruise line offers guests more than 4,000 shore
excursions in
360 destinations around the globe, on more than 150 itineraries.
