Captain's Circle

The Captain's Circle is the past passenger loyalty program, or cruise club, of Princess Cruises. By booking a Princess cruise with us, we are able to honor all Captain's Circle benefits that Princess offers you, plus we can give you added amenities that they won't (like Onboard Credit, Cash Back and/or Pre-Paid Gratuities, depending on your particular reservation). If you'd like to take advantage of Captain's Circle benefits you must book with us over the phone and (prior to pricing anything out) mention to the reservations agent that you are a Captain's Circle member. This will ensure that you will get the best deals possible!
