No matter which sailing you pick, going all-inclusive is easy - and certainly won't break the bank.

At £30 per person per day, the all-inclusive Princess Plus package includes the premium drinks package, unlimited MedallionNet Wi-Fi and crew appreciation.

It's worth more than £70 a day for guests who pay for these items individually in advance of their cruise or onboard!

Tony Roberts, vice president of Princess Cruises UK and Europe, said: “After a challenging couple of years for international travel, we’re excited that guests can finally look forward to a ‘Real Holiday’ once again.
