Princess Cruises has canceled more than three months of cruises from Galveston, Texas.

The cruise line scrapped all sailings between November 2026 and March 2027 aboard its Majestic Princess ship. At least a dozen itineraries were impacted, according to CruiseMapper.

Princess attributed the changes to its “broader global fleet deployment strategy.”

“We sincerely regret any inconvenience this may cause our guests and appreciate their understanding as we work to enhance our global cruise offerings,” the cruise line told USA TODAY in an emailed statement.

Princess issued full refunds to guests booked on the voyages and is “actively assisting them with alternative cruise options, including other sailings from Galveston and a variety of Caribbean itineraries.” The cruise line’s Regal Princess ship will sail all planned cruises from the Texas port through and including March 15, 2026.

“We remain committed to delivering exceptional vacation experiences and look forward to welcoming guests aboard Majestic Princess in its soon-to-be-announced deployment,” the cruise line added. Cruise cancellations are relatively unusual but can happen for a number of other reasons, including when a ship is chartered or needs to go to dry dock.
