Sandie Posted January 21, 2015 #1 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Hi everyone, Just wondering if anyone knows when the fall 2016 Transatlantic sailings will be announced by Princess. Often those sailings come out in March, but other lines have already announced their itineraries. Thanks for the help. Sandie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted January 21, 2015 #2 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Probably in the next few months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted January 21, 2015 #3 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I would say by mid April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipfriend_max Posted January 21, 2015 #4 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I think last year they have been released around March. This year it should be at the same time... I am also waiting for the 2016 itineraries, especially Transatlantic and Canada/NE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Woobstr112G Posted January 22, 2015 #5 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Mid to late March.....:):):) Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AzEileen Posted January 23, 2015 #8 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I am waiting for 2016 British Isles schedules to be released. When they finally are published, is it best to book ASAP or wait to see if a fare reduction occurs? This will be our first Princess cruise unless HA can match the spectacular itinerary!

AKman2495 Posted January 23, 2015 #9 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I booked my TA for this September on March 11, 2014.....I would expect the same time frame for 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they finally are published, is it best to book ASAP or wait to see if a fare reduction occurs? This will be our first Princess cruise unless HA can match the spectacular itinerary! In recent years it has turned out that booking as soon as possible is the best choice. If fares drop prior to your final payment your travel agent can get you the new rate. That was true on the transatlantic that we have booked for this October/November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandie Posted January 24, 2015 Author #11 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I booked my TA for this September on March 11, 2014.....I would expect the same time frame for 2016. Thanks for the specifics on the date. That helps gauge when the new itineraries should be out. I appreciate you looking up that information. Enjoy your cruise!

Sandie Posted February 15, 2015 Author #12 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Hi all, Since we are getting close to March, I thought I would check to see if anyone has heard anything about the transatlantic itineraries for fall of 2016.

whatcruiseisnext Posted February 15, 2015 #13 Share Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) We are anxiously awaiting the release of the schedules for 2016 as we want to book a TA as well. A couple days ago I did a search on these boards to see if I could see when someone posted the release of the schedules for 2015. They are usually posted as soon as someone gets one from their TA and prior to being open for booking. I found that the Europe 2015 schedule was posted on Cruise Critic on February 18, 2014. Soooo.....I am hoping we will find out any day now. We booked our British Isles cruise on March 16, 2014 for Jun 2015.

CruizinCupcake Posted February 15, 2015 #14 Share Posted February 15, 2015 My TA has told me that Europe and Transatlantic will open up for booking on March 19th. We have told her what we want and she will book it as soon as it opens up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icat2000 Posted February 16, 2015 #15 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Thanks for the information. I can't wait to see the schedules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busy Mum Posted February 16, 2015 #16 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I rang Princess Australia last week to see when Alaska 2016 would be released - I was told the 'new brochure will be coming out some time between April & May' - so not before then. I was shocked given that it will be only be 12 months out for when we are looking for an Alaskan cruise. Celebrity schedules have been out for weeks - just wish Princess would hurry up!! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted February 16, 2015 #17 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I am looking forward to the announcement so we can plan our 2016-17 leave.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandie Posted February 16, 2015 Author #18 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Thanks to everyone for the updated information. The March 19th date is the best news yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted February 16, 2015 #19 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Thanks to everyone for the updated information. The March 19th date is the best news yet! Yes, just hope there is something special that will suit my budget.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipfriend_max Posted February 16, 2015 #20 Share Posted February 16, 2015 My TA has told me that Europe and Transatlantic will open up for booking on March 19th. We have told her what we want and she will book it as soon as it opens up. Thanks for the information! But in recent years, prior to the booking dates, there has always been a list which ship sails which itinerary - with dates and ports. Will we have anything like that again for 2016??

I am sure there will be! These are not released by Princess to the general public but from TA's who receive the info from Princess and pass on to their clients.

Rare MicCanberra Posted February 16, 2015 #23 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Yeah that's what I meant! Hopefully something like that will be released soon! That would be great if they did that, at least to give us a start on planning.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipfriend_max Posted February 16, 2015 #24 Share Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) That would be great if they did that, at least to give us a start on planning.:D Yeah I'd really appreciate it!! ☺️ but I think for next season we will have it again soon. Any information when Canada/NE for fall 2016 will be released? BTW: I could figure out the possible dates for Emerald Princess from Southampton in 2016, based on port schedules for next year: -Apr 02: Transatlantic -Apr 16: Western Europe -Apr 26: Canaries -May 07: Norway -May 14: Med -May 28: Norway -June 04: Baltic -June 18: Norway/North Cape -July 02: Norway -July 09: Baltic -July 23: Med -Aug 06: Norway/North Cape -Aug 20: Med -Sep 04: Med -Sep 18: Med -Sep 30, or Oct 01: Western Europe to Med, than transfer via Suez Canal/Middle East to Asia and Australia... Hope this helps a littlebit...😊 Edited February 16, 2015 by celebrity_fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
