Princess Cruises make Cruising Plane Sailing with new Partnership

Princess Cruises Partners with Jet2.com to Offer Convenient Mediterranean Travel in 2025

Princess Cruises has announced an exciting new partnership with Jet2.com, the UK’s third-largest airline, to provide enhanced travel options for guests embarking on Mediterranean cruises in 2025. Through this collaboration, guests can now secure flights from four regional airports—Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, and Newcastle—directly to the Mediterranean, simplifying their journey to the Majestic Princess.

Seamless Travel with Plane Sailing

Utilising Princess Cruises’ air travel booking service, Plane Sailing, guests can easily combine their Mediterranean cruise with a regional flight. The service offers a seamless booking experience, ensuring all flights include 22kg of hold luggage and 10kg of hand luggage per person.

To further enhance convenience, a dedicated white-label website allows guests to book their Jet2.com flights, manage their reservations, pre-book seating, and purchase additional luggage—all using their cruise booking reference. This integration provides an all-in-one solution for planning the perfect Mediterranean escape.

A Commitment to Excellence

Eithne Williamson, Vice President of Princess Cruises UK and Europe, emphasised the significance of this partnership: “These flight allocations with Jet2.com allow our guests to coordinate their air travel with their cruise itinerary, enhancing their holiday planning experience and offering greater flexibility and security. This collaboration underscores Princess Cruises’ commitment to providing exceptional service and convenience, making it easier for our guests to start their dream Mediterranean cruise from a location closer to home.”

She continued, “Jet2.com is known for its award-winning customer service and extensive flight network, which aligns perfectly with Princess Cruises’ dedication to delivering a premium holiday experience. With limited availability on flights and Princess Cruises’ 2025 Mediterranean season in high demand, we encourage guests to secure their flight and cruise whilst they can, to ensure they don’t miss out.”
