The Captain's Circle is the past passenger loyalty program 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 and/or discounts that they won't. 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!
There are three Captain's Circle levels: Gold, Platinum, and Elite. Please see below for specific details about each level.
