Princess Cruises has recently announced a groundbreaking partnership with Brightline intercity passenger rail to offer a unique “Rail and Sail” program for their guests embarking on cruises from Fort Lauderdale and Port Canaveral. This collaboration is set to revolutionize the travel experience for cruisers, providing a seamless and convenient way to reach their cruise ship.
Brightline will showcase a specially designed train featuring four cars adorned with Princess Cruises’ Love Boat branding, complete with the iconic sea witch logo. In addition, Princess branding will be prominently displayed at five terminals along the Florida rail line. This attention to detail aims to create a sense of excitement and anticipation for guests from the moment they step onboard.
Exclusive Discounts and Benefits
Guests opting for the Rail and Sail packages through Brightline’s website will enjoy a discount of up to 15%, making it an attractive option for travelers seeking a hassle-free journey. Moreover, Princess Cruises is offering additional incentives for those booking a cruise before May 5, including a credit of up to $150 per person for Brightline’s Smart and Premium service, depending on the stateroom type reserved.
Brightline operates daily with 16 roundtrip transits between Orlando and Fort Lauderdale, with convenient stops in West Palm Beach and Boca Raton along the way. South Florida residents will appreciate the access to Brightline from downtown Miami and Aventura terminals, with stops at Fort Lauderdale and Orlando as well. To further enhance the guest experience, the rail company will provide complimentary motorcoach service between the station and the embarkation terminal, ensuring a smooth transition for travelers.
Efficient Luggage Service
One of the standout features of this partnership is the option for guests to have their luggage delivered directly to their stateroom for a nominal fee of $35 per bag. This hassle-free service, known as Luggage Express, will initially be available on Orlando-to-Fort Lauderdale trains, with plans to expand to Fort Lauderdale-to-Orlando trains in preparation for the Caribbean Princess’ arrival and homeport at Port Canaveral later this year.
The collaboration between Princess Cruises and Brightline rail represents a game-changer in the travel industry, offering guests a seamless and enjoyable journey from the moment they depart their homes to their ultimate cruise destination. With exclusive discounts, enhanced branding, convenient travel options, and efficient luggage services, this partnership is set to redefine the cruise experience for travelers in the Fort Lauderdale and Port Canaveral regions.
