Princess and Brightline Unveil New 'Rail & Sail' Program Offering Affordable, Convenient Transportation and Luggage Express Service for Guests Sailing from Florida Ports

New Customized Train Wrap Design, Special Limited Time Offer Herald New Partnership

ORLANDO, Fla., April 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Princess Cruises, the world's most iconic cruise brand, and Brightline, the intercity passenger rail seamlessly connecting travelers to top destinations and major events in Central and South Florida, have joined forces to introduce the innovative Rail & Sail program, offering guests swift and hassle-free access to Princess cruise ships departing from two popular Florida homeports – Fort Lauderdale and Orlando (Port Canaveral).

With Rail & Sail, guests enjoy a seamless journey in luxurious comfort, arriving at their preferred homeport in significantly less time than traditional travel methods.

The announcement also included the debut of a train with four custom-designed cars adorned with Princess' iconic Love Boat branding, complete with its signature seawitch logo and depictions of popular ports of call. Princess' branding will also be featured within Brightline's five terminals throughout Florida.

Also announced was a value-added luggage express service offering guests the ultimate convenience as their bags are checked at their Brightline station and are waiting for them securely in their stateroom upon arrival to the ship.

One step closer to Supertrain!

More seriously, the facts that a) they're including motorcoach transfers between the train and the port, and b) you can check your bags prior to boarding Brightline and they will go directly to your stateroom on the ship, are potent ( at least to me, who just got home from a cruise).
