Princess Cruises is the first cruise line to launch an AI planner on ChatGPT.

Princess Cruises Becomes First Global Cruise Line to Launch Innovative Agentic Travel Planning App in ChatGPT

Princess Cruises has officially announced the release of its native app within ChatGPT, providing reliable, real-time cruise planning directly on the leading artificial intelligence platform. This step puts the brand at the forefront of LLM-based cruise discovery while keeping travelers directly connected to the company's booking ecosystem.



Commenting on the development, Neena Vicente, Vice President of Digital Commerce and Experience at Princess Cruises, noted: «There is a broader shift in travel discovery as consumers increasingly use generative AI not simply to find information, but to help evaluate choices and plan increasingly complex trips. This launch places Princess at the forefront of agentic commerce in the cruising industry, creating a new entry point into cruise discovery that inspires guests to find the vacation that is right for them».

In turn, Mobi CEO Andrew Bohr emphasized: «Princess has been incredibly forward-thinking in how AI will change the way travelers discover and interact with brands. Being the first global cruise line to directly embed their expertise into an LLM application reflects that vision. The foundation they are laying today will give them a real advantage in the market».

How Princess Cruises Integrates Artificial Intelligence into Cruise Planning

Thanks to the native LLM app, ChatGPT can now connect directly to up-to-date information and services on the official Princess Cruises website. For users, this creates a simple and seamless experience.

By tagging @princesscruises and adding the Princess app to ChatGPT, travelers can use everyday natural language to explore over 330 cruise destinations across 17 ships in the fleet, instantly check prices and availability, and refine their plans within a single conversation.

Using the integrated tool, guests can easily perform the following tasks:

• Find cruises by preferred destination, date, and duration.
• Compare Princess itineraries and ships.
• Explore ports of call, shore excursions, cruisetours, onboard entertainment, and special packages.
• Check current cruise pricing and cabin availability in real time.
• Narrow down choices based on individual vacation preferences.

Examples of user-friendly prompts to use in dialogue with the system:
• «@princesscruises Find me 7-day cruises visiting Santorini in August 2027».
• «@princesscruises Help me plan an Alaska cruise for next summer».

The interactive format allows travelers to naturally evolve their plans. For example, a guest searching for an Alaska cruise can follow up by asking which options visit Glacier Bay National Park, which ships depart from Seattle, or how two similar itineraries differ — all within a single uninterrupted conversation.

For her part, Rosemary DeAragon, Head of Technology & Consumer Industries at OpenAI, noted: «We are building ChatGPT to help people move from discovery to action. The Princess Cruises app brings that experience into the cruise industry, demonstrating how AI platforms and travel brands can work together to make planning more seamless, useful and conversational».
