According to real estate news reports, the line has 1,000 employees there and a lease that expires in March 2026.

More remote workers

'In response to the pandemic, we extended remote work options to our Santa Clarita-based employees, and a significant number chose to embrace this arrangement. Consequently, we now have surplus office space, which we are actively exploring options for subleasing,' Princess Cruises said in a statement.

A Princess spokesperson told Seatrade Cruise News: 'We still will have teammates working from our Santa Clarita offices,' though she did not specify how many.

Fort Lauderdale office

Besides its California headquarters, Princess has maintained an operations office at Florida's Port Everglades for decades.

Since the pandemic and with management changes, the line now fields more senior executives there — leaders including President John Padgett, Chief Commercial Officer Terry Thornton and Chief Marketing Officer Jim Berra.

It has added more administration office space outside the port gate on 17th Street in Fort Lauderdale.
