Princess Cruises Launches 131-Day Circle Pacific Voyage

Princess Cruises has announced its most destination-packed journey to date—a 131-day Circle Pacific Voyage set to depart in January 2026.

Replacing the previously planned 2026 World Cruise, which was rerouted to avoid the Red Sea, this new itinerary includes visits to 60 ports across 19 countries surrounding the Pacific Ocean.

The voyage aboard the Coral Princess begins in Ft. Lauderdale and sails through Hawaii, French Polynesia, the South Pacific, New Zealand, and Australia. From there, it travels north to explore Asia with an in-depth journey through Japan before crossing the Pacific to Alaska. The cruise concludes with a southbound route along the Pacific Coast, ending in Los Angeles on May 16, 2026.

Guests can also choose a shorter 115-day roundtrip option departing from Los Angeles on January 21, 2026, as well as several regional segments.

Key destinations include Auckland, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Fiji, Osaka, Singapore, Sydney, and Tahiti—many offering extended stays.

“This Circle Pacific Voyage offers travelers a rare opportunity to explore some of the Pacific’s most iconic and off-the-beaten-path destinations in one unforgettable trip,” said John Padgett, president of Princess Cruises.

Guests who reserve the full 131-day or 115-day cruise by December 31, 2024, will enjoy early booking benefits such as free Premium Beverage Packages (up to $20 per drink), Specialty Dining, MedallionNet Max Wi-Fi (for up to four devices), up to $500 onboard credit, and more.

Even travelers booking shorter segments will receive onboard credits and exclusive Captain’s Circle discounts.

Princess Cruises is reaching out to guests who had previously booked the original 2026 World Cruise with details on compensation options.
