Princess Cruises unveiled one of its longest and most destination-packed sailings ever aboard Coral Princess. The Circle Pacific Voyage next January boasts 60 ports across 19 countries.
“This Circle Pacific Voyage is more than just an itinerary; it’s an invitation to explore some of the Pacific’s most iconic and remote destinations in a single, unforgettable journey,” said John Padgett, Princess Cruises President.
“We’ve crafted this route to showcase the beauty, culture, and diversity of 19 countries, from the volcanic shores of Hawaii to the bustling streets of Bangkok and the serene landscapes of Alaska.”
What the 131-Day Itinerary Looks Like
The months-long voyage begins on January 5, 2026, from Fort Lauderdale. Coral Princess will first head to Hawaii, French Polynesia, the South Pacific, New Zealand, and Australia. The 2002-built vessel will then move to Asia, making nine stops in Japan.
After Asia, the Princess cruise ship will cross the Pacific, explore Alaska, and make its way to Los Angeles. Its list of sought-after ports include Tahiti, Sydney, Singapore, Osaka, Fiji, Hong Kong, Bangkok, and Auckland.
Guests who prefer shorter trips can join specific legs of the journey like the 115-day roundtrip from Los Angeles on January 21, 2026.
Throughout the sailing, shipboard programming will match the different ports of call through:
- Cultural enrichment classes like dance and instrument lessons
- Events showcasing local folklore, trivia, and entertainment
- Lectures by historians and destination ambassadors
Rewards for Booking Before 2025
The Circle Pacific Voyage takes the place of the 2026 World Cruise which was supposed to pass through the Suez Canal and Red Sea, conflict-ridden areas that pose safety risks for crews and passengers.
Parent company Carnival Corporation rerouted several ships from the region this year. Though the company lost revenue, booking volumes across its seven cruise brands remain high.
