Would you like to spend more than 130 days exploring Asia, the Pacific and Alaska? Princess Cruises has switched up its previously announced world cruise itinerary to make the voyage more immersive in the Pacific region.
With ongoing unrest affecting the Red Sea region, Princess decided not to send a ship through the area to bring passengers from Asia to Europe. It has replaced calls on ports in Greece, Cyprus, Montenegro, Croatia, Italy, France, Belgium, England and Portugal and other countries with new calls in China, Japan and Alaska.
The new route on the 2,000-passenger Coral Princess now includes two overnights — one in Bangkok and one in Hanoi, Vietnam — plus 12 late nights that will allow passengers to spend more time in places like Honolulu, Tahiti, Auckland, Sydney, Singapore, Hong Kong and Osaka, Japan, among others.
“This Circle Pacific Voyage is more than just an itinerary,” John Padgett, president of Princess Cruises, said in a statement. “It’s an invitation to explore some of the Pacific’s most iconic and remote destinations in a single, unforgettable journey.”
The revised cruise will depart on Jan. 5, 2026, from Fort Lauderdale, and sail for 131 days. It will visit 60 destinations across 19 countries. For travelers who wish to depart from the U.S. West Coast, Princess is also offering a slightly shorter 115-day segment, departing Jan. 21, 2026, from Los Angeles. Both will conclude in Los Angeles on May 16, 2026.
While on board Coral Princess, passengers can expect activities typical of a Princess sailing, such as cooking and dance classes, enrichment programs, musical productions, spa services and outdoor movies. There are also some activities unique to this voyage. Among them are themed deck parties and special entertainment reflecting the history and folklore of the countries visited.
