Princess Cruises Unveils Record 131-Day Circle Pacific Voyage
Princess Cruises has introduced its longest journey yet: a 131-day Circle Pacific voyage set to depart in January 2026, according to a company press release.
Departing from Ft. Lauderdale, this epic cruise will visit 60 ports across 19 countries around the Pacific, replacing the previously scheduled 2026 World Cruise, which had planned stops in the Red Sea and surrounding regions.
“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,” stated John Padgett, president of Princess Cruises.
“We’ve designed this route to highlight the natural beauty, diverse cultures, and unique experiences of 19 countries, from Hawaii’s volcanic landscapes to the vibrant streets of Bangkok and Alaska’s tranquil scenery.”
The Coral Princess will sail through Hawaii, French Polynesia, the South Pacific, New Zealand, Australia, and Asia (with an in-depth focus on Japan), before continuing to Alaska and the U.S. Pacific Coast, ending in Los Angeles on May 16, 2026. There’s also a shorter 115-day roundtrip option starting in Los Angeles on January 21, 2026, as well as several shorter segment options.
Key stops include Auckland, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Fiji, Osaka, Singapore, Sydney, and Tahiti, with extended stays in selected ports.
Guests booking the full 131-day or 115-day cruise by December 31, 2024, will receive special early booking benefits such as:
- Princess Premier Package: Includes free premium drinks, specialty dining, crew appreciation, unlimited WiFi, fitness classes, and digital photos.
