Sunday, November 17, 2024 Amid evolving global tensions, Princess Cruises is taking proactive measures to ensure passenger safety by revising its 2026 itineraries. The cruise line has introduced its most destination-rich sailing to date, the 131-day Circle Pacific Voyage , as an alternative to its previously planned world cruise itinerary. This change mirrors adjustments made by its sister brand, Holland America Line, which also revised its Grand World Voyage routes to bypass the Red Sea.

The newly launched Circle Pacific Voyage aboard the Coral Princess sets sail on January 5, 2026, departing from Fort Lauderdale. Covering 60 ports across 19 countries, the voyage offers an immersive exploration of the Pacific region, including stops in Hawaii, French Polynesia, the South Pacific, New Zealand, and Australia. From there, the ship embarks on an extensive journey through Asia, featuring highlights like Japan’s scenic coastlines and cultural landmarks , followed by a Pacific crossing to witness Alaska’s natural wonders.

The adventure concludes with a southbound route along the Pacific Coast, culminating in Los Angeles on May 16, 2026. For those seeking a shorter experience, a 115-day roundtrip journey from Los Angeles departs on January 21, 2026. Additional segments are available for passengers looking to explore specific regions.

The Circle Pacific Voyage is now open for bookings, with a special early booking incentive available for reservations made by December 31, 2024. Tr.
