Princess Cruises has announced its 2026 World Cruise–a 114-day journey aboard Coral Princess. The voyage will sail across six continents, and cover more than 35,000 nautical miles as she visits 52 ports in 28 countries–the most destinations ever on a Princess World Cruise..
Itineraries are on sale now and guests can take advantage of early booking perks while choosing their starting point. Travelers can opt to depart from Fort Lauderdale, Florida on January 5, 2025, or Los Angeles on January 21, 2026.
“This 2026 World Cruise addresses a growing interest in longer voyages that make stops at more exotic destinations, and the urge to do it as part of a more all-inclusive experience,” said Terry Thornton, chief commercial officer for Princess Cruises. “Our 2026 World Cruise offers our most destination-rich itinerary ever so guests can immerse themselves in a global experience rich with landmarks, ancient ruins, unique landscapes, wildlife, gastronomy, cultures, and heritage.”
On this journey, guests will enjoy Princess Cruises’ first ever call to Boracay, a tropical paradise in central Philippines, as well as first-time World Cruise calls to Puerto Chiapas, Mexico and Ponta Delgado, Azores Islands. Coral Princess’ itinerary includes access to 45 UNESCO World Heritage Sites and features “More Ashore Late-Night” stays in 13 ports, including Singapore, Sydney and Honolulu, as well as an overnight stay in Hong Kong.
Coral Princess’ entertainment and onboard programming will further immerse guests into the local cultures making the cruises even more memorable. The cruise will feature language classes, dance and instrument lessons, culturally-based arts and crafts, and locally-inspired drinks and eats. Some nights will feature destination-specific events such as themed deck and sail-away parties, trivia, and traditional entertainment in Honolulu, Auckland, Barcelona and Lisbon. Avid readers can even join the Princess Book Club and enjoy novels set in the countries they are visiting.
Guests booking the full World Cruise by October 31, 2024 will receive the Free Princess Premier Package, the Captain’s Circle discount of $1000 for two guests, a $500 onboard credit each for two guests, free EZAir airfare, free transfers from local airports and one free specialty dining per week.
Shorter sailing times will also be offered for those guests who are looking to sail only a certain segment of the World Cruise. Those guests who purchase a cruise segment by the same date will receive a $200 onboard credit.
