Princess Cruises has announced changes to its previously planned world cruise itinerary, now focusing on a four-month Pacific voyage. The decision was made due to ongoing unrest in the Red Sea region, which prompted the company to avoid sending ships through that area. As a result, ports in Europe have been replaced with new destinations in China, Japan, and Alaska.
The revised route for the Coral Princess includes two overnight stays in Bangkok and Hanoi, Vietnam, as well as 12 late-night departures from locations such as Honolulu, Tahiti, Auckland, Sydney, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Osaka. "This Circle Pacific Voyage is more than just an itinerary," said John Padgett, president of Princess Cruises. "It's an invitation to explore some of the Pacific's most iconic and remote destinations in a single unforgettable journey."
Departing on January 5, 2026, from Fort Lauderdale, the cruise will last 131 days and visit 60 destinations across 19 countries. For those preferring a shorter journey from the U.S. West Coast, there is also a 115-day segment starting January 21 from Los Angeles. Both cruises will conclude in Los Angeles on May 16.
