The 2026 Princess Cruises world cruise will sail around the world in 114 days. On board the Coral Princess, guests will visit six continents, 28 countries, and stop at 52 ports – the most destinations ever for a Princess Cruises world cruise. The adventure begins January 2026 with two U.S. departure points – Fort Lauderdale, FL (January 5) or Los Angeles, CA (January 21). This itinerary is open now for booking with special perks for those who reserve their spot by October 31.
The 2026 Princess Cruises world cruise will travel over 35,000 nautical miles and feature a number of firsts. This will be Princess Cruises’ inaugural call to Boracay, a tropical paradise in central Philippines known for its gorgeous beaches and resorts. Coral Princess will also make first-time world cruise calls to Puerto Chiapas, Mexico and Ponta Delgado, Azores Island. Among the 52 destinations on the itinerary include access to 45 UNESCO World Heritage Sites around the globe. There will also be late-night stays in 13 ports including Singapore, Sydney, and Honolulu, and one overnight stay in Hong Kong giving guests more time to explore these destinations.
