2027 world cruise travelers can now start planning the journey of a lifetime as Princess Cruises officially announces its Grand Circle Pacific Voyage—a sweeping 129-day experience spanning 61 destinations, 20 countries, and three continents.
Departing in January 2027 aboard the Coral Princess, this voyage is the most destination-packed cruise in the brand’s history.
An Epic Route Connecting the Pacific
Three departure options offer flexibility for travelers: a 129-day journey departing from Ft. Lauderdale to Los Angeles on January 6, 2027; a 114-day roundtrip sailing from Los Angeles beginning January 21; and a 110-day option from Los Angeles to Vancouver departing the same day. Regardless of the route, guests can expect an unmatched itinerary through the Pacific’s most iconic and culturally rich destinations.
According to Terry Thornton, Chief Commercial Officer of Princess Cruises, “This 129-day adventure is designed for guests who yearn to experience different cultures, history, flavors and the breathtaking spectacles of the Pacific like never before.”
