This Cruise From Florida Will Explore Hawaii, Asia, Australia and Alaska in 2027

Ready to pack your bags for the ultimate bucket list cruise? Princess Cruises has unveiled a spectacular 129-day sailing for 2027 that will whisk guests to 20 countries and 61 destinations aboard the Coral Princess. This could be your golden ticket if you’ve ever dreamed of exploring the world in one epic voyage.

Departing from Florida, Finishing in L.A.

Set to sail from Fort Lauderdale on 6 January 2027, the Coral Princess will journey through the Panama Canal, making her way to Hawaii before setting course for the dreamy islands of the South Pacific, then onwards to New Zealand and Australia. But that’s just the start.

From there, she continues to Asia, stopping in hotspots like Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Hong Kong, and Japan, before heading up to Alaska for six scenic stops. The journey wraps up in Los Angeles 129 days later. Talk about the cruise of a lifetime.

What’s Life Like Onboard Coral Princess?

If you’re going to spend over four months at sea, it helps to be on a ship that feels like home (with a few more hot tubs). The Coral Princess is one of the line’s smaller ships, carrying around 2,000 passengers—perfect if you prefer a more relaxed, less crowded atmosphere.

Despite her size, she’s packed with features: multiple dining venues including a steakhouse and Italian trattoria, live entertainment, a luxurious spa, and even a casino for those feeling lucky. There’s also Princess’s signature Movies Under the Stars, so you can watch blockbusters on deck with a blanket and some popcorn. And with fewer passengers than the mega-ships, there’s more space to breathe—and more chance to actually snag a lounger by the pool.

Where in the World Are You Going?

Lauderdale and covering destinations across Central America, the U.S. West Coast, Alaska, Japan, Southeast Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and the South Pacific. Key stops include Los Angeles, Tokyo, Singapore, Sydney, Auckland, Honolulu, and the Panama Canal, with dotted lines indicating optional or connecting segments.

This cruise takes the scenic route around the Pacific Rim rather than circling the globe. After leaving Florida, Coral Princess travels through the Panama Canal before heading to the lush islands of Hawaii and the remote beauty of the South Pacific. Think tropical beaches, turquoise lagoons, and maybe even a ukulele or two.

Next stop: Australasia. You’ll cruise the coasts of New Zealand and Australia, with chances to explore cities like Auckland, Sydney and Brisbane and tick off the Great Barrier Reef while you’re there. Then it’s on to Asia, calling at iconic ports such as Singapore, Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, and Hong Kong. Finally, the ship heads north to Japan and across to Alaska, ending in Los Angeles after 129 unforgettable days.

UNESCO Gems and Unforgettable Experiences

This cruise also offers the chance to tick off 23 UNESCO World Heritage Sites – yes, 23! Think: the iconic Sydney Opera House, Vietnam’s stunning Ha Long Bay, the dramatic volcanic landscapes of Hawaii, and the incomparable Great Barrier Reef.

It’s the kind of trip that makes your travel bucket list look woefully short.

Perks for Early Bookers (and Shorter Options Too)

Book a balcony cabin or higher before 3 October 2025 and you’ll get a host of extras, including complimentary WiFi, air credits, round-trip airport transfers, and up to $1,500 onboard credit per person.

Not quite ready for a 129-day commitment? Don’t worry. Shorter options are available, ranging from 4 to 114 days, with embarkation ports in Auckland, Hong Kong, Honolulu, Singapore, Sydney, Tokyo, and Vancouver. So you can still join the adventure without going all in.

Why It’s Worth Considering

Princess Cruises promises this will be more than just a cruise—it’s a “Grand Circle Pacific Voyage,” designed to immerse guests in the cultures, cuisine, and natural wonders of some of the most spectacular places on Earth, all with that signature Princess charm.
