If you’re in need of a long vacation, Princess Cruises may have the trip for you – 129 days to be exact.

The cruise line shared details abut a new world cruise on Wednesday, which will spend more than four months visiting 20 countries across three continents.

“Our upcoming 2027 World Cruise Grand Circle Pacific Voyage is a once-in-a-lifetime journey connecting travelers to the world’s most breathtaking destinations with the signature warmth and elegance only Princess can provide,” Terry Thornton, Princess’ Chief Commercial Officer, said in a news release. “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.”

Here’s what to know.

The cruise will depart from Fort Lauderdale on Jan. 6, 2027, aboard the line’s 2,000-guest Coral Princess ship, ending in Los Angeles.

Guests can also choose from shorter options, sailing round-trip from Los Angeles for 114 days or for 110 days from Los Angeles to Vancouver, both departing on Jan. 21, 2027. There are even shorter segments available, as well.

Guests will start their journey by visiting Colombia, the Panama Canal, Costa Rica and Mexico. After sailing to Los Angeles, the ship will make its way to Hawaii and the South Pacific, visiting Fiji, Vanuatu and more before arriving in Australia and New Zealand. Guests will make many stops, including at Airlie Beach – the gateway to the Whitsunday Islands – Brisbane, Sydney, Auckland, Hobart in Tasmania, and enjoy scenic cruising along the Kimberley coast.

The ship will explore Southeast Asia, including Indonesia and Thailand, along with destinations like Japan, Alaska and Vancouver as it makes its way back to California.

The itinerary includes nine late-night departures in Honolulu, Singapore, Tokyo and others, and an overnight stop in Hong Kong.

Along the way, passengers will have access to 23 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, from Australia’s Great Barrier Reef to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, and cross the equator twice.

The three world cruise options currently start at $25,108 per person based on double occupancy, including taxes and fees, according to Princess’ website.

Travelers who make reservations for any of the three by Oct. 3, 2025, will get round-trip airport transfers, free Wi-Fi, as much as $1,500 per person in onboard credit depending on their stateroom category and more perks.
