2026 World Cruise out of FLL or LA

[LadyJake]

Any idea when the 2026 World Cruise out of the US ports will be posted? Other cruise lines are already offering their schedules.

Not yet, but I’m hoping for it soon. Looks like it will be on Coral Princess as she is the only ship in the fleet without a winter/spring 2025/26 deployment. The gap in her schedule is from her 11/13/2025 arrival into Ft. Lauderdale until she reappears in LA on 4/20/26. This would give time for either a dry dock and/or a few Caribbean sailings before a World Cruise.

Port bookings in Sydney, Brisbane (Feb 2026), and Hong Kong (Mar 2026) suggest that @AtlantaCruiser72's theory is correct. It shouldn't be long now before the itinerary is released.

They did add some Late Nov/Dec 25 11 & 14 day sailings on Coral from FLL recently that were not part of the original 25/26 Caribbean Announcement that line her up perfectly for the 2026 World cruise.  I predict she will sell better on the WC than Island has the last few years as Island suffers such a maligned image with Princess loyalists due to the Frankenship overhaul they gave her.

 

Were I in a position to do so I'd book Coral on a WC in a heartbeat!

Agreed - Island's stern modifications were particularly unfortunate. Coral has world cruising experience too. Her second circumnavigation is due to depart Sydney in just under two weeks' time.

 

Personally speaking, Pacific was the ideal Princess world-cruise ship 🙂

2026 world cruise is being announced onboard the current world cruise in the next day or so.  It will be on the Coral Princess.

Here is the itinerary

@Sarnia 432:  Thanks for sharing.

Thanks.  Any odds on like 2025 spending time going around Africa?  This route really nice.  The 2025 revised plan not attractive to me.

Thanks for the information.  Do you know when it will open for bookings?

[Sarnia 432]

They aren’t giving us pricing, but are saying it should be released on Thursday 25th April.

This is great - thank you for sharing.  Was there any indication what the segments are?   Thinking Sydney, Hong Kong & London may be break points. 

[Sarnia 432]

IIRC - Sydney. Singapore. Rome

Depends on geopolitical situation then, doesn't it?  I notice they have none of these usual/typical planned stops:  Oman, Dubai, Petra, Egypt, Israel.
