Exciting Changes Await on Princess Cruises’ 2025 World Cruises!
Due to current events in the Red Sea and surrounding regions, Princess Cruises has made adjustments to the itineraries for their highly anticipated 2025 World Cruises. These adjustments prioritize guest safety while maintaining the promise of an unforgettable adventure filled with diverse destinations.

Prioritizing Guest Safety with Expert Guidance:
Princess Cruises understands the importance of a safe and enjoyable travel experience. In collaboration with global security experts and government authorities, the cruise line has meticulously reviewed the itineraries. As a result, the 2025 World Cruises will no longer visit the Middle East and Asia.

Embark on a New World of Discovery:
While some ports have been replaced, the spirit of exploration remains! Princess Cruises is thrilled to offer new destinations in Africa and Europe, ensuring a voyage brimming with cultural immersion and breathtaking scenery.

Terry Thornton, Chief Commercial Officer of Princess Cruises, emphasizes the importance of these adjustments:
“A Princess World Cruise is a dream vacation, and we understand that guests may have their hearts set on specific destinations. However, after careful consideration and with expert guidance, we believe these changes will ultimately enhance the overall experience. We are committed to providing destination-rich itineraries, and we’re excited to explore the wonders of West Africa and the Mediterranean with our guests.”

Unveiling the Island Princess World Cruise:
The Island Princess World Cruise offers two unforgettable roundtrip options, departing from either Ft. Lauderdale on January 5, 2025, or Los Angeles on January 20, 2025, both concluding in Los Angeles on May 17, 2025. This 116-day adventure will cover a remarkable 36,700 nautical miles, encompassing 46 destinations across 24 countries and six continents. Passengers will have the opportunity to experience the rich history of Bar, Montenegro, and Taranto, Italy. Additionally, the itinerary boasts inaugural World Cruise calls to the idyllic Greek island of Patmos and Volos, the gateway to the awe-inspiring Monasteries of Meteora.

A Glimpse of the Revised Itinerary:
The revised World Cruise itinerary will depart from Sydney on February 16, 2025. Passengers will be treated to the vibrant cities of Melbourne and Perth before embarking on a journey along the stunning South African coast. Following this exciting new segment, the cruise will seamlessly rejoin the original itinerary in Valletta, Malta on April 9th.

Get Ready for an Unforgettable World Cruise Experience!
With Princess Cruises’ commitment to safety and its dedication to crafting exceptional itineraries, the 2025 World Cruises promise an unparalleled adventure. Prepare to discover captivating new destinations, immerse yourself in diverse cultures, and create memories that will last a lifetime.
