2026's Trending Destinations with Princess Cruises

Alaska

Sail into a world of towering ice formations, untouched wilderness and iconic wildlife. Witness calving glaciers plunge into Glacier Bay National Park (where Princess is an authorised concessionaire), or spot humpback whales breaching in the clear waters of the Inside Passage. From ziplining through Tongass National Forest to travelling along the White Pass & Yukon Route Railway, Princess has a vast range of award-winning excursions on offer.

Plus, for an even deeper exploration, you can extend your holiday with a cruise tour that combines sea, rail and land travel, with lodge stays near Kenai, Wrangell-St. Elias, and Denali national parks.

Japan

Uncover the perfect blend of ancient traditions and modern marvels on a Princess cruise to Japan. Wander the historic temples of Kyoto, like the golden Kinkaku-ji, or explore the buzzing streets of Tokyo, where towering skyscrapers sit alongside serene gardens. If you time your trip just right, you’ll experience the famed cherry blossom season first-hand, a tradition for over a millennium. Cherry blossom viewing is so ingrained in Japanese culture that there’s even a word for it: Hanami.

Itineraries featuring Shimizu are your gateway to the UNESCO-listed, majestic Mount Fuji, Japan's most sacred volcano and one of the country's most iconic images. Stops in Hiroshima are your ticket to the Itsukushima Shrine and Hiroshima Peace Memorial, with ancient Kyoto Monuments reached from Kobe or Osaka.

Celebration Key, The Bahamas

Newly added to Princess’ Caribbean repertoire for 2026*, spend the day in Celebration Key, on the south side of Grand Bahama Island. With white sand beaches, crystal blue waters, and some of the largest freshwater lagoons in the Caribbean, this private oasis is complete with unique spaces to lounge, swim, shop, eat and explore. Back on board, don’t miss the Caribbean-inspired menu featuring jerk chicken and fresh-caught mahi-mahi.

Of course, Celebration Key won’t be your only stop. Whether you’re exploring caves in Barbados, horse riding on the beach in Grand Cayman, hiking the lush trails of St. Lucia’s Pitons or wandering the cobblestone streets in Old San Juan, Princess has more than 90 voyages for the Caribbean in 2026.

Aegean Adventures

Sailing through Greece and Turkey takes you straight into the pages of adventure, where you can finally channel your inner Indiana Jones (minus the boulder chase, of course). Walk the marble streets of Ephesus, where ancient ruins reveal tales of empires past, or stand in awe of the Parthenon perched high above Athens.

The Greek Islands are steeped in history, offering a glimpse into the ancient civilizations that shaped the world. Explore the Palace of Knossos in Crete, home to the legend of the Minotaur, or head to the small island of Delos (neighbour to Mykonos) to explore the UNESCO-listed ancient ruins and mythological birthplace of Apollo and Artemis.

Hawaii

Say ‘aloha’ to an island adventure with a bucket list sailing to Hawaii. From the vibrant cityscape of Honolulu to the lush rainforests of Hilo and Kona, known for their volcanic landscapes and coffee farms – you needn’t settle for just one island when you’re cruising with Princess. Discover the beauty of Maui’s waterfalls in Kahului and the stunning Napali Coast in Kauai, which served as the backdrop for Hollywood blockbusters like Jurassic Park.

Time on board brings the sights and sounds of Hawaii to life with a wide variety of island-infused entertainment and enrichment programs, including Lei-making workshops, Ukulele playing and Hula dance lessons, Polynesian language classes, and more.

In Cambodia, uncover the ancient wonders of Angkor Wat, and admire the terraced rice fields and serene beaches of Bali.
