Picture this – waving goodbye to the Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge as you sail past the heads and into the open ocean.
This will mark the start of the Crown Princess® World Cruise, which sets sail from the Emerald City on 4 June 2025.
Over 113 glorious nights, you will call at 38 divine destinations in 28 countries across five continents. The around-the-world holiday is great value for money, with prices starting from $32,349 per person in an interior stateroom on a Princess Plus fare, which includes two casual dining meals per day, premier beverage package, MedallionNet® Max WI-FI and more. This works out as $287 per person, per day.
One of the added attractions about going on a Princess world cruise is that you can immerse yourself in the exclusive MedallionClass® experience, from contactless boarding to keyless stateroom entry and all food and drinks delivered to you wherever you are on board.
You’ll no longer have to queue to grab a cocktail, you can make dining reservations and book onboard activities such as dance classes from your 20-cent sized wearable Medallion – which also allows you to keep track of your loved ones anywhere on the ship.
The itinerary
As your World Cruise adventure begins in Sydney, you will be able to enjoy some of the best sights the city has to offer. You can jump on a hop-on, hop-off Sydney tour with your luggage safely stored, or take a city drive to Bondi Beach.
From Sydney, Crown Princess will sail down to Adelaide, arriving at 8am – allowing you the time to go on a wine-discovery tour visiting the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale and Glenelg.
You will then sail to Fremantle, WA, before crossing the Indian Ocean to arrive in Port Louis in Mauritius, Cape Town in South Africa, and then Namibia.
You will then cruise to Cape Verde Islands, Canary Islands and Casablanca, the commercial hub of Western Morocco. Be prepared to be blown away by Casablanca’s blend of Moorish style and European Art Deco. Stop by the Hassan II Mosque, which has a 210-metre minaret with lasers directed toward Mecca.
Crown Princess will then call at Gibraltar. Beneath its white cliffs is a profusion of palm, pine and cypress trees and some 600 varieties of flowers which are not seen anywhere else in the world. Veiled Moroccan women in kaftans mingle with vacationing Europeans who stroll along the narrow, steep lanes.
In the Mediterranean, the ship will visit Valencia and vibrant Barcelona, with its wide, tree-lined promenade of Las Ramblas. Marvel at the Gaudi’s Basilica La Sagrada Familia in this travellers’ paradise.
The ship will visit Mallorca, Cartagena, Tangier, Seville, Lisbon, Bilbao, Bordeaux, Ireland, Glasgow, Liverpool, Dover and Norway. Then it’s on to Reykjavik in Iceland, the northernmost capital in the world and the gateway to Iceland’s natural wonders from ice fields to thermal pools.
As the ship makes its way to Isafjordur in Iceland, look out for polar bears, and enjoy oceans filled with seals, Minke and humpback whales in Nanortalik in Greenland.
After Crown Princess crosses to Canada, New York, Miami, Colombia and calls at Lima in Peru, it will make its way to Tahiti and Moorea in French Polynesia then Auckland and back to Sydney on 26 September 2025.
