International

70 sailings across Mexico, Hawaii, and the California Coast from Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Vancouver

Princess Cruises has unveiled its 2027–2028 West Coast program, featuring 70 sailings on 13 itineraries from September 2027 through April 2028. Eight Princess ships will operate the season, offering voyages from four to 16 days to Mexico, Hawaii, and the California Coast.

The line’s newest ship, Star Princess, joins a fleet that also includes Coral Princess, Crown Princess, Discovery Princess, Emerald Princess, Island Princess, Royal Princess, and Ruby Princess. Departures from Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Vancouver give guests convenient access to diverse itineraries combining relaxation, discovery, and scenic cruising.

“Princess Cruises has been Los Angeles’ hometown cruise line for nearly 60 years, and no one sails the West Coast quite like we do,” said Jim Berra, Chief Commercial Officer. “Our long-standing presence here is a point of pride and a promise that we’ll continue to deliver exceptional experiences across the Pacific Coast, Mexico, and Hawaii.”

Mexico – Sunshine and Culture

Three ships — Crown Princess, Discovery Princess, and Ruby Princess — will sail 34 departures on four itineraries, visiting eight destinations including Cabo San Lucas and Puerto Vallarta. Voyages of seven to 11 days feature flexible roundtrip departures from Los Angeles or San Francisco, with select cruises offering late-night or overnight stays in Cabo San Lucas. Guests can expect a mix of adventure, relaxation, and local cultural encounters.

Hawaii – Island-Hopping Adventures

The Crown Princess, Emerald Princess, and Ruby Princess will operate 18 departures on two 16-day roundtrip itineraries from Los Angeles or San Francisco. These extended sailings visit four Hawaiian Islands, combining scenic cruising with cultural immersion. Highlights include overnight calls at Honolulu and Kona, allowing guests to experience the islands’ volcanic landscapes and traditional Aloha hospitality.

California Coast – Iconic Ports Close to Home

Eight Princess ships will sail 17 departures across nine itineraries along the U.S. and Canadian West Coast. Voyages call at nine ports, including San Francisco, San Diego, Seattle, and Victoria (B.C.), with late-night stays in several destinations. Itineraries offer a mix of coastal charm, culinary discovery, and outdoor exploration, showcasing the diversity of the Pacific coastline.

Sailing the Pacific in Princess Style

From sailing under San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge to cruising past El Arco in Cabo San Lucas or the Lions Gate Bridge in Vancouver, Princess guests experience the region’s most dramatic coastal scenery from a unique vantage point.

On board, local culture comes alive through Mexican tequila tastings, Hawaiian lei-making and hula classes, and California-inspired food-and-wine experiences. The cruise line’s wine program — recognised by Wine Spectator for excellence — includes exclusive Caymus Vineyards Winemaker Dinners and Gérard Bertrand Tastings aboard Star Princess.

Effortless West Coast Exploration

With departures from three major gateway cities, Princess offers a “no-car-needed” way to explore the Pacific coast. Travellers can embark close to home and experience a wide range of destinations without long flights or complex itineraries.
