Crown Princess cruises 2028

Where does Crown Princess sail in 2028?

Crown Princess sails a varied programme of ocean voyages in 2028, with departures from Los Angeles and Vancouver — and one departure from Anchorage — covering Alaska, Polynesia, the Mexican Riviera, the USA West Coast and a transpacific crossing. Voyage lengths run from 4 nights up to 60 nights, with a median of 10 nights, so there is a sailing to suit a fortnight’s holiday or a much longer adventure. Most sailings are round trips, though 3 are one-way voyages where the ship finishes in a different city to where it started.

Alaska and West Canada: the heart of the 2028 sailings

Alaska is where Crown Princess spends most of its 2028 schedule, and it is easy to see why these itineraries attract so much interest from Australian travellers. The voyages sail round-trip from Vancouver or one-way between Vancouver and Anchorage, giving you a choice of how to structure the trip. Alaska cruises in 2028 are popular and sell ahead of time, so it pays to look early.

If you are based in a city with direct or connecting flights to Vancouver or Los Angeles, you are a domestic hop away from joining the ship — no long-haul travel required at either end. On the one-way itineraries, the voyage finishes in Anchorage or Vancouver, and a domestic flight connects the two cities easily; our team can book that return leg, along with a hotel the night before departure and any transfers, so you are not piecing it together yourself.

For a closer look at what these itineraries cover, see our dedicated pages for Vancouver to Alaska cruises in 2028 and the broader Vancouver to Alaska cruises hub.

Polynesia: the Pacific closer to home

For Australian travellers who want the Pacific without the long haul to Europe, the Polynesia sailings on Crown Princess are a strong option. These voyages depart from Los Angeles and are well suited to building into a longer trip that combines the cruise with time on the US West Coast. If that appeals, our team can put flights, a pre-cruise hotel in Los Angeles, and transfers on the same booking as the cruise itself, so everything is arranged in one go.

Also sailing: Mexican Riviera and the USA West Coast

Beyond Alaska and Polynesia, Crown Princess also sails one itinerary along the Mexican Riviera and one along the USA West Coast, both departing from Los Angeles. These are shorter options — well suited to combining with a stay in California either side of the cruise. There is also a single transpacific crossing in the 2028 schedule, which suits travellers looking for an extended ocean voyage rather than a port-to-port itinerary.

What fare types does Princess Cruises offer?

Princess Cruises offers several fare tiers on Crown Princess sailings, and understanding what each one covers helps you choose the right one for your style of cruising. The 3 main options are:

• Princess Standard — the base cruise fare. The cruise itself is covered; beverages, Wi-Fi, gratuities and dining extras are available to add.
• Princess Plus — a strong mid-tier choice for most travellers. Includes 4 casual dining meals per voyage, beverages up to A$15 each (with a daily limit of 15 drinks), MedallionNet® Max Wi-Fi, pre-paid crew appreciation, unlimited digital photographs plus 3 prints, and reserved theatre seating.

If you are unsure which fare suits your trip, our cruise experts can walk you through the inclusions and help you compare the total cost with and without the package — often the difference is smaller than it looks once you account for drinks and Wi-Fi over a 10-night voyage.

Fare types such as last-minute offers and promotional fares also appear from time to time, so it is worth checking availability or calling us to ask what is current.

Are there any discounts on Crown Princess 2028 sailings?

Yes — a number of Crown Princess 2028 sailings carry a reduction from the price previously listed for that cabin grade on that sailing. The largest reduction on any single departure reaches 15%, though that applies to just 1 sailing; most reduced sailings are discounted by around 4%. If you find a fare that suits your dates, booking sooner rather than later is usually the right call — availability on Alaska sailings in particular fills up well ahead of departure.

Cabins on Crown Princess

Crown Princess offers a range of cabin grades to suit different budgets and preferences. For full details on room sizes, deck layouts and what each grade includes, see the Crown Princess cabins and deck plans page. As a guide, the grades run from interior cabins at the most accessible price point, through to ocean-view rooms, balcony staterooms — which are especially popular on Alaska sailings where the scenery from your cabin is part of the experience — and a range of suites for those who want more space and added service.

Our team can talk you through which deck and which grade is likely to suit your trip; it is one of the most useful conversations to have before you book, and it takes five minutes on the phone.

Make it a holiday

Every Crown Princess sailing in 2028 departs from the United States or Canada, which means the cruise is the centrepiece of a trip that needs a flight, and often a hotel night, at one or both ends. That is where booking with Cruise1st makes a practical difference. We are cruise specialists — every offer is a cruise or a cruise-inclusive package — and our team can add flights, hotels, tours, transfers and insurance around your cruise, as a bundle or a fully custom holiday.

If you are flying from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth or any other Australian city, we can package the whole thing: the flights to your embarkation port, accommodation in Los Angeles or Vancouver the night before you board, transfers to and from the ship, and any excursions or tours you want to build in along the way. On one-way sailings, we handle the return leg too, so nothing is left for you to sort out separately.

Booking it all together also means one point of contact if anything changes — which matters more than it sounds when you are managing an international trip with multiple moving parts.

Which other Princess Cruises sailings are worth considering in 2028?

If you are open to other ships or departure ports, the Princess 2027–2028 season includes a wide range of itineraries beyond Crown Princess. Australian departures are covered on our Princess Cruises around Australia 2028 page, and if you are based in Western Australia, Princess cruises from Fremantle in 2028 may be the more convenient starting point. Sailings from the east coast are covered on our Princess Cruises from Sydney 2028 page.

If you are still deciding on the year, Princess Cruises around Australia in 2027 has a full set of options, and Alaska cruises in 2027 are worth comparing alongside the 2028 schedule if your dates are flexible. You can also browse the full 2028 cruises calendar, or explore all available cruises if you want to compare across years and lines.

Excursions and shore experiences

On Alaska itineraries, the ports of call are the main event — and what you do ashore on these sailings tends to stay with you. Wildlife watching, glacier visits and scenic flights are common activities in this part of the world, and booking ahead is advisable as the best excursions fill quickly in the Alaska season. Our team can advise on what is typically available through Princess Cruises’ own shore excursion programme, and can help you plan any independent activities alongside the cruise.

On the Polynesia and Mexican Riviera voyages, the focus shifts to beaches, local culture and water-based activities at each port. Los Angeles, as both an embarkation and disembarkation port, is also worth a day or two of its own — and we can add a hotel stay there to either end of your cruise.
