Princess Cruises Announces 2028-29 Australia and New Zealand Season

Princess Cruises has finalized its deployment schedule for the 2028-29 season in the Australia and New Zealand region. The operator will station three ships in the area to accommodate increased demand for regional maritime tourism.

A central component of the announcement is the introduction of a new roundtrip world cruise departing from Australia. Spanning 61 destinations across 31 countries, the itinerary represents the longest voyage of its kind offered by the company in this market.

The expansion reflects ongoing efforts by cruise lines to capture market share in the Southern Hemisphere, where international travel demand has remained steady. By positioning multiple vessels, the company aims to diversify its offerings between shorter regional circuits and extended global expeditions.

Additional details regarding specific departure ports and shore excursion programs are expected to be released as the booking window approaches. The season will officially commence in late 2028.
