Princess Cruises’s Royal Princess will make her South-east Asia debut in October 2026, homeporting in Singapore for two cruises before continuing to her Australian season.
On September 19, 2026, Royal Princess will conclude her Alaska season and begin a 26-night Grand Adventure Cruise across South-east Asia, Japan, and Alaska. Departing Seattle, Washington, she will visit Juneau, College Fjord, Whittier, and cruise past Hubbard Glacier, before calling at ports in Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Vietnam, arriving in Singapore on October 16.
Guests can also join the second half of the cruise, a 13-night sailing from Yokohama on October 4, visiting Shimizu, Osaka, Keelung (Taipei), Hong Kong, and Chan May (Vietnam) before arriving in Singapore.
After arrival, Royal Princess, which carries 3,560 passengers, will undergo a two-week dry dock in Singapore. She will then begin her first Singapore-based cruise on November 1, a nine-night itinerary to Ho Chi Minh City, Bangkok, and Ko Samui, followed by a 13-night South-east Asia cruise departing November 10, including a stop in Lombok, Indonesia. The two cruises can be combined into a 22-night South-east Asia and Australia voyage, concluding in Sydney on November 25 with calls at Darwin, Yorkeys Knob, and Brisbane.
Onboard, passengers can access two cantilevered SeaWalk walkways, three swimming pools, a nightclub, multiple dining venues including a pizzeria, Italian trattoria, and 24-hour café, entertainment lounges, and original musical productions. The ship was christened in June 2013 in Southampton, England, by the Duchess of Cambridge, while she was pregnant with Prince George. A replica of the black-and-ivory Hobbs Dalmatian-print coat she wore is on permanent display onboard.
The announcement follows other regional expansions for Princess Cruises. Discovery Princess will make her maiden call to Singapore this October for a five-night Malaysian cruise. Sapphire Princess and Diamond Princess will homeport in Japan for the first time in 2027 after their Singapore season from December 2026 to February 2027. Diamond Princess will return to Singapore in December 2025 to February 2026 for 10/12-day sailings with stops at 10 destinations in Thailand, Malaysia, and Vietnam.
