Interesting to see the Sapphire Princess in Europe.  I wonder what ships we will see in Alaska in 2026.  I know I read that the Star Princess was going to be sailing to Alaska in 2026.

Sapphire was in Europe in 2018 and 2019.

They just recently released South America cruises for 2025/2026. It will probably be about a year if you are looking for 2026/2027 South America cruises.

A little disappointed in the 2026 Europe itineraries for the Adriatic cruises. In 2025, there are 10-day cruises that include Split and Malta, which what we wanted to do in 2026. At least the 7-day in 2026, are round-trip out of Rome. I guess we can't get everything!

It's a bit disappointing for anyone wanting to sail south from the UK. I spotted three itineraries to the Mediterranean - all in UK school holiday times, which is something I avoid if possible. Most others are around the British Isles, or sailing north, except a few to the Canaries.

 

It may just be me, but when living in the UK, I like to holiday in warmer places. If I have missed any please let me know.

I was hoping for something similar.  In 2025 there is a nice 31 day Mediterranean cruise round tip from Southampton.  I was hoping for something similar in 2026 - a long med cruise to and from Southampton.  Our backup plan is to book a transatlantic in 2026 followed by a Caribbean cruise but this does require a flight home.

Can someone explain how the mechanics of the kickoff works?  I have never been in a position to book a cruise so far in advance before, but I believe I can commit to a cruise that interests me.  Assume that I qualify for the early launch date (May 16) and I am on the East Coast.  Will these 2026 cruises appear on the website if I am logged in to the Princess site and allow me to book one?  If so, what time will that happen?  Or do I need to work through a TA or a Princess Cruise Specialist during the early booking period because they won't appear on the website until 5/23? Thanks in advance.

If you sign in to princess.com and are eligible they will show up. I just had this happen for the SA cruises a month ago. I did this around 8AM Arizona time the day they were released not sure if they were there earlier.
