Itinerary and trip length

The Crown Princess is scheduled to sail a published 30-night itinerary from Sydney to Los Angeles, from November 4 to December 3, 2026. The planned route combines New Zealand, Fiji, French Polynesia, and Hawaii with extended stretches at sea. The first calls are at the Bay of Islands, Auckland, and Tauranga, followed by Suva and Dravuni in Fiji, and then Papeete and Moorea. Honolulu, Maui, and Hilo come next, followed by five more days at sea before Los Angeles. The itinerary alternates port visits across several island regions with long Pacific crossings.

The published day-by-day schedule lists 31 numbered entries for the 30 nights, because November 15 appears twice when the ship crosses the International Date Line; 19 entries are marked as sea days. The schedule allows about 15 hours in Papeete on November 18 and a call in Suva on November 13 from 10 a.m. until just before midnight. In Honolulu, the schedule shows a port stay from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. on November 25. These three planned port windows illustrate the different lengths of stay on this voyage.

Life on board and dining

The Princess fact sheet lists Botticelli, Da Vinci, and Michelangelo as the three main dining rooms. Other venues include Sabatini’s, Crown Grill, and Planks BBQ. These complement the main dining rooms with Italian cuisine, steakhouse fare, and barbecue.

For outdoor areas, the fact sheet lists four pools and a separate splash pool. The operator’s website also mentions hot tubs.
