Itinerary

Departs: 4:00 PM

There are two dedicated cruise passenger terminals - the White Bay Cruise Terminal at Rozelle and the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay in the city centre. This is your opportunity to marvel at Australia’s famous icons, the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge as you glide past The Heads - the dramatic sandstone cliffs at the entrance of the harbour.

Even if you’re not sailing to Naples (this time), you can still enjoy one of their greatest contributions to the culinary world. Alfredo’s / Gigi’s Pizzeria serves up certified authentic Neapolitan pizza made to order from scratch in a cheery restaurant named after our very own executive chef and inspired by the colors and landscapes of the Amalfi coast.

Arrives: 6:30 AM Departs: 7:00 PM

Known as the city of sails, Auckland is built on a narrow strip of land surrounded by two harbours, dotted with 50 picturesque islands. In the centre, the iconic Sky Tower has views of Viaduct Harbour, which is full of superyachts and lined with bars and cafes. Volcanic cones, forest parks and stunning beaches are all within easy reach.

In downtown Auckland you can enjoy world-class dining, shopping, and sights. If you've a mind to explore, visit the island volcano of Rangitoto, or head to Waiheke, known as 'the island of wine' each are within a 40 minute ferry ride of your port.

Arrives: 7:00 AM Departs: 4:00 PM

The Bay of Islands, a stunning archipelago encompassing 144 islands and including the boutique towns of Opua, Paihia, Russell and Kerikeri, is famed for its turquoise waters and rich Māori history. Take a boat tour to explore the iconic Hole in the Rock or spot dolphins. Visit Russell, a picturesque town with colonial history, or the Waitangi Treaty Grounds, where New Zealand’s founding document was signed. Your ship will anchor in the bay, just off Russell, and you'll tender ashore.

Love Sabatini’s? (Or really good Italian dinners?) You’ll be happy to hear this popular specialty restaurant has returned to its roots. Think traditional Italian comfort cuisine. Our new menu embraces the old: tried-and-true family recipes our chefs brought with them from Italy, plus exquisite Italian wines and cocktails. You can even enjoy some shareable plates exclusively at Sabatini’s Trattoria.

Arrives: 8:00 AM Departs: 11:59 PM

Fiji's capital city is a modern multicultural centre dotted with colonial-era buildings, and numerous parks and gardens tucked among the hilly peninsula. Cultural activities, delicious cuisine and abundant shopping offer something for everyone. Ships will dock at King's Wharf.

Top Things to Do in Suva:

  • explore the Colo-i-Suva Forest Park
  • visit the eco-friendly Pure Fiji beauty care factory
  • take a longboat along the Navua River
  • learn about the Fijian way of life at a local village
  • relax at a beachfront resort

Arrives: 7:00 AM Departs: 4:00 PM

Dravuni is a tropical island paradise with soft white sands, reclining palm trees and impossibly clear blue waters. A perfect example of timelessness, Dravuni has remained virtually unchanged for thousands of years.

Walk along a palm-lined path that leads you up a small inland peak for stunning island views. Swim and snorkel in the crystal waters, walk around the village and meet some of the friendly Fijians or just relax on the pristine beach. This unspoilt island is the perfect place to unwind.

Ships will anchor offshore and tenders will be provided to the shore.

Take a dip in our sparkling freshwater pools and leave your everyday world behind. Unwind on a padded lounger and soak up the sun, catch up on reading, listen to music or dream of your next adventure on board or ashore. And what better way to relax and revitalize after a day exploring the world than a long soak in one of our whirling hot tubs. And don’t forget, there is always a server nearby to bring you a refreshing cocktail or favourite beverage.

Arrives: 9:00 AM Departs: 6:00 PM

Located on Upolu Island, Apia is home to spectacular rainforests, waterfalls, sand dunes, beaches and brilliant sunrises and sunsets. This charming colonial-style town is the hub of business, government and shopping within Samoa. Ships will dock in Apia Harbour.

Top Things to Do in Apia:

  • visit Maketi Fou, a 24 hour market

The international date line, established in 1884, passes through the mid-Pacific Ocean and roughly follows a 180 degrees longitude north to south line on the Earth. It does zigzag around political borders such as eastern Russia and Alaska’s Aleutian Islands.

Crossing the date line eastbound decreases the date by one day, while crossing the date line westbound increases the date. So when you cross east to west you always lose a day and crossing from west to east you get the same day twice (or gain a day).

Add a new twist or two to your dance moves with a wide variety of fun classes like country line dancing, ballroom, salsa, and more. Get your heart pumping with a high energy Zumba class or take your sweetheart for a spin on one of our pulsating night clubs.

Arrives: 8:00 AM Departs: 11:00 PM

Tahiti, the largest island in French Polynesia, enchants with its lush landscapes and vibrant culture. Explore the bustling capital, Papeete, where the colorful market offers local crafts and exotic produce. Relax at the stunning black-sand beaches of Pointe Venus or dive into crystal-clear waters teeming with marine life. Don’t miss the Arahoho Blowhole, where ocean waves force air and water through a natural rock formation, creating spectacular sprays. For a touch of history, visit the Museum of Tahiti and Her Islands to learn about the island's rich heritage.

Port:Papeete

The Papeete Cruise Port is located right in the city center so attractions such as the vibrant Papeete Market are just a short walk away. To visit more distant attractions like the stunning Fautaua Waterfall, consider a taxi or a guided excursion. Don’t miss out on trying local Tahitian cuisine or visiting the Black Pearl Museum.

Arrives: 7:00 AM Departs: 5:00 PM

Oahu, known as "The Gathering Place," is a vibrant blend of natural beauty and urban charm. From Honolulu's Ala Moana Center, the largest open-air shopping center in the world or alternatively for nature enthusiasts, hike up Diamond Head for breathtaking views or relax on the famous Waikiki Beach. For a taste of local life, visit the North Shore to witness world-class surfing and enjoy the laid-back atmosphere. Don't miss the chance to sample local delicacies at a luau, where traditional Hawaiian cuisine and entertainment create an unforgettable evening.

Port:Honolulu

Dive into history at the Iolani Palace, the only royal palace in the United States, and pay respects at the Pearl Harbor National Memorial, a poignant reminder of World War II. Stroll through the lively Waikiki Beach area, where you can sunbathe, surf, or shop at upscale boutiques.

Arrives: 8:00 AM Departs: 7:00 PM

Maui, known as the "Valley Isle," is home to the world’s largest dormant volcano in Haleakalā National Park. The sunrise view from the summit is a spectacular experience, but the park's trails and unique flora and fauna are equally enchanting throughout the day. In the afternoon, head to the scenic Road to Hana, a winding drive that offers stunning coastal views, waterfalls, and lush rainforests. Stop by the charming town of Paia for a taste of local cuisine and unique boutiques.

Port:Kahului

Kahului is the primary cruise port on the Hawaiian island of Maui, with ships docking directly at Kahului Harbor. The town center is just 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) away, making it a quick 5-minute drive. For those looking to explore further, Lahaina, a historic whaling village with vibrant shops and restaurants, is about 36 kilometers (22 miles) away, roughly a 45-minute drive.

It’s no surprise The Shops are awarded “Best Onboard Shopping” from Porthole magazine year after year. You’ll find fine merchandise from brands like Swarovski, Chanel, Estée Lauder, Clinique, Lancôme, Calvin Klein, Citizen and Tissot, plus local crafts, keepsakes and souvenirs. Venues vary by ship and are subject to change.

Arrives: 7:00 AM

Los Angeles, a sprawling Southern California city, is famed not only for its influence on the entertainment industry but also for its diverse cultural offerings and sunny coastline. Highlights include the Getty Center, where art and stunning architecture meet in an expansive hilltop setting, and the historic Griffith Observatory, which offers panoramic views of the city and beyond.

For those disembarking mid-morning, a stroll through the vibrant streets of Santa Monica or a visit to the eclectic Venice Beach Boardwalk provides a perfect slice of local life. Both are excellent spots to enjoy the quintessential SoCal sun, sand, and surf, complete with shops, street performers, and seaside eateries.

Alaska Princess Cruise Tour with friends 4 , NSW, Australia, Aug 2024
I have just returned from USA after one month holiday. My 13 days Alaska Princess Cruise tour was booked by Rachael at Global Journeys. I was very appreciate what Rachael has done for us from the beginning to the end of this trip. On our Princess Land Tour (6 days) we (me & 8 friends) stayed at Captain Cook Hotel in Anchorage and other Princess, Kenai, read more Mt McKinley and Denali Wilderness Lodges. All these lodges are quite remote with beautiful gardens, cosy rooms . The view is spectacular especially the one in Kenai, it is very romantic with mountain, Kenai river and the wooden fire in each room. Staff there were very friendly and helpful. I loved it so much and wished that I could stay longer. On our southbound cruise ship from Anchorage to Vancouver wa beautiful although quite old. Staff were friendly and nice. Food was delicious, plenty and varied every day. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Ports stops were relaxing with plenty of time to explore. We enjoyed many entertainments on sea days or relaxed by the window to see the scenery.
Alaskan Cruise   3 , VIC, Australia, Apr 2024
First time cruise and enjoyed every minute. Princess cruises are well organised and the cruise went according to plan. Great food and on board entertainment was entertaining. A very relaxing 7 days and the scenery breathtaking.
Mini Cruise 6 , NSW, Australia, Mar 2024
Great way to travel back to Sydney from Melbourne. We were quite impressed with Princess Cruises. Fantastic shows, food and service. Well organised and loved talking to lots of different people at the shared tables which were always available at different times. You need to book at all restaurants if you want to sit with just your party.
14-Day New Zealand Cruise - Melbourne Return 6 , VIC, Australia, Feb 2024
Our cruise with the Grand Princess was absolutely fantastic and would recommend it to everyone. Our agent Hannah was simply great with our booking, planning, updates, reassurances everything was completed, etc. She was most helpful in every way and she was most appreciated as she will be with our next two bookings. Thanks Hannah.
Tour Downunder 1 , VIC, Australia, Mar 2023
The highlights of the trip were being with family from UK and showing them my adopted home; I found the visit to Port Lincoln the most interesting and would have liked more time in the Coffin Bay area. The staff on board were amazing, nothing was too much trouble. Unfortunately the weather was not favourable so no swimming. My cabin was very comfortable, read more especially the bed and I enjoyed my balcony.
