Revised Crown Princess 2025 world cruise remains destination-rich

Like Island Princess’ revised 2025 world cruise to avoid the Red Sea, Crown Princess will also no longer visit Asia or the Middle East on her 113-day 2025 world cruise departing Sydney June 4.

Instead, she will sail up the west coast of Africa, resuming her original itinerary in Lisbon on July 20, adding new ports in Africa and Europe. 

The 3,080-passenger Crown Princess will be the largest Love Boat to embark on a global circumnavigation.

New route

After crossing to Adelaide and Fremantle, she will head to Port Louis, Mauritius; Cape Town, South Africa; Walvis Bay, Namibia; Mindel, Cape Verde Islands; Las Palmas, Canary Islands; Casablanca, Morocco; Gibraltar; Valencia, Barcelona, Palma and Cartagena, Spain; Tangier, Morocco; and Cádiz, Spain, before arriving in Lisbon.

As planned, she will continue to France, Ireland and Scotland, before arriving in the UK.

From there she visits Norway, Iceland, Greenland, Canada, New York and Florida before transiting the Panama Canal.

Then it’s on to Peru, Chile, Pitcairn Island, French Polynesia and New Zealand, before returning to Sydney on September 26.

Destination rich

‘These global events beyond our control have necessitated these reroutings, but we are pleased to continue to ensure these world cruises retain destination-rich itineraries, with incredible stops along the west Africa coast and the Mediterranean,’ Princess Cruises CCO Terry Thornton said.
