After the incredible memories we made on our 2025 World Cruise, Walter and I knew lightning could strike twice—and it did. We’ve booked another once-in-a-lifetime adventure: the Circle Pacific World Cruise, a 131-day journey departing Fort Lauderdale on January 5 and concluding in Los Angeles on May 16. This epic voyage on the Coral Princess traces a sweeping arc across the Pacific, trading familiar horizons for far-flung cultures, iconic coastlines, and weeks of pure, unhurried exploration at sea.

What has us especially excited is Asia. Beyond the Philippines and Hong Kong, this part of the world is still largely new to us, and we can’t wait to experience its history, flavors, and traditions firsthand. From ancient temples and vibrant street life to ultramodern cities and serene coastal landscapes, Asia feels like a whole new chapter waiting to be opened.

The highlights of this cruise are nothing short of extraordinary:

• A true circumnavigation of the Pacific, visiting multiple continents on a single, seamless journey
• A rich variety of ports of call, with longer stays inBangkok and Halong Bay/ Hanoi that allow for deeper exploration
• A dazzling mix of tropical islands, cosmopolitan cities, and natural wonders
• Long stretches at sea that bring that special world-cruise rhythm—time to relax, reflect, and truly savor the journey

After how magical our last world cruise was, we’re thrilled to be setting out again—curious, grateful, and more than ready to see what this Circle Pacific adventure has in store. 🌏
