Princess Cruises is preparing to open bookings for its popular 105-night world cruise departing from Sydney, Brisbane and Auckland in 2019.

Describing it as the line’s “Greatest Hits voyage”, Stuart Allison, Princess Cruises vice president Australia and NZ said the highlights included overnight stays in St Petersburg, New York and Dubai. The 32-country itinerary also features visits to 15 UNESCO World Heritage Sites and 14 late-night stays in cities such as London, Lima, Berlin and Barcelona.

For the past four years, parent company Carnival Australia’s biggest booking day has been the date that Princess’ world cruise goes on sale, Allison said, “so I think we can safely say it’s the most anticipated booking day for the Australian cruise industry”.
