Key Aspects:
- Princess Cruises has just released its 2027-2028 West Coast Season, which is jam-packed with 69 different sailings.
- The itineraries sail to popular destinations in Mexico, Hawaii, and California from Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Vancouver.
- Eight ships will be deployed to the region, including the newly debuted Star Princess.
Princess Cruises just released its 2027-2028 West Coast Season, and as a California girl, I couldn’t be more thrilled.
During this exciting season, eight Princess cruise ships will operate a grand total of 69 sailings between September 2027 and April 2028 – offering guests a great opportunity to soak in some warm weather during the cooler months.
“Princess Cruises has been Los Angeles’ hometown cruise line for nearly 60 years, and no one sails the West Coast quite like we do,” said Jim Berra, Princess Cruises Chief Commercial Officer.
“We connect guests effortlessly to the sun-soaked beauty of the Pacific Coast, Mexico, and Hawaii. Our long-standing presence on the West Coast is a point of pride and a promise that we’ll continue to deliver unforgettable vacations,” Berra added.
Staying true to form, a total of 15 unique itineraries to destinations throughout Mexico, Hawaii, and California’s Coast are being offered.
They will be operated by Coral Princess, Crown Princess, Emerald Princess, Island Princess, Discovery Princess, Royal Princess, and Ruby Princess.
Star Princess will also make an appearance on the West Coast during this season, which is particularly exciting since she is the newest ship to join the fleet and the second Sphere-class vessel.
Her official maiden voyage in the US is quickly approaching on November 7, 2025, but the 4,300-guest ship is already operating her inaugural sailings in Europe.
Itinerary Highlights
With a variety of West Coast itineraries offered, which range in length from 4-night getaway sailings to 16-night voyages, there is truly something for everyone.
Starting with Mexico sailings, 34 different cruises will be offered that range in length from 7- to 11-nights.
Discovery Princess will primarily operate 7-night sailings to the Mexican Riviera out of Los Angeles, California – although she will operate one 10-night holiday sailing to Baja in December 2027.
Crown Princess will join her in Los Angeles to operate 10- and 11-night itineraries to Mexico’s Baja Peninsula.
Meanwhile, Ruby Princess will offer a single 11-night sailing to the Mexican Riviera that embarks from San Francisco, California, on October 27, 2027 – just in time for Halloween.

Crown Princess and Ruby Princess will also join Emerald Princess in operating 18 sailings to Hawaii.
Like Crown Princess, the 3,080-guest Emerald Princess will be homeporting in Los Angeles. Ruby Princess will continue to operate out of San Francisco.
Two separate 16-night itineraries are available, all of which feature port calls to four Hawaiian islands.
Select sailings also include late evening departures from Honolulu and Kona to allow more time for island exploration and relaxation.
Last but not least, Princess will offer nine different itineraries across 17 different sailings to explore California’s Coast.
These itineraries range in length from 4- to 7-nights, and will sail round-trip out of Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Vancouver, Canada.
Notably, the new Star Princess will operate just one of these sailings from Vancouver, which will be a 7-night cruise to Seattle, San Francisco, and Los Angeles that embarks on October 3, 2027.
Seven other Princess ships will operate the other 17 sailings, including Coral Princess, Crown Princess, Discovery Princess, Emerald Princess, Island Princess, Royal Princess, and Ruby Princess.
All of these itineraries are already for sale (along with many more!) and don’t forget that you can always book your next sailing with Cruise Hive.
