Princess Cruises, known for its refined vibe, offers two embarkation ports — Fort Lauderdale or Los Angeles — for its 2025 116-day World Cruise aboard the 2,200-passenger Island Princess. The voyage features 48 ports of call across North America, Asia, Australia, Africa, and Europe, with highlights including the beaches of Hawaii and Fiji, the rugged landscapes of New Zealand, and the ancient cities of Petra, Jerusalem, and Rome.

Best of all — particularly for budget-conscious travelers — it’s the most affordable world cruise on the market. Despite this, passengers are still privy to amenities like world-class entertainment, a handful of dining options, fitness facilities, and access to the youth and teens club. At the heart of the ship is the grand, multi-story and Italian-inspired atrium where guests can find musicians, jugglers, acrobats, and other performances.
