   January 7, 2026 ,   Cruise Industry

Princess Cruises has outlined an extended deployment of its fleet for the 2027 Northern Europe season, scheduling a series of 48 voyages to 54 ports across 18 countries, with bookings due to open on January 13th, 2026.

The program includes a range of itinerary lengths, from week-long passages to the line’s most extensive European voyage to date, the 64-day Ultimate European Journey, designed to provide wide coverage of northern latitudes. 

At the centre of the deployment, the 3,560-passenger Regal Princess will offer a sequence of combinable cruises, from a 7-day Capitals itinerary to the extended Ultimate European Journey and a 49-day Northern Europe Explorer that operates roundtrip from Southampton or Copenhagen with overnight stays in Stockholm and Cobh. 

In concert with the Regal Princess, three other vessels — Majestic Princess, Sky Princess and Caribbean Princess — will be assigned to specific sectors within the Northern Europe framework, covering the British Isles, the Baltic Sea, Iceland and Norway, and Scandinavian countries, affirming the company’s intention to offer a comprehensive regional program.

The season’s wider itinerary structure is configured to connect a broad array of destinations and regions, including Atlantic and Mediterranean legs integrated into the broader Northern Europe schedule, with homeports Southampton, Copenhagen, Reykjavík, Helsinki and Fort Lauderdale. Ports of call range from major capitals such as Barcelona, Oslo and Stockholm to more remote fjords and heritage locales, enabling layered exploration across multiple countries. 

Princess Cruises’ planning for the 2027 Northern European season situates this expanded schedule as one of the most varied deployments the brand has offered in these waters, with an emphasis on flexible routing and optional combinations of voyages that can be tailored by passengers seeking both shorter and extended maritime journeys.
