Gilded Horizon – Sydney, Tokyo & Anchorage

About this cruise

Block out 129 nights from January 6, 2027 and let this sailing from Fort Lauderdale do its thing. The route covers Cartagena, Panama Canal and Panama City, with additional stops along the Australia & New Zealand and there's plenty of room to breathe between each stop. You wind up in Los Angeles, so it's worth planning a night or two there. The sea days come first, which means no rushing to get off the ship on day one. You hit the ports relaxed and ready. The Australia & New Zealand route takes in Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Mexico, United States, Fiji, Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea, Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and Canada, 19 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Juneau stands out. It's A capital only reachable by sea or sky. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Coral Princess keeps you well fed. 11 places to eat, with 7 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. If you've done the short cruises and want more, this is the upgrade. Longer, deeper, and more relaxed. If you can, add a night in Fort Lauderdale before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And a January cruise to warmer water? Hard to argue with that when it's cold at home. All in all, it's a solid trip.
