Looking Ahead: Cruise Dreams for 2026, 2027 & Beyond
From Colombia’s untamed rivers to the temples of Japan and the timeless beauty of Egypt — the cruise world is unveiling some breathtaking new journeys. Come take a peek at what’s on the horizon… it might just inspire your next big adventure
Looking Ahead: A Glimpse into 2026–2027 and 2028!
While many of us are still choosing trips for 2026, the cruise world is already casting its gaze ahead, and what’s coming is nothing short of dazzling. From once-in-a-lifetime river journeys to bold new itineraries across the globe, the future of cruising is packed with possibility.
The Magdalena River: Colombia Like You’ve Never Seen It
AmaWaterways are breaking new ground with sailings along the Magdalena River, bringing travellers face to face with Colombia’s vibrant soul — think jungle-clad banks, cumbia rhythms, colourful markets, and rich cultural traditions. This is river cruising reimagined, and ideal for those looking for something truly unique.
Egypt Returns to Centre Stage
The Nile continues its timeless call, but now there’s even more to discover. With the spectacular Grand Egyptian Museum (nearly) fully open, a cruise through Egypt in 2026 or 2027 becomes even more magical — pairing ancient wonders with new discoveries.
Japan Beckons: Celebrity Cruises Set to Homeport in 2028
If Japan has ever been on your list, now’s the time to start dreaming. Celebrity Cruises will begin homeporting in Japan in 2028, opening the door to deeper itineraries and immersive cultural experiences. From cherry blossoms in spring to autumnal temples and hot spring towns, it’s a destination to savour slowly.
