Discover the World by Sea

Experience the beauty of the world. Leave your stress behind. Say goodbye to long flights and multiple reservations. With just one booking, you can unpack once and embark on an unforgettable journey across the globe. Experience the world like never before with a world cruise or world sector. 

Dreaming of island hopping through French Polynesia, exploring Africa’s breathtaking cities, and cruising through Asia without the hassle of repacking your bags? Want to see the stunning beaches of Seychelles and the ancient Mayan temples in Mexico, or discover hard-to-reach gems like Easter Island and Antarctica? How about doing it all, while enjoying the comfort and luxury of a contemporary cruise ship?

A world cruise – whether it spans 100 days or 250+ days – is meticulously crafted to provide you with the ultimate travel experience. Immerse yourself in different cultures, explore postcard-perfect destinations, and create lifelong memories. Say goodbye to the hassle of switching hotels and long-haul flights. And if you don’t have a spare 250+ days of annual leave, then maybe a world sector will do (for now). With so many world itineraries, which are then also broken up into shorter sectors, the options are endless, and the once-in-a-lifetime experiences are boundless.

Is a World Cruise Worth It?

In our opinion, yes, absolutely! And many would agree with us.

So many in fact, that world cruises are now increasingly offered by multiple cruise lines because of how popular they have become. These extraordinary journeys, usually starting in cities like Southampton, New York, Sydney, Fort Lauderdale, or Rome, give you the freedom to embark on a complete circumnavigation of the world, or opt for your favourite portion. 

Spanning anywhere from 99 to 274 nights, there are so many options you can choose from when it comes to selecting the ideal world cruise to suit your preferences. If you’re an avid cruiser who is already in love with this style of travel, you may be ready to stretch yourself and choose a more in-depth experience that allows you to stop overnight in incredible cities, explore each stop in depth, and island hop your way around the world – all without ever switching hotels, repacking your bags, or dealing with lingering jet lag.

It’s an adventure that effortlessly combines relaxation and exploration. What more could you want? To see the world? Oh yes, it has that box ticked too!

⚓ When you venture on a world cruise, not only do you have the luxury of time, but you also get the chance to explore at night. Forget about rushing and racing from point A to point B. This experience allows the ship to offer overnight stays in many ports. So, you’ll have the opportunity to discover iconic and exotic places both during the day and night, providing a whole new perspective on your destinations.

⚓ A world cruise grants you the precious gift of time. Traveling overland often involves meticulous planning, accepting delays, and dealing with travel hassles. But on a world cruise, everything is taken care of.

⚓ Travel with like-minded people, and with 3+ months on board together, you’ll develop lifelong friendships so that you’re taking home more than just memories at the end of your experience.
