A trip around the world is the dream of many a traveler; and,
a cruise around the world is a luxurious way to go. Several cruise lines offer
world cruises, which usually last for three or four months and visit multiple
continents – and, some itineraries truly do circumnavigate the globe.
A world cruise will take you to a stunning variety of ports,
letting you experience many different destinations, cultures and cuisines. World
cruises also generate a special sense of community among the passengers.
There’s lots of time to relax and unwind, enjoy the amenities of the ship,
attend classes and lectures, and make new friends with others who love to travel.
If a cruise this spectacular sounds like it would be beyond
your budget, talk with your Cruise Holidays personal cruise expert before you
cross a world cruise off your bucket list. If you’ve ever thought about taking
an extended winter vacation, or if you’re already a “snowbird” who spends the
winter in a location warmer than your home, you may find a world cruise to be
more affordable than you think.
Traditionally, world cruises begin in January and sail
through March or April. There are a few exceptions, though, including an
Oceania world cruise that departs from Miami on July 8, 2015. Still, most of
2015’s world cruises are underway. Looking ahead to 2016, Crystal Cruises’ Crystal Serenity will depart from San
Francisco January 24 to spend 101 nights sailing to Sydney, Bali, Singapore,
Shanghai, Tokyo and points in between.
Holland America’s Amsterdam
will depart from Ft. Lauderdale January 5 for a 114-night voyage with a Panama
Canal crossing. The ship will call on the western coast of South America, then
sail to French Polynesia, Australia, Asia, the Middle East, the Eastern
Mediterranean and Western Europe.
Princess Cruises’ Pacific Princess will depart January 3
from Ft. Lauderdale, though passengers can also join the ship on Jan. 20 in Los
Angeles. The 111-night itinerary includes ports in Hawaii, Australia, Asia, the
Middle East, the Mediterranean and the Caribbean.
A world cruise can be the experience of a lifetime; Anita
Thompson, your Cruise Holidays personal cruise expert, can help you sort
through all of the important details and choose one that will give you the most
