Our experts share their insights into getting the most out of your travels.
Spending more than 100 days sailing the world might seem like an intrepid, once-in-a-lifetime kind of experience. In reality, this style of long-haul travel has become enormously popular — and it’s entirely achievable.
If a world cruise sounds intriguing, chances are you’re already a seasoned traveler. These longer, immersive voyages are a natural next step to access more off-the-beaten-path cities and remote islands, to try new excursions in your favorite destinations, and to spend more time on land.
Creating a home at sea naturally appeals to certain kinds of travelers. For snowbirds who like to escape the cold of winter, you can spend those months at sea and experience the world one port at a time. And with many ships offering fast, reliable Wi-Fi at sea, it’s possible to work remotely from aboard a cruise ship.
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to choosing a world cruise. Itineraries change year by year, and ship by ship. For example, Royal Caribbean has announced its first-ever Ultimate World Cruise in 2023 — an epic, 274-night journey that encompasses more than 150 destinations on all seven continents. A more intimate voyage with many amenities included is Seabourn’s 140-day Extraordinary Discoveries Cruise that connects Miami and Barcelona by way of 32 countries. Uniworld is pioneering the global river cruise, a 46-night journey to nine countries aboard five Super Ships.
