To sail around the world. Is there a more joyful sounding holiday? It means you’ve got the time, and the resources, to be able to go away - often in January - and leave the winter behind for months on end. It’s the ultimate travel experience. 

The wonderful thing about a world cruise is that there is no set path. Each and every one is different. Some companies, such as Cunard, sail out of the UK. Others out of the United States and some out of Europe. These sailings don’t just take in countries, they span continents. From the United States, guests could head south to the Caribbean and South America or across the Atlantic to Europe - but where to beyond that? On no other holiday will guests see or do as much as on a world cruise. Imagine having a beer on a beach in Barbados on the same holiday as eating sushi in Tokyo. 

Unsurprisingly these voyages are not short. Grand voyages are typically more than a month but world cruises can be anything up to 180 days - as with Oceania Cruises - and sometimes even beyond that. 

This isn’t about ticking a few items off a bucket list. It’s about ripping up the bucket list and fully embracing the life of a full time luxury traveller. This is about going beyond the guidebooks. Experiencing different cultures, eating the dozens of local cuisines and seeing the world like never before.
