World Cruises
There is nothing quite like a World Cruise. No other kind of holiday experience allows you to explore so much of the world while enjoying the luxurious surroundings of a beautiful cruise ship.
Our collection of cruises around the world in 2025, 2026 and 2026 includes voyages with various cruise lines, including Regent Seven Seas, Silversea and Crystal Cruises. We also offer worldwide cruises with P&O Cruises, Cunard and Fred Olsen, should you wish to avoid flying to an overseas embarkation port.
Don’t forget! As you might expect, World Cruises are incredibly desirable and nearly always sell out – sometimes up to a year before departure. This demand, coupled with the fact that around the world cruises are rarely subject to discounted fares, means that securing your suite or stateroom early is recommended to avoid disappointment.
Why Choose A World Cruise?
A World Cruise is the perfect choice if you are a regular cruiser looking for your next big adventure. Maybe you have visited many famous cruise regions on separate voyages and are now looking to combine these experiences into one unforgettable odyssey. Or perhaps cruising around the world aboard a cruise ship remains the only unticked box on your travel bucket list.
The practical attractions are apparent: Almost three full months circling a raft of all-encompassing natural treasures laid out one after another, day after glorious day. However, the spiritual benefits should also factor in your consideration process. This unique travel experience will forge life-long friendships based on a shared experience.
Whatever your reasons for considering such a special voyage, it’s more than likely that the experience will live up to your every expectation. Throughout your journey, you will enjoy balmy days at sea, moonlit ocean crossings, mouthwatering cuisine, fantastic service and all the benefits of packing and unpacking once.
World Cruise Lines
Nearly all major cruise lines offer some form of around-the-world cruise. From famous operators like Cunard to purveyors of small-ship luxury such as Seabourn and Regent Seven Seas, you’ll find plenty of choices for choosing the line that suits your requirements.
Here is a selection of our favourite lines:
- Crystal Cruises
- Cunard
- Holland America Cruise Line
- MSC Cruises
- Oceania Cruises
- P&O Cruises
- Regent Seven Seas Cruises
- Royal Caribbean International
- Silversea
In addition, several cruise lines offer specialist world cruises. For example, Silversea has operated an extended expedition itinerary designed to explore an array of remote regions in one extended voyage. While rare, these itineraries provide an alternative to the traditional experience but are often extremely popular, so booking early is advised.
Sectors & Shorter Voyages
Cruise lines operating World Cruises will occasionally divide the itinerary and allow the shorter segments to be booked as separate voyages. These are known as ‘sectors’ or Grand Voyages.
World Cruise sectors have many advantages, especially if you cannot make allowances for being away from home for 85+ days. They are also ideal if you are considering a world cruise but are unsure whether you would enjoy being away for a long time. If you want the experience, you can book safely, knowing you will get the most out of it.
Finally, there are cost benefits, as booking a sector will be considerably cheaper than a 100+ night voyage.
