Of all the world's travel experiences, none can compare to a world cruise. You will discover legendary antiquities from the Acropolis in Athens to the Pyramids of Egypt. Trace the footsteps of biblical prophets in Israel from Jerusalem to Nazareth. Transit the historic Suez Canal, sail the Pacific to Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam and Hong Kong. Traverse Australia and view the incredible fjords of New Zealand. Explore Australia' kaleidoscopic Great Barrier Reef.

It is not only where you journey that determines your overall enjoyment, but how. A world cruise offers the ultimate travel adventure! You will see parts of the world you always dreamed about -- and all from the comfort of your luxurious cruise ship.

Many of the major cruise lines offer full world cruises from 65- to 104-enchanting days aboard some of the finest cruise ships in the world. Like the aristocratic Crystal Serenity, Cunard's celebrated QE2 and in 2007 the Queen Mary 2, Holland America's Prinsendam or Amsterdam, or Radisson Seven Seas Cruises' Seven Seas Voyager. Many of these cruises are also sold in segments, so you can experience the special ambiance of a world cruise by joining the ship when she visits your favorite part of the world!

World Cruises and World Cruise Segments depart from all over the world. If you're interested in making the whole trip, most typically depart from Ft. Lauderdale, New York, or Los Angeles in January, February or March.
