When the time has finally come to embark on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, a world cruise always seems to top the list. Sailing seems to bring the most diverse cultures, iconic landmarks and breathtaking scenery to the forefront – in fact, cruising the oceans is the best way to see the world. And thanks to numerous channels and straits, plus the Panama and Suez canals, the luxury cruise lines enjoy such enormous free rein.
So when it comes to finding the best around-the-world cruises out there, travel industry’s top choices are neck and neck – for variety, luxury, authenticity and immersion. Which will you choose? Tully Luxury Travel has a few favorites to share with you.
Cross continents and cultures
Aboard the Crystal Serenity, the Crystal World Cruise itinerary from San Diego to Miami weaves you through the South Pacific and Australia, through East Asia and the Suez Canal, into the Mediterranean and across the Atlantic. This exceptional voyage gets you into the heart of the destinations thanks to the land-excursion wizardry of Abercrombie & Kent.
Navigate the whole world
Regent Seven Seas sails you from Miami to San Francisco – going the absolute long way around aboard the Seven Seas Mariner. Head through the Caribbean and down the coast of South America, then down to Antarctica and back. Cross the Pacific to Australia, before sailing through East Asia, and from Japan over to Alaska. This circumnavigation is filled with incredible on-shore enrichment, plus luxurious on-board experiences.
Take the route less traveled
Silversea Cruises has a surprising itinerary in store for world travelers on their Controtempo World Cruise from Tokyo to New York aboard the luxurious Silver Dawn. They promise “off-season, off-tempo and off-the-beaten-path” excitement through 30 countries. From Japan and China, the ship heads through East Asia and India, through the Suez and into the Mediterranean. Stops in Europe and the UK are followed by a few Baltic Sea ports, before the ship reaches Iceland, Greenland and Eastern Canada.
Enjoy natural beauty and exotic sites
Los Angeles to Athens is the plan with Seabourn Cruise Line's World Cruise. “Extraordinary Horizons” are in order for explorers on the Seabourn Sojourn. Hawaii and French Polynesia are followed by New Zealand and Australia, then the Philippines and Japan. Several stops in China and more in Southeast Asia lead the Sojourn across the Arabian Sea, and through the Suez Canal to the Middle East and the Greek Islands. Heritage sites, chef excursions and stunning harbors await on this voyage.
Literally see the world
Imagine a full itinerary with the opulent Oceania Cruises on their Miami to New York World Cruise aboard the luxurious Insignia. You head south through the Caribbean and down South America’s Atlantic coast, before crossing to South Africa and into the Indian Ocean’s many exciting ports. India and Southeast Asia follow, as you then sail around Australia and through the South Pacific to Hawaii. The tour finishes with a spectacular leg from San Diego and Central America through the Panama Canal to the Caribbean once more.
