Why Choose a World Cruise?

Why Choose a World Cruise?

As demand for cruising has reached a fever pitch, there are more cruises heading to more destinations throughout the world than ever before. Cruising has become one of the most popular ways to vacation, with everyone from retired couples to families with young children choosing to cruise each and every year. There are endless styles and lengths of cruises to choose from, from brief weekend getaways, to nearly year-long sailings that take you to every part of the world imaginable.

World cruises have been in existence for over 100 years, with the first around-the-world cruise setting sail in 1922. Since then they have become a staple for many mass-market, premium, and luxury brands that offer a variety of sailings across the globe each and every year, as well as shorter legs for those looking for less time aboard. So who is the world cruise traveler and why should you choose a world cruise for you next vacation experience?

More Destinations

A world cruise allows you to visit multiple destinations and continents around the world. You will have the chance to experience a vast variety of cultures and history- from ancient to recent years- all in the span of about half a year. Taste exotic flavors in Southeast Asia; marvel at the pyramids in Egypt; wander the ancient ruins in Athens; and peruse the galleries of the Louvre…all in one journey.

More Overnight Opportunities

Because of the length, many brands offer several overnights on their world cruises at popular ports, allowing their guests to dive deeper into the city or region they are visiting. Seasoned cruisers love overnights, especially on the longer voyages. An overnight on an itinerary shows that the cruise line is destination-focused, with the desire to provide guests with longer experiences in exotic and popular ports around the world.

More Friends

Since you will be on the ship for many weeks on a world cruise, you will undoubtably make new friends and connection that you will cherish forever. Each guest is your neighbor for the whole voyage, and you will have plenty of opportunity each and every day to socialize with your fellow passengers, dine together, play games, and enjoy group activities and excursions.

In addition the crew will become your family while onboard. You will see the same smiling faces each and every day, as they are always at the ready to assist you, exchange a cheerful word, and create inside jokes that will carry throughout your time onboard.

More Free Time

Because of the nature of a cruise, many details and plans are set in place for you by the incredible staff and concierge team. This will free you and your family up to relax and enjoy yourselves for the entire voyage. On a more traditional vacation you would have to plan your hotel stays, train and car transfers, flights, dining, laundry…every detail!

On a cruise, everything is right there where you need it; you will come back to the same cabin each and every night; and the concierge and excursion teams are always there to help make your activities and shore excursions as seamless as possible. All you have to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy seeing the world.
