A world voyage is the classic cruising experience, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to explore new destinations and circle the globe. A typical world cruise will take 3 months to complete, visiting at least 30 ports plus shorter sectors which can range from 7 to 70 nights. The most popular starting point for world voyages is Southampton, however other voyages will begin from New York, Miami or Los Angles. World cruises will take in destinations including Australia, Africa, South America, India, Asia and the Pacific.
When to Visit?
The most popular time for world cruises is departing in January through to April or May, depending on length. In recent years some world voyages have departed in Autumn or Spring, but these are rare exceptions. Weather depends, of course, on destination and will vary.
