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 144-enchanting days aboard some of the finest cruise ships in the world. Liner Voyages of 31 to 76 days and Segment Voyages of 12 to 25 days are also available on some cruise lines so you can experience the special ambiance of a world cruise by joining the ship when she visits your favorite part of the world!

In 2011 the New Queen Elizabeth will set out on her Maiden World Voyage. Seabourn Sojourn's 2011 World Cruise is to include unique shoreside events. And you can enjoy a Full World Cruise or a Segment Voyage aboard Regent Seven Seas, Crystal Cruises, Silversea Cruises, Princess Cruises and Holland America.

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.
