World Cruises and Grand Voyages - Cruises up to 110 days
The classic world cruise itineraries embarked in New York or Southampton and worked their way westward. Routes varied, either traveling through the Caribbean and then into the Pacific Ocean via the Panama Canal, or around Cape Horn. From there ships usually made their way to Hawaii, the islands of the South Pacific, Australia, New Zealand, then northward to Hong Kong, South East Asia and India.
Today, world cruise itineraries focus less on the strict definition of circling the earth and more on the concept of a fascinating voyage.
Almost always, a world cruise today will include a comprehensive segment in the South Pacific, Australia and Asia. Also appealing to sophisticated travelers, the trip will frequently call in the Mediterranean, where so much fascinating history and culture are on display.
World Cruise Segments
In most cases, a world cruise can be broken into segments that allow travelers to join the journey for three weeks or a month.
First timers often commit to one or two segments in order to be sure that they are comfortable with the extended itinerary. This option also works for people who don't want to buy the complete cruise or for people who can't get away for up to four months at a time.
Segments allow travelers to cruise from Los Angeles to Australia, for instance, or from Singapore back to California. Somebody on the East Coast might join the cruise as it works back toward North America from the Middle East or the Mediterranean. There are dozens of options.
Grand Voyages
Another way to test your sea legs: Holland America Line, Cunard Line and Princess Cruises are among the cruise lines that offer extended "Grand Voyages" of 25 to 60 days. Grand Voyages typically will take you on a convenient roundtrip cruise from a U.S. port.
