A world cruise is one of the most iconic and exciting travel adventures. It is a once-in-a-lifetime experience which adorns the bucket lists of those with insatiable wanderlust – but rarely an item which gets ticked off. An extra special voyage, a world cruise should be experienced in the lap of luxury with one of our fantastic all-inclusive cruise line partners, so that you can really make the most of your odyssey.

World cruises tend to depart in early January and last anywhere from 3-6 months, depending on the cruise line and their itinerary. They're often quick to sell out so we recommend keeping an eye out and pre-register for their release so you're guaranteed a cabin on one of these exciting voyages!

If spending up to half the year away from home sounds like a bit too much, but you'd still like to take the leap and explore a bucket list destination for longer than just a week or two, then world cruise sectors (or segments) are a great alternative.

These voyages are part of the full world cruise, but give guests the opportunity to experience the sections of the voyage that they're most interested in. Perhaps 200 days circumnavigating the globe isn't of interest to you, but you'd quite like to experience a month or so in a unique destination you've never explored before, such as the Pacific Islands, Australia and New Zealand, or South America.

Similarly, some cruise lines release 'Grand Voyages', which are sometimes longer world cruise sectors or standalone voyages which again explore fascinating destinations around the world. If you've had your fill of summer Mediterranean cruises and winter breaks in the Caribbean, a grand voyage or world cruise sector could be just the ticket for you.
