We have booked numerous World Cruises for our customers over the years, on all of the Elite Ocean cruise lines. So we not only know what we are talking about in terms of what you can expect from your cruise, but we also know all the processes and intricacies of extended voyages. There are, however, a number of things to consider, which are worth mentioning in this guide. Not just which itinerary you want to choose but about what kind of on-board experience you require. We are here to help you with all of that. The most exciting aspect of planning a World Cruise is choosing the voyage. We have selected the best World Cruises departing in 2022 and 2023 and we have also provided with some highlights that may help when choosing which cruise line to book.

If you register your interest with us, we can keep in the loop with early releases.

Across your 143 nights on board, you will have the amazing opportunity to visit 48 UNESCO World Heritage sites and enjoy eleven overnight stays in port. You will also have over 350 free shore excursions to choose from in various categories. Traverse oceans, seas, straits, gulfs, bays, and channels over almost forty thousand nautical miles. Visit six continents and 72 ports of call in an incredible 42 countries!

Your journey will include visits to mythical sites, cosmopolitan cities, quaint villages, and incredible structures from the natural wonder of Table Mountain to the man-made carvings on Easter Island. Tropical islands will entrance you, with their paradisical presence barely breaking the surface of the turquoise waters in which they sit.

See a different side to places like these, as Regent guide you away from the tourist resorts and towards the more authentic regions of these beautiful locations. The capital of Mozambique is an overlooked port of call; you will be charmed by the Mediterranean-style architecture, delicious local cuisine, and tranquil harbour.

In addition to the dazzling cities on the itinerary, you will also experience and encounter wildlife you may have only read about, such as tropical parrots, loggerhead turtles, and howler monkeys. Try to spot hummingbirds flitting overhead but avoid the infamous saltwater crocodiles in Australia!

Keep an eye out for leopards in Sri Lanka’s national parks and take home photographs of the African and Asian elephants in rehabilitation sanctuaries. Of course, you can’t go on a wildlife safari in Africa without trying to spot the Big Five!

Lifelong friendships often flourish on board a World Cruise as you share this wonderful experience in the luxuriant splendour of Regent’s ship, with its home comforts, extensive facilities, luxury amenities, and remarkable service.

This is an adventure of epic proportions, as you settle into life on the open ocean, all thanks to the sanguine pace of life at sea.

For the first time ever, the ‘Ventures by Seabourn’ team of experts will be on board during the South Pacific leg of the cruise, offering guests intensive exploration of the incredible islands. Zodiac excursions, kayaking, snorkelling, and trekking await on the remote islands of Vanuatu, Tonga, Easter Island, and more. Pass the Cape of Good Hope at the southernmost point of Africa, unwind on paradise beaches in Rarotonga, be delighted by the vibrant blend of cultures in French Polynesia, and visit the iconic Rick’s Café in Casablanca.

Other highlights of this vast itinerary include the cities of Mexico, aromatic coffee plantations of Central America, tantalising treasures and rituals of western Africa, and the crystal clear waters of the Seychelles. Look out for penguin colonies in Antarctica, in contrast with the abundance of wildlife you may be able to spot in South Africa.

Explore beautiful crumbling temples in Southeast Asia and indulge in delicious Chinese food as you sail around the coast of the third largest country in the world. Briefly touch the far eastern point of Russia before crossing the International Date Line as you head towards the beautiful glaciers and lush forests of Alaska.
