Our World Tour Cruises

Why choose a World Cruise?

Discover multiple destinations

A World Cruise allows you to visit several countries and continents without having to worry about logistical details such as hotel reservations or transportation between destinations. Itineraries are carefully planned to maximize the travel experience.

A unique cultural experience

Each port of call is an opportunity to discover new landscapes, sample varied local cuisine and immerse yourself in different cultures. Cruise lines offer a range of excursions and activities designed to explore the local culture of each destination. Whether through guided tours, cultural shows or workshops, passengers can immerse themselves deeply in local traditions and history.

Comfort and convenience on board

The cruise ships feature comfortable cabins for relaxing after a day of exploring, ranging from interior cabins to spacious ocean-view suites. You travel on a full-board basis, which includes breakfast, lunch and dinner on board, guaranteeing a pleasant and serene experience throughout your voyage. The ships are equipped with a variety of entertainment facilities to keep you busy and entertained during your days at sea, including swimming pools, spas, gyms, cinemas, theaters and more.

The best times to cruise around the world

Climate and seasons: when to go on a World Cruise?

Cruise lines generally offer one World Cruise a year, with departure dates set between December and January to take advantage of the best weather conditions in the various regions visited. On these itineraries, which can last from 3 and a half to 5 months, you can take advantage of the southern summer as you cross the southern hemisphere, then spring-like conditions as you return to the northern hemisphere near the end of your voyage. This avoids extremes of temperature and ensures pleasant conditions for excursions and activities on land.

Duration of World Cruises

Typically, a Round the World cruise lasts between 110 and 150 days, or between three and a half and five months. Some World Cruises offer the possibility of completing only a portion of the itinerary. Travelers embark the ship at a specific port and disembark at another. This approach offers greater flexibility, allowing passengers to choose the segment of the itinerary that interests them, as well as their departure and arrival ports.

Preparing for your World Cruise

Packing advice: what to take with you

Packing for a World Cruise requires special attention. A World Cruise offers a wide variety of climates and natural environments. This variety requires careful planning to ensure that you are adequately equipped for every situation.

The key is to choose versatile, comfortable clothing that can be adapted to different weather conditions. Pants that can be converted into shorts, quick-drying T-shirts and a waterproof jacket are must-haves adapted to changing weather conditions. Don't forget to include a light sweater or hoodie, as evenings on the boat can be chilly. And don't forget to pack a few elegant outfits for special evenings on board.

Protection from the sun is crucial: wide-brimmed hats, sunglasses and high SPF sunscreen will come in very handy. For those relaxing moments by the pool or on the beach, several swimsuits are recommended, so you'll always have one dry one. A waterproof day bag is essential to protect your personal belongings during daily outings.

Shoes should be selected with care: a sturdy pair for hiking, comfortable sandals for more leisurely days, and flip-flops for the pool or beach.

Formalities and travel documents

For a World Cruise, the preparation of formalities and travel documents is an essential step to ensure a smooth journey. Start by checking the validity of your passport. It must be valid for the duration of your trip, ideally with a margin of 6 months after your return. Some countries also require your passport to have at least two blank pages for entry and exit stamps. Remember to make both physical and digital copies. Keep a separate copy of your original passport and store a digital version in a secure area accessible online.

Visas are another crucial aspect not to be overlooked. Depending on your nationality and the destinations you plan to visit on your cruise, you may need to apply for several visas in advance. Find out about the specific requirements of each country by visiting the websites of their embassies or consulates, or ask your cruise.us agent for advice.
