A world cruise is the ultimate cruise experience. They can either be the crowning achievement of most guests’ cruising careers or an annual lifestyle for some. After two years of interruptions, they are back. We are taking this perfect opportunity to remind you of the joys that can be yours on a world cruise.
Everything you love about cruising, just more
The obvious benefit is that if you love cruising, a six-month-long itinerary gives you all of the cruising you could want and more. More time to enjoy world-class dining, exemplary service, exotic destinations, foreign culture, world history, and relaxing spa services. By the end of your voyage, you will feel like the ship is your home. It’s no wonder there is a group of cruisers who cruise the world every year.
Hate Airlines? Fly domestically
If you love cruising but hate long flights, a World Cruise gives you the rare opportunity to fly domestically but travel globally. With departures from Los Angeles, Miami, and New York, you may not even need a flight. If you do, you can rest easy knowing that you are only a couple of hours away from the cruise of a lifetime.
Safe Travel
As we continue making sense of the world (post-COVID-19 lockdowns). It is clear that the cruise lines’ health and safety protocols are working. In fact, the cruise industry is currently the safest form of travel. If you are at high risk of COVID-19 the bubble that a cruise ship provides with its extensive cleaning and disinfecting protocols, custom-designed shore excursions, vetted crew and guides, a doctor, and an onboard clinic you can be assured that you are in safe hands while you tour the world.
Treat Yourself
You may also want to consider an experience such as a world cruise as a reward. Maybe you just sold your house, retired, or achieved some other milestone. Maybe you spent your lockdown staring at places you would rather be on social media? There is no greater treat than a long enriching vacation. This is the longest most rewarding one they make and you deserve it.
Excellent Value
This may be hard to believe because the price of a World Cruise will cause a little sticker shock, but if you look at the per-day costs, the additional amenities you receive, the time you will be away, and the places you will be you will find that there is excellent value in these long voyages. In fact, many world cruisers have figured out that the cost of living in retirement communities or paying a mortgage on a house that their kids moved out of a long time ago is WAY higher and comes with far fewer luxuries than a world cruise so they opt for the ladder.
Ultimate Experience
No matter which of the many brands or itineraries you choose, a world cruise is the ultimate experience. It is not just one itinerary it is several stitched together. With a changing cast of guests weekly you will most definitely forge lasting friendships with interesting guests and crew members.
As you are the one picking the itinerary you already know the ports that you are looking forward to the most, but the others are likely to surprise and delight you the most. These are the ports you may know little about or maybe they weren’t high on your list of priorities, but now you get them anyway without any trade-offs.
Whatever it is that makes you travel, a world cruise is sure to have that in spades. There are no shortage of brands offering world cruises. However, space in the popular accommodations and on the more luxurious ships is very scarce. If you are considering a world cruise you should lean heavily on the experience of a good travel agent. Luxury Cruise Connections’ team of excellent travel advisors are skilled in finding and planning the perfect extended voyage for you. Who knows? You might just be a short phone call away from the experience of a lifetime.
