World cruises often take at least 100 days to encompass the entire globe. More often than not, a world cruise can take between 120 to 140 days depending on the itinerary and to also allow guests plenty of time to truly experience each destination in its fullest). There is nothing worse than hopping off your ship during your world cruise and being told you only have 3 hours to explore the entire city!

Being able to unpack once and embark on a holiday to destinations all across the globe is only possible with a world cruise.
