When You Live To Travel®

Residents of The World experience a Journey of their own choosing across every ocean and every continent on Earth, with extensive time and an unmatched depth of exploration in over 100 ports each year. Itineraries are crafted to maximize Resident experiences at every landing, often spending three days at a single destination. Polar and tropical expeditions are planned each year to provide exploration and access along the planet’s most untamed shores. On colossal glaciers, in ancient castles, at desert oases, and behind closed doors in landmark museums, wineries, and art galleries – all your experiences are led by knowledgeable insiders and outstanding experts in their fields.

Extraordinary Destinations

The World brings Residents to cultural capitals, cozy villages, and pristine wilds in every corner of the globe each year. With over 100 destinations in each year’s Journey and an average of 3 or more days at each landing, Residents have the opportunity to truly engage and explore. The World Destinations Team knows the passions and favorite pastimes of the Residents as individuals and as a community, and they use this to plan and curate exciting activities and events at every port of call.

2026 Journey

The World’s exceptional 2026 Journey features three extensive expeditions and nearly 90 destinations across six continents. The year begins in Australia and New Zealand, followed by a rare Antarctic semi-circumnavigation. We will then explore South America, the remote Pacific, French Polynesia, Hawaii, and the U.S. West Coast. Summer reveals the wild beauty of British Columbia and Alaska, before an immersive passage through Japan, South Korea, China, and the Philippines. The year concludes amid Southeast Asia’s cultural treasures, culminating in a festive New Year in Singapore.

2027 Journey

The World’s extraordinary 2027 Journey features three immersive expeditions and more than 100 destinations across four continents, each shaped by rare access, exceptional comfort, and a deep connection to place. The year begins in Singapore before sailing through Indonesia’s remote island landscapes, from the Anambas Islands Regency to the volcanic spectacle of Krakatoa. Next, the Ship calls at India’s Tamil Nadu, followed by an expansive exploration of the far north as The World traces Viking routes through Iceland, Greenland, and Canada’s wild eastern frontier. As the year concludes, the Ship turns toward the Americas, calling at West Palm Beach, Miami, New Orleans, Galveston, and the Caribbean islands for a radiant finale that welcomes the New Year in the British Virgin Islands.

We’ve become familiar with so many places around the globe, and the Journey still manages to take our breath away.
