Your Year for Incomparable Adventure
Embark on a Journey like no other, as your home aboard The World traverses five continents on a voyage of beauty, culture, and excitement. Residents & Guests begin New Year’s Day in sunny San Diego and spend January and February cruising the majestic Pacific – savoring the dreamlike beauty of the Hawaiian and Polynesian Islands. There will also be a rare opportunity for the truly adventurous with back-to-back Expeditions: the first in the Tuamotu Archipelago and the Marquesas of French Polynesia, followed by a second among the fascinating people and natural beauty of the Austral Islands. Then sail eastward for two-and-a-half weeks of immersion in rich South American history, culture, and wildlife at landings in Ecuador, Panama, and Colombia and a leisurely sojourn through the southern Caribbean before crossing the Atlantic to disembark in Cadiz, Spain.
In late May, set sail once more for 16 spectacular weeks encompassing all that Northern Europe and the North Atlantic have to offer. Experience beloved cultural capitals like Amsterdam and Stockholm, delve into less-visited destinations such as the Faroe Islands and Bantry, Ireland, and make a once-in-a-lifetime Expedition across the rugged volcanic majesty of Iceland. Expand your understanding and explore every corner of the Mediterranean throughout two months of curated, exclusive experiences in Tunisia, Sicily, Cyprus, Montenegro, Israel, and Egypt. Pass through the Suez Canal into the final magnificent weeks of the year’s Journey, and step into the ancient sites and cosmopolitan luxury of Oman and Qatar, before ringing in 2023 on New Year’s Eve in the sparkling gem of Dubai.
