The World: Where Wonders Never Cease

Set your sights on 2026, when The World embarks on its most ambitious journey yet: 90 destinations across 20 countries on six continents.

It’s only fitting that this adventure of a lifetime begins in Tasmania, a secluded island nation steeped in 40,000 years of history. Sail on to Australia’s most dynamic cities before crossing the Tasman Sea to the wild and wonderful landscapes of New Zealand. Port Chalmers is your last stop before it’s time for the next chapter – a semi-circumnavigation expedition of Antarctica, revealing the rarely seen wonders of this frozen tundra. The thrills continue in the Southern Hemisphere, sailing to Ushuaia and on to the marvelous Chilean fjords. The deeper you journey into the South Pacific, the more intriguing your excursions become – landing on mysterious Easter Island and the legendary Pitcairn and Pacific islands.

April is a time to immerse yourself in the brilliant blue waters of French Polynesia, greeted by stunning white sands on Papeete, Moorea, Bora Bora, and beyond. Cross the Pacific Ocean to reach the islands of Hawaii – spending time in pure paradise before you touch upon the sunlit coast of California. Soon, you’ll uncover the magical and misty Pacific Northwest. Witness the grandeur of Canada’s fjords, venture into Seattle and Vancouver, and spend scenic days witnessing Alaska’s majestic tidewater glaciers. Explore less-visited areas such as Valdez, Kodiak, and the Aleutian Islands.

As the year wanes, your adventures grow even grander. Spend September in Asia, marveling over Tokyo’s dazzling skyline, historical Busan and Hiroshima, South Korea. China’s traditions come to life in Beijing and Shanghai, with a foray into the dazzling streets of Hong Kong. As you arrive in the jewels of Southeast Asia, compare and contrast the rich cultures and natural wonders of Vietnam, Malaysia, and Brunei. Your year of discovery concludes in Singapore for the most epic celebration that rings in the New Year – surrounded by your loved ones and your close-knit community of world explorers.
