The World: A Year Shaped by Wonder

In 2027, The World will carry its Residents on an unparalleled journey – over 100 destinations across four continents and three extraordinary expeditions – in which every moment is designed for rare access, exceptional comfort, and deep connections to the places it visits.

The year begins with a nine-day Thailand Expedition, followed by a westward passage from Phuket to Sri Lanka and India’s storied coast. The Indian Ocean then carries The World toward the Maldives, the Seychelles, and East Africa, with unhurried days in Zanzibar, Dar es Salaam, Durban, and Cape Town before continuing along Africa’s Atlantic edge. By spring, the Ship enters the Mediterranean where Palermo leads into Greece and Türkiye (Turkey) before arriving in Istanbul.

Next, The World traces the path of Viking explorers, from Iceland’s dramatic lava fields to Greenland’s untouched coast, and then sails onward to Canada’s wild eastern frontier. Towering cliffs, drifting ice, abundant wildlife, and historic settlements evoke the awe of past millennia.

The year draws to a close on the sunlit shores of West Palm Beach, Miami, New Orleans, Galveston, and the Caribbean islands, culminating in a celebration to welcome the New Year in the British Virgin Islands. The 2027 Journey invites you to linger in the rare, seek the extraordinary, and experience life aboard the most exceptional address at sea.
