The shared family experiences and parties and celebrations onboard and ashore make for an experience everyone should embark on. Apart from there being plenty to do, they’re also relaxing and often last a long duration of time, which means for a prolonged alleviating escape.

How long does a round the world cruise take?

A round the world cruise is often 90 to 120 days, but the duration of time ranges. With visits to multiple countries, there’s been a trend toward longer sailing times in recent years. The duration of time is definitely something to consider when booking a world cruise.

What should I pack for a world cruise?

As you could be at sea for weeks or months at a time, it is vital to bring variety of clothing options for all types of weather. Weather can be changeable, and it never hurts to prepare for all eventualities, from sun to rain! Of course, cruise ships will do their best to avoid storms and itineraries will be planned accordingly, so no need to worry.

• Sea days – bring a few comfortable outfits, such as shorts and t-shirts or jeans and a jumper
• Dinner and formal nights – dress code may be specific to your cruise line, but bring formal clothing if necessary
• Gym-wear – if you intend to make use of the gym or any hiking excursions, make sure to pack some workout clothes

• Bathing costumes – you’ll need a few sets
• Medication – you may need to speak to your doctor about obtaining an extra prescription to ensure you have plenty to last you throughout the duration of your trip

What is a world cruise?

Cruises around the world offer a vast variety of ideal locations, top-of-the-line itineraries and relaxing experiences.

A world cruise is the ultimate travel experience and itineraries come in a variety of forms. World cruises travel to several countries and continents, so you can expect several sea days, with most itineraries having at least one long stretch of days at sea. World cruises will take you to a number of destinations and cultures to explore.

If you feel daunted by the idea of being away for so long, you don’t have to book an entire world cruise. You can opt for a segment that ranges from two weeks to a month. This is a great sample experience and will help you offset the price of a world cruise, while also committing to a shorter duration of time. You can depart from a nearby homeport, such as Southampton, only embarking on a middle segment and flying home afterwards.

World cruises offer a great range of places to visit from beaches and historic sites to world wonders.
