2023 Journey

2023 JOURNEY

A Year Of Adventure, A Life Of Exploration

Navigating six continents and sailing every ocean – the 2023 Journey will be an exceptional voyage, even by The World’s unparalleled standards. Begin New Year’s Day in the shining city of Dubai before setting sail eastward into the vibrant colors and cultures of India and Sri Lanka. Savor two weeks on the beaches and reefs of the Maldives and Seychelles, and then embark on a sojourn through the ancient lands of the Middle East with landings in Oman, Saudi Arabia, Israel, and Egypt.

In March, an odyssey in the eastern Mediterranean awaits with stops in Cyprus, Turkey, Greece, and Albania. Continue west into the Adriatic where storybook beauty abounds in Montenegro and Croatia. Further west, the islands of Sardinia and Corsica beckon with rugged landscapes and incomparable flavors. Then trace the Iberian coastline to explore the cities of Spain and Portugal before ending May's adventure in Bordeaux, the heart of French wine country.

Spend June enjoying the port towns of England and Wales before sailing to Baltic landings in Belgium, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, and Poland. Forge northward to Norway, the Faroe Islands, and Iceland before embarking on an expedition including the Arctic Circle, venturing through Greenland and Canada's Ellesmere Island and rugged Baffin Coast. Then sail southward, making landings at iconic cultural and historical destinations on the eastern coasts of Canada and North America.

Entering the Caribbean, savor the shimmering turquoise waters of Bermuda, the Bahamas, and the Cayman Islands before continuing further south to Panama and Ecuador. In South America, explore the villages of Peru, and the Patagonian paradise of Chile and Argentina. Conclude the year with two unforgettable back-to-back Antarctic expeditions, delving deep into the region’s natural beauty and encountering rare wildlife before raising a glass aboard The World to ring in the new year.
