Our guests’ penchant for travel is absolutely unfettered, and thus our collection of itineraries must include this true journey of a lifetime, a fantasy voyage designed to sail around the world.

But we believe that if you’re going to sail around the world, do it like a true navigator, a true explorer. It’s not a race; it’s a journey!

Departing Miami on 10th January 2015, the unprecedented Around the World in 180 Days cruise literally circumnavigates the globe, calling on South America, Africa, Asia, Australia
