Which cruise lines offer world cruises?

World cruises are available with most luxury cruise lines, including Crystal Cruises, Oceania Cruises, Regent Seven Seas Cruises, Seabourn, Silversea and Viking Ocean Cruises.

All-inclusive world cruises

Each cruise line differs slightly in what is included in the price.

Luxury world cruise itineraries

Many world cruises begin in the USA, sailing from either Florida or California, depending on the route the ship will take. On a full world cruise, you will usually visit ports across the USA, Caribbean, Indian Ocean, Far East, Australasia and Pacific Islands. Some itineraries also include the Norwegian Fjords, Mediterranean, Middle East, African Coast and South America. The itinerary is, for most people, the most important factor when booking a world cruise, and no ship will visit every region of the world, so it’s important to choose an itinerary with destinations which excite you.

No-fly world cruises

If you prefer not to fly, it is possible to take a cruise which departs and returns to the UK. Doing this has its advantages, including no restrictions on the amount of luggage you can take (or bring back, packed with souvenirs).

World cruise sectors

If you aren’t ready to commit to a full world cruise, you can opt to sail the particular part of a world cruise which you are most excited about.
