Around-the-World Cruises: Everything Travelers Need to Know About These Epic Voyages

A n around-the-world cruise is often thought of as the pinnacle of a  sailing vacation . Some cruisers treat these multi-month journeys as once-in-a-lifetime trips; others are frequent guests, a world cruise but one piece of their annual travel plans. There are also the enduring tales of older travelers who elect for extended world voyages as an unconventional retirement plan . (Though as onboard WiFi becomes more reliable, it's now possible to work remote from many cruise ships, as well.)

Whatever the reason, the allure of this mode of travel is strong. Why not unpack once, enjoying fairy godmother-like service, exemplary amenities, and always-changing views for months on end? Plenty of cruisers with time and money on their hands do exactly that, choosing an extended at-sea lifestyle for at least a portion of the year. Around-the-world cruises often run from early January through March or April, although new off-season itineraries are being introduced.

If an epic voyage across multiple oceans and continents fits into your future, be prepared to plan the trip far in advance. World cruises have a strong following among cruisers—many of the sailings can sell out up to a year before departure. Travelers can also book shorter “segments” joining the ship for only a portion of the journey, but cruise lines often add significant value-adds to those booking the entire voyage—everything from free business class airfare to other exclusives like special parties and invite-only shore excursions.

Here's everything travelers need to know about taking an around-the-world cruise, including tricks from veteran world cruisers, booking tips, and some of the best itineraries in 2025 and beyond.

This article has been updated with new information since its original publish date.

Booking tips for around-the-world cruises

How much is a cruise to go around the world.

World cruises, which may not actually circumnavigate the globe entirely, but are generally in a category that covers at least three continents and lasts from 90 to 150 days, generally start around $140 per passenger per night based on double occupancy. All in all, the cost of 100-plus day world cruise can range from $16,000 to over $800,000 per person, depending on the line and cabin type.

Is an around the world cruise worth it?

That’s certainly subjective, but travelers already accustomed to cruising—who appreciate the amenities of a ship and the lifestyle of a new port to view through the window every few days—will likely consider world cruises good value.

How much does a 180-day cruise around the world cost?

The longest world voyages we found generally lasted up to 140 to 150 days at their upper limits, although Oceania Cruises world cruises can be 180 days or more, starting at $48,799 per passenger.

Advice from frequent world cruisers

Roger Foenander and his partner David Mutton—loyalists to Viking Cruises —note the lack of pressure to see and do things within a tight timeframe on longer journeys, which provides plenty of freedom to relax. That might mean attending onboard enrichment lectures, spending the afternoon playing cards with fellow passengers, or dipping into the onboard spa and sauna before cocktail hour.

Linda Wiseman, who has traveled with Cunard , suggests new faces can help get ahead of any monotony: “In the dining room, we tell the maître d’ not to seat us with another couple who is sailing the whole thing—that way, our seat mates switch every few weeks, and we can meet different people.”

New Orleans-based philanthropist and veteran world cruiser Phyllis Taylor observes that these sailings are a class set apart, without the frenzied pace of shorter itineraries: “The difference between a short cruise and a  world cruise  is night and day, storm and calm, fleeting thought and thoughtfulness. I enter the bar in the evening, in no time my favorite song is being played, my favorite drinks sit before me. I go to dinner and my favorite table is waiting for me, and my waiter has already served the iced water with lemon just as I like it."

But the real value of a world cruise, Taylor says, is the chance to fully immerse in and savor the experience: “With an extended cruise you absorb the lifestyle of life at sea; with the great advantage of having a crew and staff that treats you like royalty.”

The best around-the-world cruise itineraries

Silversea’s 136-day sailing onboard their newest ship, Silver Dawn , will embark in Tokyo in January 2025. Called Controtempo , the cruise will sail in the opposite direction and season of many world cruises, taking in Japan and China in January before heading to Southeast Asia, Sri Lanka, the Maldives , and Seychelles in February. The ship will spend the spring making its way up Africa’s Atlantic Coast—arriving in the Baltic Sea before cruising to Iceland and Greenland (an uncommon call for World Cruises), then tracing Newfoundland and New England to New York.

Fares start at $77,560 “Port-to-Port” or $79,060 “Door-to-Door,” which includes business class airfare and transfers—including pickups and drop-offs in the traveler’s home city.

Princess Cruises

Most world cruises departing from North America head to sea in January, but in 2026 Princess Cruises will be offering 114-day World Cruises during the northern summer. Departing in early May from Auckland, New Zealand; or Sydney or Brisbane, Australia (mid-autumn in the Southern Hemisphere), the sailings are timed to arrive in Western and Northern Europe during the peak of summer, promising endless sunny days.

The sailing also has a number of long stretches of sea days for cruisers who like time to unwind and enjoy the amenities of the ship, Crown Princess . Some of the longer ocean crossings, like Brisbane to Bali and Colombo, Sri Lanka to Aqaba, Jordan will take a week or longer, while three other ocean crossings are at least four days.

Inside cabins start at $15,588 per passenger or from $22,248 for Princess Plus fares, which includes beverages, WiFi, and onboard gratuities.

Book With Princess Cruises

Crystal’s land partnerships with parent company Abercrombie & Kent are front and center during their 2025 World Cruise , a 123-night sailing departing from Fort Lauderdale on January 7 onboard the Crystal Serenity —fresh off a complete refurbishment that reduced the total number of cabins, which now all offer butler service in every room or suite category.

With port calls in South America, Africa, India, the Middle East, and Europe, Crystal will offer guests a number of overland packages in partnership with Abercrombie & Kent—think multi-night side trips to the Galápagos Islands , Machu Picchu, the Serengeti, Taj Mahal, or Karnak Temple.

Guests booking Crystal's full World Cruise will have included Business Class airfare, $1,500 shipboard credit, luggage valet, and airport transfers. Fares start at $66,500 per passenger based on double occupancy in an Ocean View Deluxe stateroom.

Book With Crystal

Regent Seven Seas

Regent Seven Seas Cruises has already opened their 2027 world cruise for booking—and they have a tendency to sell out quickly. It will be the first year a larger Explorer Class ship, the Seven Seas Splendor , will undertake the world voyage, calling at 71 ports en route from Miami to New York in January 2027.

The routing will take the ship from the Caribbean to the Pacific coast of Mexico via the Panama Canal, Hawaii, several ports in French Polynesia (calling twice at both Moorea and Bora Bora), Australia, Southeast Asia, India, the Persian Gulf, the Eastern and Western Mediterranean, and Bermuda before arriving in New York.

Early bookers will get a long list of added amenities, including first class airfare, a pre-cruise gala in Miami, exclusive shoreside experiences in Panama City, Colombo, and Málaga , unlimited shore excursions, unlimited beverages, gratuities, transfers, door-to-door luggage service, and unlimited laundry, dry cleaning, and pressing. Fares start at $91,449 per passenger and go up to $839,999 per passenger for the ship’s most luxurious suite.

Book With Regent Seven Seas

Oceania Cruises

Many world cruises depart in January and sail in the 100- to 140-day range, mostly wrapping up by April or May. Oceania’s 180-day world cruises last until midsummer, and are often “true” around-the-world sailings, ending in the same port they first embarked from.

Oceania’s 2025 Global Horizons sailing lasts a whopping 196 days onboard Insignia , roundtrip from Miami. The sailing includes several destinations in the Eastern Caribbean, and—extraordinary for a world voyage—a week of scenic cruising along the Amazon River . The voyage continues in South America before crossing the Atlantic to the remote islands of Tristan de Cunha, a British Overseas Territory, before making landfall again in Namibia , tracing the African coast through South Africa, Mozambique, and the French department of Mayotte (another rare stop for a cruise), island-hopping in the Indian Ocean before calling in India.

The sailing covers a lot of ground in Asia—Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Singapore, China, Japan, the Philippines, Brunei, and Indonesia—before cruising the west and south coasts of Australia, New Zealand, New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Fiji, French Polynesia, and Hawaii. Crossing the Pacific to San Diego the ship then hops down the coasts of Mexico and Central America through the Panama Canal before returning to Miami in mid-July.

Oceania’s 2026 Around the World in 180 Days sailing is also roundtrip from Miami. Sailing westbound, the itinerary covers the east and west coasts of South America, the South Pacific, Australia, Southeast Asia, and much of the Middle East before transiting the Mediterranean to spend significant time in northwestern Europe and the Baltic Sea before crossing the far north Atlantic via Iceland and Canada before returning to Miami.

Starting fares for each of the world voyages currently range from $48,799 to to $57,999, including a number of value-adds like roundtrip airfare and airport transfers, plus a number of added onboard amenities.

Balinese cuisine is defined by fresh ingredients, vibrantly diverse spices, tropical fruits, and traditional variations of rice as a staple with each meal. Take a cooking class to learn how the Balinese cook with flavor and health in mind, utilizing techniques that have existed for millennia. There are many popular vegetarian dishes in Bali, as well as fantastic pork, duck, and seafood dishes that are native to the island and its culture.

Go on a Glass-Bottomed Boat Ride

The biodiverse waters off the shores of Bali are full of incredible species of sea creatures and a glass-bottomed boat ride is one of the best ways to see them. Look out for protected and endangered sea turtles, reef life, and a variety of colorful butterfly fish, clownfish, and angelfish from the clear bottom of a boat as you travel with a guided tour. You could also see a number of other local species. Keep a lookout for sea eagles, and try to spot the brightly-colored beaks of Balinese hornbills as you sail along the shore.

What should I eat in Bali?

Food in Bali is diverse, plentiful, whether you opt for one of the island’s high-class restaurants or fresh street food. Try the many variations of rice and meat wrapped in palm leaves, and a traditional babi guling (suckling pig) before heading back to your ship. Vegetarians will love the fresh Indonesian salad known as gado gado, made with tempeh, bean sprouts, and a peanut sauce.

What's the culture and history of Bali?

As part of a larger Indonesian cultural tradition, the people of Bali share many customs with other islands in the region. They also pride themselves on their own cultural niche; unlike the rest of Indonesia, Bali is a Hindu island, practicing Agama Hindu Dharma. The Balinese have a close relationship with nature and believe that all-natural elements have a symbiotic spiritual and human connection. 

Bali has a deep history of imperial, colonial, and independent rule that spans back to prehistoric populations on the island. Bali was ruled for many years by the Javanese Majapahit Empire, and in more recent times, colonized by the Dutch. Indonesia became independent in the middle of the 20th century and Bali is now one of its most famous vacation spots.

Where can I go shopping in Bali?

As an island that’s lured artistic and creative types for decades, Bali offers plenty of shopping opportunities. Shop at the Mertha Segara Samuh Art Market for hand-made souvenirs with bright colored tapestries and Hindu-inspired iconography available at practically any of the market’s stalls. Visit the Bali Collection complex for a more upscale experience, complete with dining and entertainment options to accompany you as you shop. Handmade jewelry, leather purses, natural products, beachwear, sarongs, batiks, and paintings are all great souvenirs of the island.

How can I get around Bali?

The easiest and most convenient way to get around the island on your Bali cruise is by private car or a metered taxi known as a “Bluebird”. Central tourist areas of Benoa such as Nusa Dua are walkable, but in the humidity of the tropics, you may find car transport more comfortable and convenient. If you’re in a group, you can ride with a private minivan (known as Bemo) service, or book larger shuttles and buses to accommodate more people.

What are the local currency and tipping customs?

The local currency in Bali is the Indonesian rupiah, and ATMs are abundant around both the main city center and surrounding beaches. Try to pay with cash when you can, and be careful when using a credit card at smaller stores, as they may not accept them. Tipping is not customary in Benoa, however, tour guides and restaurant workers are always grateful for a polite gratuity.

‘Hard to survive’: Sad reason Australia is seeing an influx of New Zealanders

Kiwis are relocating to Australia in droves, with young people the driving force behind the mass exodus – and experts predict it will only continue to ramp up.

Australia is set to see an influx of New Zealanders relocating Down Under, as brutal job cuts and low wages continue to force them out of their home country.

The neighbouring nation saw a record net migration loss of 52,000 citizens in the 12 months to March 2024, according to data released by Stats NZ.

“This is the first time the annual net migration loss of New Zealand citizens has exceeded 50,000,” population indicators manager Tehseen Islam said.

“That equates to 1000 more New Zealand citizens departing long-term than arriving long-term each week.”

Before the current high, the record annual net migration loss was 44,000 in February 2022.

Before the current high levels, the record annual net migration loss of New Zealand citizens was 44,400 in the February 2012 year.

The nation’s official data agency also revealed unemployment rose to 4.3 per cent in the March 2024 quarter, up from 4 per cent in the December 2023 quarter.

Young people are the driving force behind the increasing number of people leaving New Zealand, with those aged 18 to 30 accounting for 39 per cent of the 78,200 migrant departures of New Zealand citizens in the March 2024 year.

And it appears that many of them are choosing to try their luck in Australia instead.

Over the past few months, there has been a noticeable increase in young Kiwis posting about moving to Australia online and sharing their reasons for doing so.

One such Kiwi, who goes by Kiyah Ariana online, revealed that deciding to move her young family to Melbourne was the “hardest” decision of her life because all her family is in New Zealand.

However, she revealed that it has been “worth it” as her family has been able to experience the exact thing they moved for, which was better financial opportunities.

“I have been able to be a stay-at-home mum to both of our kids because my partner makes good money and enough for us to live off one income, which is something that we would not have been able to do back home,” she said in a TikTok video.

Another New Zealander who decided to move claimed the quality of life in Australia was “10 times better”.

Earlier this year, 26-year-old Jesse Campbell posted a TikTok video encouraging fellow Kiwi’s to make the move.

“The quality of life there is 10 times better than it will ever be in New Zealand. Now, that is not a knock on New Zealand, that is just the facts,” he said.

He revealed he had lived in Australia for three years and, while he had been back home for only a few months, he was already itching to go back.

“The cost of living is cheaper, you get paid more, the weather is better, there’s more going on over there, the beaches are better, there’s more opportunities,” he said.

“Honestly, I just reckon the quality of life it produces over there is just so much better than New Zealand at the moment, and that’s why we are losing so many people moving over there.

“Especially when things are so tough here for people in New Zealand, you know? The wages and the crazy cost of living and that. It is just so hard for people to survive and have a good life here.”

Another creator, Paige Ratcliffee , shared her excitement at being able to afford to buy fresh produce since moving to the Gold Coast.

“POV: You move to Australia and can now afford fresh produce every day,” she wrote on a recent video.

Job cuts, low wages behind the trend

The influx of Kiwis moving to Australia comes amid increasingly difficult living conditions for New Zealanders, including difficulties with the job market and lower wages compared to Australia.

In March, Stats NZ revealed the economy was in recession over the second half of last year, with the GDP falling by 0.3 per cent in the September 2023 quarter and 0.1 per cent in the December quarter.

New Zealand has returned negative GDP figures in four of the last five quarters.

“Wholesale trade was the largest downwards driver this quarter, led by falls in grocery and liquor wholesaling; and machinery and equipment wholesaling,” Stats NZ’s Ruvani Ratnayake said.

“Retail trade activity also fell, driven by furniture, electrical, and hardware retailing; and food and beverage services.”

The country’s new National Party-led government – which formed a coalition with the right-wing minorities New Zealand First and ACT Party – recently sparked backlash with a plan for large-scale cuts across the public sector.

Finance Minister Nicola Willis directed ministries and agencies to slash expenditure by either 6.5 per cent or 7.5 per cent to help reduce annual public service spending by $1.5 billion.

The number of public sector cuts to date is currently sitting just above 4500, according to independent public service media organisation, RNZ.

However, experts have warned this number will continue to rise, with ACT leader and newly named Minister for Regulation, David Seymour, predicting the figure will rise to over 7000.

“I’d start with a reduction to 2017 levels, that’s the baseline in the ACT-National coalition agreement, then I would allow for the increases in population and so on that genuinely have made the job bigger over the past six years,” he told RNZ .

“And then no doubt, there will be some activities that people see as additional and vertical and want to retain. That’s how you start off with 15,000 and perhaps end up with a figure somewhere around half that … half of 15,000 is 7500.”

Last month, New Zealand Herald’s business editor-at-large, Liam Dann, warned that up to 30,000 jobs could be on the line.

Speaking to the Saturday Morning program in April, he claimed that economists have been forecasting that unemployment could rise up to 5.5 per cent.

“And unfortunately it means that tens of thousands – maybe 30,000 – more jobs are going to go in the next year. So it’s kind of a case of brace yourself for a bit,” Dann said.

At the start of this year, New Zealand broadcaster and journalist Duncan Garner, said that Australia’s job market and pay rates were “leaving New Zealand for dead”.

“The gap in wages between the two countries has opened up to be a gulf,” he told his podcast listeners.

“No wonder our police officers, teachers, nurses have departed in their numbers. and there are huge relocation allowances on offer.”
