world cruise

Circumnavigating by ship

A world cruise is an extended voyage by ship that circumnavigates the globe or visits ports across multiple continents, typically lasting several months.

These are luxury travel experiences offered by cruise lines, often departing in January to escape winter: They sold their house and booked a world cruise.

The itinerary usually includes dozens of ports across the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans.
