Sample World Cruise Itinerary

Use this sample itinerary as a guide for what a world cruise is like. World cruises are typically 50 to 100+ days at sea, taking you from one incredible port to the next, with plenty of time to settle in, explore, and enjoy life on board.

A world cruise is not about rushing from place to place. It’s about slowing down, traveling in comfort, and experiencing the world in a way that feels effortless and unforgettable. Each day brings a new horizon, a new culture, and a new memory—while your suite, favorite dining venues, and onboard routines travel with you throughout the journey.
