If you want to combine glamor and luxury on a round the world cruise, then you have the option of paying a little more for a world class cruise. These cruises consist of many ports of call in up to 27 countries on the five continents of the world.
You can choose to cruise the coast of Africa and the Mediterranean, experience the culture of the Far East, and relax in the ambience of Hawaii, Australia, and the Fiji Islands, all while taking in sights few people get to see. The goal of a luxury round-the-world cruise is to make the cruise experience as glamorous and luxurious as possible.
Instead of having an overnight or day stay in a port of call, with a luxury world cruise you could spend several days or even a week in one place to experience all that this destination has to offer. This way, you’ll have plenty of time to explore the sights and attractions, as well as immerse yourself in the culture.
How about a cruise that will take you to both Alaska and Hawaii? This is one of the only around the world cruises you can choose to take. This way you will be able to see two different types of temperatures, so you will need to bring clothes for hot and cold weather. You can choose a cruise departing from Alaska or Hawaii or from an intermediate point in Vancouver, British Columbia in Canada.
Another exclusive world class cruise will take you to Australia and New Zealand so you can experience the culture and attractions of the land. Some of these world cruises also include points in China, Thailand, and other Southeast Asian countries. Begin your cruise vacation in Vancouver, BC and sail to the Caribbean islands and points of Mexico. You will sail through the Panama Canal and stop at popular tourist vacation destinations.
There are also packages for a luxury world cruise that will take you to destinations within Europe. An example of this type of world cruise will depart from the Netherlands, traveling to London, England, Paris, France and destinations in Ireland, Wales and Belgium. The cruise will then continue down the Atlantic coast to destinations in Spain, Portugal and Morocco, giving you the experience of many different cultures in one package.
Some of the luxury world cruises are quite long, lasting for several months. The world’s longest luxury cruise departs from San Francisco and visits the countries of Rarotango, the Cook Mandang Islands, Papua New Guinea, Vietnam, Kuala Lampur and back to Spain.
She then sails across the Atlantic, ending the cruise in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, sailing both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans as well as the South China Seas. She lasts about 115 days and is very popular with those who want to escape the cold winter months by spending them sailing in warmer waters.
Cruise ships used for luxury world cruises are smaller, making vacations more intimate. The amenities on the ships are world class and everything is designed for your maximum comfort. Gourmet meals are prepared by celebrity chefs from around the world, and minute details are considered when planning your accommodations in spacious staterooms. The cruise is very similar to that of a five-star hotel where you have everything you need at your fingertips combined with pampering and individual attention.
