Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could discover the world, from America to Asia, without having to plan it all yourself? If you discovered the most diverse cultures and breathtaking landscapes on seven continents, without even changing the hotel? With a cruise world trip, these fantasies become reality. Cruise the seven seas and discover vibrant metropolises, fascinating landscapes and extraordinary cultures during your world cruise.
Taking a world tour by cruise is a unique experience. Not only do you discover the most diverse landscapes in a relatively short time, but you also travel through different climatic zones and encounter multifaceted cultures. At first glance, world travel may seem expensive, but it has many advantages that you may not have considered.
World cruises lasting a full year are rare. In most cases, your stay on board is 100 to 200 days. Enough time to get to know the most beautiful places on earth!
Real world cruises cost on average about 10,000 EUR. World cruise sectors are cheaper and can be booked for about half the price. In addition, there are costs for tips, trips and services that you use (for example, cleaning).
Cruises are a great way to travel around the world, because on average, with between 100 and 200 days on board, you do not have to worry about travel arrangements such as check-in and check-out, which would be on the agenda for air travel with hotel stays. Other benefits include:
1 - No travel planning
If you organised a world tour on your own, you would have to do a lot of planning and numerous bookings. Where should the journey begin and end? In which order should which places be visited? How do you get from A to B and when do you book the transfers? This is just a small selection of the questions that need to be clarified. On a world cruise you can sit back and relax , because all these questions have already been answered. You just choose the route with the most interesting places for you and organise your journey to the starting harbour.
2 - The hotel goes with you!
Forget constantly packing, with your world cruise you won’t need to waste time changing hotel for each new destination. You can also pack more because you do not have to carry your luggage with you every day.
3 - Numerous Landscapes, Metropolises & Cultures
You will experience much more cruising on a world cruise than on a week's tour of the Mediterranean. Although you invest more time, you have seen the world in one go and know which places are worthwhile for a second visit. So you can quickly find your favourite place in the world to visit time and time again.
4 - No household chores!
What a treat! During the weeks at sea the household activities simply disappear! No cleaning and no cooking - all this is done by the staff on board the ships for you.
5 - Cheaper prices
Although a trip around the world seems expensive at first glance, the daily prices are often below the daily prices of a short cruise. Although you pay a lot of money for your trip around the world, if you were to tour all the places you see on individual tours every year, that would cost you a lot more in the end. So world cruises are not as expensive as you think at first sight.
Now the question arises: What is included in a world tour by ship and what additional costs do I have to expect? Good question! The included services of each trip always depends on the cruise line, but this is always included:
possible (depending on the cruise line)
