What is a Luxury World Cruise?

Defined Tag: Luxury World Cruise.

Answer: a vacation that spans several continents, and often circumnavigates the globe. A Luxury World Cruise is an expensive and somewhat elitist way to see the world. They offer a taste of the upper-crust culture of the world, without any of the grit or danger of the world itself. These sorts of cruises can last upward of a hundred days, though if you’ve got the money and time, you can find crews willing to let you be a passenger for a full year, though you’ll be foregoing much of the “luxury.”

Expect lots and lots of sea time (a blessing or a curse, depending on your point of view) accompanied by radical (and purposeful) changes of scenery. A luxury world cruise is probably the best sort of vacation for a photophile; when else could you get pictures of an Alaskan glacier, followed immediately by a stretch of oriental shore, complete with Chinese junks?

Crystal World Cruises, Cunard, and Holland America Line all three offer world cruises. Fleets participating in luxury world cruises tend to be smaller, with smaller ships. It follows that, especially on longer cruises, you’ll become better acquainted with the crew of your ship and fellow passengers. Spend one hundred days on a ship—any ship—and you’ll forget what the word stranger means.

Lines offering Luxury World Cruise options allow their guests to book “blocks” of a world cruise, letting them customize their vacation far more than they could with any other sort of cruise. Segments of itinerary tend to be divided by country; but if you decide to get off the ship in Vietnam, make sure you have a way to get back home. Or at least a Vietnamese phrasebook. You don't want to end up lost and without a means to get back to the ship when you're on a time deadline.
