Destinations

World & Special Cruises

Go Further with a Truly Unique Voyage

Circle the globe, follow a once-in-a-lifetime route or join a themed sailing. World and special-interest cruises turn the voyage itself into the destination, with extended itineraries that connect continents, cultures and celebrations.

Discover World & Special Cruises

World cruises sail for three months or more, linking dozens of ports across several continents, and many lines also sell shorter segments if you’d like a taste of the experience. Special-interest voyages focus on a theme, from music and food to holiday celebrations and expedition-style adventures. Because these sailings follow their own schedules, popular cabins often sell out early, and an experienced advisor can help you choose the right route, segment and stateroom.
