Leisurely, indulgent, unhurried... on a world cruise you can voyage to exotic destinations, explore new cities and meet new people at your own pace - the way travel used to be! Pass through the Panama and Suez Canals, call in the South Pacific, Australia, the Far East, Asia and the Middle East. Whether you want to see Tahiti, Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, Cartagena, Antigua, New Orleans, Cochin, Singapore, Hong Kong or Sydney, our world cruises visit these cruise ports and many more. Why not join one of our epic journeys lasting up to 108 nights, cruising 'Around The World'. Or if that's too much you can opt for a shorter journey by joining and leaving our world cruise at ports along the way.

• BORA BORA - INFORMATION
• Bora-Bora, French Polynesia, French Polynesia

• Please note that there is only one rather basic road on Bora Bora, and the quality of the vehicles used may not match the standards we have come to expect in Europe. Should we wish to swim during our time in Bora Bora, there is only one public beach – Matira Beach, an approximate 20 minute drive from Vaitape, the main village on the island, where we tender into.

  We call into French Polynesia during the rainy season, so a tropical shower or two can be expected (they finish almost as soon as they start).

  We advise passengers on tour to take insect repellent with them.

  French and Tahitian are the official languages, however, English is widely understood. The preferred currency is the French Pacific Franc, although US Dollars may be accepted (not Sterling).
  

• BRISBANE - INFORMATION
• Brisbane, Australia, Australia

• For reference, the distance from where we shall dock into the city is approximately 10 kilometres (6 miles).

  The official currency of Brisbane is the Australian Dollar.

• CAIRNS - INFORMATION
• Cairns, Australia, Australia

• Cairns is the best known city on the Queensland Coast – a tropical, laid-back, yet modern centre where anything is possible. This region is as diverse in natural treasures as the cosmopolitan mix of cultures and peoples that call it home.

  Listed by the World Heritage Society and acclaimed as amongst the world’s most wonderful assets are the Great Barrier Reef and the Wet Tropics Rainforests. These year-round natural attractions are truly memorable and inspiring. The colourful, sophisticated capital of the tropical north, Cairns City is alive with life and charm. Here, warm northern hospitality and enthusiasm are the order of the day.

  Please note that swimming from coastal beaches will be unsuitable for our call, due to the large number of poisonous jellyfish.

  The official currency of Cairns is the Australian Dollar.
  

• CHAN MAY - INFORMATION
• Chan May, Vietnam, Vietnam

• Whilst the name Vietnam conjures up memories of the war, the reality is a far cry from those dark days. It is a country of natural beauty, peaceful village life and bustling towns and cities. The highlands and rainforests team with exotic wildlife, the beaches are famed for being some of the best in Southeast Asia, and the cuisine is universally acknowledged for its range of tastes and dishes.

  For reference, the official currency for Vietnam is the Vietnamese Dong, however US Dollars are often accepted.

   

As we are visiting so many locations on our World Cruises, it is difficult to detail all the climate and weather information. However, when cruising in Asia, you would expect the weather to be hot and humid, hot and dry around Africa, and also hot around South America. These are general conditions for the continents being visited, but obviously the weather throughout the world can be unpredictable, so it is best to check weather conditions leading up to your 'round the world' cruise.

•     London: 12.7º C
•     Sydney: 17.8º C
•     New York: 21.6º C
