During the first few weeks of January, a wave of ships will soon be departing from a variety of ports to take eager passengers on an adventure of a lifetime around the world. As most people are preparing for the busy holiday season, some of our Cruise Specialists travelers are also busy preparing for their long awaited world cruise.
Circumnavigate the globe on a world cruise
A world cruise. At first, the idea seems viscerally decadent, conjuring images of bejeweled formal nights, exceedingly long sessions of bridge, day following day at sea, one gourmet meal blurring lazily into the other — and not to mention, super expensive for a luxurious journey of up to four months.
But as with so much about cruising, the image of world cruising is far removed from the reality.
Guests who truly want to explore the world in ultimate luxury may want to consider
Cruise to Africa
embarking on the Silversea World cruise 2012 aboard the Silver Whisper themed “Global Treasures, Hidden Jewels”. Pampered with impeccable service, all ocean-view suites, butler service, gourmet menus, sophisticated entertainment and complimentary beverages served thoughout the ship, travelers may not want to leave their new home away from home.
Crystal Serenity
Any traveler who has experienced the luxurious ambiance and energy of a Crystal cruise will sure to be delighted at the exquisite service and pampering they will receive on the Crystal world cruise 2012. For the first time, the Crystal world cruise 2012 on the Crystal Serenity will conveniently sail roundtrip from Los Angeles on their “Epic Islands & Empires” journey at sea.
ms Amsterdam
Each year, avid cruisers from across the country eagerly anticipate the day in January when their Holland America world cruise adventure begins in Ft. Lauderdale. Many of the travelers are experiencing the thrill of spending several months cruising and visiting intriguing destinations for the first time, while others return year after year to the Holland America world cruise to embark on a classic and treasured trip that is part of their annual traditions. While many senior “snowbirds” in the country venture to warmer climates for the winter such as Florida or Arizona, these savvy cruisers opt to spend their 112 day winter break exploring new cities, embracing different cultures and enjoying ship life.
Sailing off into the horizon for two or three months at a time on a world cruise can be your opportunity to explore exotic countries and destinations, peek inside other cultures, enjoy new experiences, and meet other savvy world cruise travelers from around the world. If a cruise around the globe is something you have been contemplating but you don’t know where to start, Cruise Specialists has outlined your 2012 world cruise options.
Cruise Specialists’ Holland America world cruise clients visit and donate supplies to children’s orphanage
Seattle, WA (March 24, 2010) – A group of kindhearted world cruisers recently opted to forgo a more traditional shore tour in Durban, South Africa for the opportunity to visit and donate much needed supplies to a children’s orphanage as part of the Cruise Specialists Cares shore excursion program. The philanthropic travelers hauled 17 boxes of supplies for the orphaned children with them all the way from Ft. Lauderdale on the Holland America ms Amsterdam.
Right now we are at home, packing for our next voyage of the Fall Colors in New England and Canada. We just came back from our Viking Cruise on the Maasdam.
This cruise is always very successful. Lots of beautiful ports to visit. The ports are very versatile. Also lots of different sceneries, with ice-bergs, glaciers, fjords. We also visited lots of European countries. It is always great when you see repeat Cruise Specialists families. A lot of guests have cruised this particular cruise many times over and over again, due to the beautiful scenic cruise days and ports.
We have completed our exclusive Cruise Specialists Shore Excursion programs for these two exciting voyages. The ms Prinsendam 2010 Grand South America Shore Excursion materials were recently mailed and later this week we plan to mail the ms Amsterdam 2010 Grand World Voyage tour materials.
We have some incredible tours planned including a safari to Thornybush Private Luxury Game Reserve, a fabulous trip to Machu Picchu (on the World Cruise) and also a special cruise on Li River with a visit to Terracotta Warriors.
