See The World Without A Single International Flight

Imagine, for a moment, instead of passing over countries from high above, seeing it through a very personal lens.

In a matter of days, a modern-day adventurer could go from the crown jewels of the Pacific in French Polynesia, to the cultural center of the south in Sydney, and then wake up surrounded by the opulence of Dubai.

Now you’re beginning to understand the mind of a world cruiser.

The possibility of having a truly intimate travel experience exists today, without ever having to leave the face of the earth for a super long flight.

3 Reasons to do a World Cruise

For those who have never considered booking a cruise itinerary to circumvent the globe, here are three good reasons to start planning your getaway today.

 

Seeing the world in romantic fashion

There’s a romance that adventurers have long held with the ocean.

From the first men to sail towards what lies beyond, to classic authors like Hemingway, adventure was born on the tides of change. Those who experience an around the world cruise answer the call that drove the first travelers – the ones who dared to find what else is out in the world.

In one vacation, around the world cruisers can navigate through the Panama Canal, arrive at ports of call throughout Southeast Asia, and visit the classic ports of Greece and Rome.

In addition, travelers visit these places in complete comfort: cruisers only pack and unpack once during their trip, and are rocked to sleep every night in a full-size bed as they gently move forward to their next destination.

One around the world booking to manage

When travelers book global travel by other means, there are always multiple bookings to manage every step of the way. Even under the best circumstances, plans can still end up fractured: flights, hotels, and tours usually get booked on separate itineraries and reservation numbers, which can be confusing when traversing different parts of the world.

When booking an around the world cruise, one booking controls a traveler’s itinerary, destinations, and activities. There’s no need to carry a folder full of paperwork, or try and remember multiple booking numbers.

Instead, travelers can enjoy the relaxing luxury of their cruise ship, while the helpful staff works to make sure everything is taken care of along the way.

Friendly support every step of the way

When traveling around the world, even the most seasoned adventurer can run into setbacks. Whether it’s a miscalculation in local currency, a lost reservation number, or a language barrier, many travelers do not anticipate the downsides of booking international travel on their own.

When a traveler books an around the world cruise through Cruise Specialists, they never travel alone. Instead, they are always backed by a full service staff that will help them navigate new cultures around the world.

Beyond many of the special amenities we provide our cruisers (read about them), our team ensures you have all the facts! We assist you in navigating country entry requirements, currency issues, and even offer concierge services for the many ports of call.

Why try to navigate the world alone when a friendly and knowledgeable cruise staff is ready to help?

While there are many ways to see the world, traveling by cruise ship may be the most rewarding of them all. When a traveler books their around the world cruise, they can prepare to not only travel in the all-inclusive lap of luxury, but also have a customized and personal experience with all the places they arrive at.

If we sound biased, it’s because we are! With thousands of trips among our team, we know the benefits of cruising are vast and the comfort unparalleled.
