Cruises are a wonderful and enriching experience. There is something so timeless and thrilling about hopping on board for an adventure.

You can explore a new part of the country or sail across the sea to a new part of the world. But what if you want to see the whole world in one cruise? It’s possible.

World cruises offer the best of the best when it comes to the cruise experience. Check out our list of the best world cruises available in 2020.

What Is a “World” Cruise?

World cruises take the traditional idea of a cruise vacation and turn it up a few notches. They take you to multiple countries and/or continents. Cruise lengths vary.

While some only last three weeks and take you to a handful of island nations, others last up to 245 days. You read that right – that’s close to nine months at sea, sailing through every ocean and visiting four (or more) continents.

Spending so many days onboard certainly increases the price of the trip. That said, when you hop on board, you’ll know where your money went.

World cruises aren’t filled with gimmicks. They focus more on the experience of traveling the world in luxury. The ships are usually smaller than traditional cruise ships and fit fewer passengers.

With fewer passengers and a longer time onboard, expect to make deeper connections and even find some lifelong friends.
