Our children take a gap year, so why can't we? World cruises and grand voyages have many advantages over more traditional fortnight breaks - advantages that are much more than simply the length of time that you can enjoy on board your favourite ship.

Our Insight
World Cruises & Grand Voyages
Our children or grandchildren take a year out to visit a whole host of countries and visit the world's iconic destinations, so why shouldn't the older generation? The only difference is that overnight bus journeys and sleeping in dormitories are replaced by fine dining and retiring to a well-appointed suite each evening.
A round-the-world cruise can be pure magic. For example, it would not be unusual to see several of the 'Wonders of the World' on the same trip. On what other holiday could you see Machu Picchu, the Sydney Opera House, the Taj Mahal and the Great Pyramids, and only unpack your bags once?
With overnight stays in places of particular interest, you have plenty of time to explore. Shore time is perfectly balanced with relaxing days at sea, and a number of additional benefits and bonuses make a world cruise extra special.
You have the opportunity to get to know your fellow guests even better than you would do on a regular cruise holiday, so expect to forge lasting friendships as you share in the excitement of the journey. Service levels will exceed your expectations, as the staff on board will get to know your tastes and preferences even better than you know them yourself.

The best world cruises from the world's best cruise lines...
Regent Seven Seas Cruises
Regent Seven Seas Cruises gives you a choice of small to medium sized ships, from the 496 guest Seven Seas Navigator to the world's first all-suite all-balcony ships Seven Seas Mariner and Seven Seas Voyager, and the lavish Seven Seas Splendor and Seven Seas Grandeur.
Silversea Cruises
The Silversea fleet began with Silver Cloud - named after the famed Rolls-Royce - designed to the same exacting standards. Silversea now operates 12 ships on a range of worldwide itineraries, from the glamour of the French Riviera to some of the most remote locations on Earth, all whilst retaining their reputation for innovation, shown in an exceptional culinary programme and their adventurous expedition itineraries.
Oceania Cruises
Whether you choose one of the classic smaller R class ships, the purpose built slightly larger O class, or the newer A class ships, you can expect the same levels of Oceania Cruises delivery, with a huge emphasis on excellent food and fascinating worldwide itineraries which can be combined to create lengthy trips. From 2026, Oceania Cruises operates on an adult-only basis for new bookings, and offers a great option for those seeking destination immersion, a calm and relaxed ambience on board, and great amenities.
Seabourn Cruises
The Seabourn fleet comprises Seabourn Quest, carrying just 458 guests, as well as the larger sister ships, 600-guest Seabourn Encore and Seabourn Ovation. Purpose-built luxury expedition ships Seabourn Venture and Seabourn Pursuit complete the line up, and together they offer luxury small ship cruises across all seven continents.
Cunard
Elegance, history and the renowned White Star Service are the key features of a cruise on board what Cunard call the 'Most Famous Ocean Liners in the World'. The brand is widely recognised as the truly 'British' line, and this is something that the now-American owners have been very careful to respect. We think they have done a good job; the Cunard style remains unmistakeable.
