World Cruise7 GREAT REASONS TO TAKE A

1. Visit multiple destinations and scores of countries on one well-orchestrated vacation.

2. Experience a vast number of intriguing cultures.

3. Go around the world, often without a single international flight.

4. Guests unpack just once – and enjoy the same (or better) home away from home accommodations, creature comforts and incredible service.

5. Travel in the company of interesting people and forge lifelong friendships.

6. Escape the winter weather. Most World Cruises depart in January and return in the spring.

7. It’s the ultimate learning experience. Think of a World Cruise as a very sophisticated “semester at sea.”

WHY WORLD CRUISERSKEEP RETURNING

DESIRE TO SEE THE WORLD

Each year there is a new

itinerary, providing ample

things to see and do for

new and returning guests.

THEY’VE BUILT STRONG FRIENDSHIPS

These friends may be

fellow passengers or

people they’ve met in ports

around the globe. It's a

great way to reunite.

IT’S A SEASONAL TRADITION

It’s an alternative to

having a winter home,

or simply has become

a welcome change from

the routine.

All-Inclusive Fares May Include:

» FREE roundtrip air (sometimes first class)

» FREE pre-cruise luxury hotel

» FREE shore excursions

» FREE specialty restaurants

» FREE unlimited beverages, including fine wines and premium spirits

» FREE pre-paid gratuities

» FREE transfers between airport and ship

Traditional Fares:

» A more affordable base entry onto the World Cruise.

» Guests decide as they go what they feel is important, such as shore excursions, specialty restaurants or spa services.

» Gratuities are customary at the end of the cruise; a World Cruise consultant can provide guidelines to guests.

World Cruise fares range from completely all-inclusive to a more traditional fare, with some cruise lines ranging in between. This can lead to a difference of thousands of dollars in what your reservation costs but also lead to a vastly different onboard experience, in terms of what you pay for once on board. Your World Cruise consultant can help you analyze the differences.

Types of FaresCONSIDER

A World Cruise is a commitment of time and money. That’s why you want to make sure you have the proper documents needed to travel and take precautions to ensure your trip goes off without a hitch.

Visas

» Visa requirements for a World Cruise will vary depending on the guest’s nationality and the destinations on the itinerary.

» Each visa may take several weeks to acquire. There may also be a fee associated with the process.

Inoculations

» A travel clinic can recommend precautions and immunizations to help you stay healthy and avoid illnesses specific to regions you may be visiting.

» It’s also important to plan ahead for any current medications you are on, to ensure you have the proper amount for your trip.

Insurance

Travel insurance is the number one way to protect your travel investment. There are a variety of types, and you will want to select the one that best fits with any risk factors as well as your general desire to have all of your bases covered while traveling.

SHORE TOUR

PROGR AMSShore tours allow you to visit a destination

more in depth. It may be a relaxing trip to

the beach, a wine tasting with sweeping

views of the vineyard, a guided tour of a

medieval castle, or any number of other

options that bring the destination to life.

When you select a shore tour (also known

as a shore excursion), aside from having

a great experience, you want the peace

of mind knowing you are working with a

reliable tour operator and that you will

return to the ship on time. For that reason, it

is very important to select shore excursions

that are recommended and booked by a

knowledgeable cruise consultant.

To experience a destination more fully, you may wish to book an overland tour. These overnight trips enable you to more fully experience local sights, culture and cuisine. Examples of overland tours (vary by cruise):

Angkor Wat

The Amazon

African Safari

This is a comprehensive, optional tour of some of Southern Africa’s most treasured destinations, arranged by Cruise Specialists’ Shore Excursion Manager.

Cruise Specialists guests leave the ship for 5 days and embark on this exclusive, fully-guided tour, which includes flights, deluxe hotel, most meals, and countless memorable experiences. A Cruise Specialists Voyage Host accompanies the guests the entire 5 days.

After departing the ship in Durban with their host, guests are introduced to their English-speaking guide and board a flight to Johannesburg. The first day includes a tour of the former home of Nelson Mandela, lunch at a local restaurant and accommodations at a sophisticated boutique hotel.

On day two, guests fly to Livingstone, Zambia, then on to a luxurious 5-star hotel where they will stay for 3 nights. There are uninterrupted views of the Zambezi River from the hotel grounds. Guests board a train to enjoy a ride through the Mosi-oa-Tunya Game Park, including a fine dining experience before returning to the hotel.

A highlight of the third day is a 2-hour sunset cruise on the Zambezi. The next day includes a trip to Botswana for additional game viewing in Chobe National Park. The final day guests receive a guided tour of the amazing Victoria Falls. After departing the falls, they are personally escorted back to Johannesburg for a flight to Cape Town where they rejoin the cruise ship to continue the World Cruise.
