Sail in decadence on an around the world cruise
Journeying on a world cruise has never been more enticing, with renowned luxury cruise lines such as Silversea , Seabourn , and Cunard hosting a magnificent selection of sailings any kind of traveller is sure to love. Featuring spacious accommodation options, extravagant social spaces to discover fellow friendly explorers, as well as divine dining venues with a variety of cuisines, world cruises remove all the stress you might ever have with travel. Furthermore, with a fantastic selection of shore excursions on offer at each port of call, guests can truly immerse themselves in each destination on a world cruise the way they want to.
Discover the easiest way to see the globe on world cruises
The real appeal for many explorers on an around the world cruise is the ability to check into a cabin or suite once and yet still see up to hundreds of destinations throughout the globe. No need to worry about checking in or out or unpacking then repacking your belongings, let your accommodation take you to where you want to go without needing to catch a single flight.
Moreover, world cruises give you the chance to make genuine connections with your fellow travellers and staff who help you every day. Many past world cruise passengers often delight over their friendships they made throughout the voyage. From sitting next to each other during meal times to booking onshore excursions together, the bonds you form on world cruises are ones that could potentially last a lifetime.
Short on time? Take a world cruise segment instead
Have a packed schedule and are worried that you cannot make enough time for a world cruise that can often go for most of the year? Are your friends going for an epic six-month long world cruise which you simply do not have the time for? Have no worries, as luxury cruise lines often provide world cruise segment options that offer shorter sailings to specific regions of the globe. Whether you are looking for a two-month world cruise exploring all of Europe or a three-month around the world cruise covering Asia and Australia, there will be a voyage just right for you. Planning your next grand adventure has never been simpler, and with so many options available, finding the right sailing is only a click or two away.

World Cruises
This is CruiseMapper's World Cruise schedule where you can compare itineraries, departure dates, ports, and destinations. For more detailed information on "Around The World" cruise ships - just follow the ship links from the below table. This page is integrated with our Suez Canal cruise ship transits and Transatlantic cruises ( repositioncruises.com ).
Vacationers on cruises around the world are able to experience culture-rich opportunities while sightseeing on multiple continents. Combine exciting land tours with leisurely days at sea. Fulfill your dreams and book a world cruise to explore the globe!
You are not alone in your dream to discover what lies there, beyond the horizon... It has been a part of human nature since immemorial time. It was not until 1922 when the first passenger circumnavigation was made by Cunard Line that adventurous souls could follow Magellan's way around the world.
"Around the World Cruise"
"Around The World" cruises are the perfect voyages for those who want it all. This type of cruise vacations is an opportunity to explore beautiful landscapes, diverse cultures, and wildlife on earth. As they last as long as 110 days, dock at upwards of thirty ports, round the world cruises take guests to the globe's most exciting destinations in comfort and style. Another option for travelers who think it's much time at sea is taking just an itinerary section (one of the smaller segments), so as to explore one region only.
Cruisers who look for stunning landscapes, histories, exotic wildlife, fine beaches, or first-class cuisine are certain to find the ideal destination on round the world itineraries. The main World Voyage attraction is that they allow you to visit far-flung destinations in one package, for example- the Mediterranean & the South Pacific, without the typical travel drawbacks. Go and see exotic locations, and then return to your ship for dinner and entertain yourself. And imagine this goes on and on for so many days... Sounds like perfectly splendid to me!
Around The World voyages itinerary routes
- Australia - Sydney Harbour; tropical Queensland; the Great Barrier Reef;
- the Pacific - Pacific islands; the islands of Fiji, French Polynesia & Hawaii;
- Asia - Vietnam coastline, rich with monuments & temples;
- the Middle East - heading through the Suez Canal at Egypt - Aqaba, Luxor, Muscat. The alternative route- down Africa's east coast with stops at Cape Town or Mombasa;
- West America - the cosmopolitan USA cities; the ports of Mexico, with ruins of ancient Mayan cultures.
- South America - the Brazilian rainforest; the magnificent city of Rio de Janeiro.
- Europe - Athens- the ancient capital, and the architecturally amazing Barcelona.
List of popular cruise ports on Around The World voyages
Round the World voyages usually from some of the world's largest major port cities, such as Southampton , Tilbury-London , NYC New York , Los Angeles , Miami , Fort Lauderdale , Sydney Australia . A lot of cruise vacations run from Singapore or Sydney to Pacific islands, west to Europe, and around the Asian ports, either round Africa (via Cape Town) or through the Suez Canal (transition) . Some of the lines take guests west, down the USA coast through the Panama Canal (transition) , after which- across to Dubai . If you are interested in the subject of the world circumnavigation in general - this is the Wikipedia article about it.
Shorter around the world itineraries (segments) may start in Melbourne Australia , Brisbane Australia , Singapore , Hong Kong China , Cape Town (South Africa) .
Is the World Cruise cost worth it?
There are people who really love the endless lazy days at sea with little to do. For others, the joy of cruising is to be able to visit different new places all around the world in a short time.
What about Around The World cruise ship offers, then? Will you survive after experiencing all the long days at sea (for example, an Australia-Southampton sector lasts 40 days)? If your answer is "not sure", better book two shorter voyages instead- thus you'll have more call ports and more new impressions. Just look carefully at the new-issued itineraries before you book a world cruise.
The atmosphere onboard Round The World cruise ships is very different from Mediterranean or Caribbean cruise vacations, so choose the world cruise line very carefully! Lots of people believe that you have to be old enough and retired to set sail on a Grand Voyage. True, and not so true. There are plenty of still working people onboard who have persuaded employers to give some months off. And all of them are mid-class and above, and most of them are really really really affluent.
Before committing to a World Voyage of three or more months away from home, bear in mind a few things first:
- World Cruises deals present a great chance to see interesting parts of the globe, but better work out the number of sea days included in cruise deals, first. With more ports of call in your itinerary, you will be swept off your feet by the exotic sites and forget to think about the long days at sea in between.
- If you don’t have the money and time for sailing all the way around, better book a segment! Companies have an amazing organization - some passengers get off here, others board there.
- Around-the-world cruises attract older people just because they have the time (and money, of course) to be away for several months. Do you want to show the kids new cultures? Forget about world cruising and book two shorter cruises instead!
- The irony about "Around The World" voyages is that actually they don't sail fully round the world. On the other hand, it is true that these voyages, lasting from more than seventy, and up to 116 nights, offer vacationers the chance to see diverse cultures wrapped into one single voyage. Even those who cannot commit to a full voyage can participate through the popular "segment" option, ranging from a week to more than one month.
- Most "world cruise ships" usually start their Grand Voyages in January and the itineraries end in March-April-May. However, after Australia became a hot ship travel vacation destination in 2015, some of the companies offer roundtrip "World Cruise" deals from Sydney Australia. These itineraries often start in May, and even in July.

10 Around-the-world Cruises for the Trip of a Lifetime
These world cruises offer the ultimate itineraries.
Elizabeth Rhodes is a special projects editor at Travel + Leisure , covering everything from luxury hotels to theme parks to must-pack travel products. Originally from South Carolina, Elizabeth moved to New York City from London, where she started her career as a travel blogger and writer.
Want to island hop around French Polynesia, visit Africa's incredible cities, and cruise through Asia without ever switching hotels or repacking your bags? An around-the-world cruise provides the ultimate itinerary, packed with exciting international destinations (some even visit hard-to-reach destinations like Easter Island and Antarctica), and luxury cruise lines provide comfortable accommodations, specialty restaurants, and plenty to do on and off the ship.
There are two main things you need before booking a world cruise: plenty of time and some spare cash. Prices range from around $20,000 to upwards of $100,000 per person, and all our top picks are more than 100 days (one is even a whopping 275 days), so they're ideal for retired travelers looking for their next big adventure. Pack wisely for a range of destinations and climates, and get ready for the journey of a lifetime, filled with postcard-perfect destinations and new friends (because you're bound to meet a travel buddy or two after 100-plus days on a ship). If an around-the-world cruise is at the top of your travel list, you'll want to book sooner rather than later — these journeys frequently sell out because many cruise lines only offer a limited number of sailings.
Here are ten of the best around-the-world cruises you can take in 2023 and 2024.

This Amazing Around The World Cruise Just Left Australia — Why We Wish We Were On It
- News and Tips
- Travel News
Silversea Cruises’ 2023 World Cruise is on its 139-day journey. Departing from Sydney, Australia, Silver Shadow will sail from the South Seas to the Amazon Rainforest calling in 66 destinations in 34 countries across five continents and arriving in Fort Lauderdale on May 28.
“Every detail of our guests’ journeys has been carefully considered and enhanced, from the in-flight experience to the airport lounges and entertainment: arriving in Sydney on business-class flights with additional cabin crew to ensure exceptional service, guests will enjoy bespoke pampering with tailored menus, welcome canapés, vintage champagne, and specially-embroidered linen,” said Barbara Muckermann, president and CEO of Silversea Cruises. “Each of the special events we have planned is entirely bespoke, too.”
This “South Side Story” cruise marks the first time a leading ultra-luxury and expedition cruise line has set sail from the Southern Hemisphere on a world cruise.
Silver Shadow Itinerary
Guests onboard the Silver Shadow will get to experience an extraordinary number of destinations, including 20 overnight calls. Explore the remote wonders of Papua New Guinea, Mauritius, Réunion Island, and Cape Verde to 10 days in Tasmania and New Zealand, three days in Myanmar, and a full week in South Africa. And for the first time on a Silversea World Cruise, Silver Shadow will sail down the Amazon River.
Accommodations
Another first for Silversea , guests will enjoy a seamless World Cruise journey from start to finish. There are private executive transfers to and from the airport, private assistance to the gate/lounge, and access to designated airline lounges. From select U.S. and U.K. gateways to Sydney, guests will fly business class and enjoy Australian seasonal ingredients for in-flight dining. Once in Australia, guests will have VIP arrival assistance, private executive transfers, and priority embarkation. There will also be Silver Shadow butlers available to help guests unpack.
Silver Shadow Amenities
The Silver Shadow accommodates 388 guests and has spacious suites with incredible views. Guests also can enjoy complimentary pilates and yoga within the expanded fitness center. There is the Panorama Lounge and the Observation Lounge with beautiful ocean views. Relax on the pool deck in a whirlpool or the pool that is cool for warmer climates and heated in cooler ones. There is also a luxury shopping experience with carefully selected partners offering clothing, jewelry, accessories, and cosmetics. You can also unwind in the beauty spa with facials, body wraps, and massages. Or try your luck in the casino with roulette, blackjack, and slot machines.
Silver Shadow Food And Drink
With four restaurants onboard, there is variety for everyone. The restaurant is the main dining room with contemporary, international cuisine. The menus will feature items that are unique to the destination. For example, try the roasted Chilean sea bass while sailing through the Chilean fjords and Indian chicken korma while cruising to Mumbai.
La Dame is named after “La Dame de Paris,” or the Eiffel Tower, and is the impeccable white-gloved service Silversea is known for. It features food inspired by the French gastronomic past married with its culinary future.
Enjoy some of Italy’s best food served à la carte at La Terrazza. It uses ingredients straight from Italy like buffalo mozzarella from Naples, organic balsamic vinegar, olive oil from Umbria, 24-month-aged parmigiano reggiano, and air-dried ham from Parma. The pasta is made daily onboard the ship.
For a very unique experience, you can enjoy lava stone cooking at The Grill. Guests cook the food right on their table using volcanic rock that is placed in an oven to reach 400 degrees Celsius, or 752 degrees Fahrenheit.

The most important cruising tips, from a couple who's just set off on their 130th cruise

Every week, 9Travel shares a top travel tip from our readers or our writers. Have something to share? Email us at [email protected] for a chance to be featured in an upcoming story.
They're about to get on their 130th cruise .
And Aussie couple Marty and Jessica Ansen have made headlines around the world for their devotion to a life lived mostly at sea.
They have sailed roughly 770,000 nautical miles over more than 2,300 days on ships - which is more than six years.

The Brisbane great grandparents, who are both 77, have just headed off on Coral Princess for their tenth trip around the globe.
It is also their 52nd consecutive cruise.
By the time they get off they will have will have done more than 26 months on the ship - much more than any of the crew.
And while they've been to all the destinations already, there is one place they are excited to see again.
"We are happy to revisit the Scandinavian countries," Marty said.

And having spent so much time on cruise ships they of course have plenty of advice.
Here are their top tips.
Take a backup credit or debit card
"Replacing a lost or stolen card while overseas is not for the fainthearted," Marty said.
Take clear copies of your passports.
Consulates find it a lot easier if you can provide a copy ready to go when you disembark, they advised.
Wear your heaviest clothing
"Jessica and I have one piece of luggage, usually under 20kg," Marty said.
"We also each have one bag of hand luggage. Going on board, regardless of weather, I wear my heaviest clothing."
Leave toiletries at home
"Leave consumables like shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste and any creams and potions at home as Princess provides basic toiletries and anything you do need can be bought at the first port," Marty said.
Check electrical connections
"Check what electrical connection is used onboard and have the right adapter ready to charge your devices,' Marty said.
Many ships have American and European plug points, while newer ones may have USB connections too.

Get insurance
Make sure you're covered for cruising - and take a copy of the details, the couple said.
Bring prescriptions
As well as checking you have enough medication, you should also bring paperwork.
"As an extra precaution carry copies of scripts so that if you do run out or lose your medications it will be easier to prove what you need to overseas pharmacies or doctors," Marty said.
Pack essentials in hand luggage
It sounds simple but some people do forget.
When you get on a cruise your checked luggage is taken to your cabin and may take a few hours to arrive.
So you'll need to keep important items with you.
"Place all jewellery, passports, visas, medication money and credit/debit cards in your hand luggage for easy retrieval," Marty said.

Meanwhile, Princess has just launched its newest ship, Sun Princess.

11 Around-The-World Cruises For An Epic Getaway
"Sailing around the world" sounds so romantic, doesn't it? You're sailing to remote islands with like-minded people while chasing sunsets on a distant horizon. Sure, you can just board a plane to, say, New Zealand, but there's something so pure and patient about maritime journeys. Cruises are like floating resorts, which ease their way over the waves. It's the definition of "slow travel."
Amazingly, in the modern world of jet-setting travel, round-the-world cruises do exist. Voyagers visit dozens of ports over the course of their odyssey, each with its own landscape, climate, and personality. There are lots of ways travelers can experience "the trip of a lifetime," but this kind of circumnavigation outmatches just about all of them -- and in style. However, there are a few things to consider before investigating such cruises. First, what does it actually mean to sail "around the world?"
Many companies use this phrase — and sail thousands of nautical miles — but only around a single ocean or hemisphere. Even when ships do sail a distance equivalent to the equator (or more), they rarely return to their precise port of origin. Also, these epic cruise vacations can be pricey ; the kind of dream that merits cashing in a 401K, and the time commitment is also substantial, meaning months on the water. But for diehard cruisers, crisscrossing the planet could easily be worth the time and money, and if this sounds like you, these 11 cruise lines are scheduled to sail around the world.

Viking: World Cruise
For 138 days, passengers frog-hop through the Caribbean, pass through the Panama Canal, make their way to the islands of Polynesia, and skirt Australia, Asia, and Europe before finally dropping their anchor in London. On Viking's World Cruise, you can step ashore in 28 different nations and pick from 57 guided tours. Viking has been a prolific, respected cruise line since its founding in 1997, and this three-quarter circumnavigation sets sail in December 2024, so there's still time to book.
Ships are equipped with spas, luxury dining options, and cabin beds that can be separated or combined, among many other touches. Long before stepping aboard, the Viking website has a virtual 360-degree tour, acquainting future travelers with the ship's staterooms. Viking has thoughtfully put together a reading list to help travelers get a deeper understanding of the countries they will visit, which is especially helpful in little-understood destinations like Moorea and Indonesia. The ship also has a sizable library onboard for further research. This, plus its sophisticated tours and dining options that reflect the culture of each port, may explain Viking's moniker, "the thinking person's cruise." Quality does come at a price, with full passage starting at $59,995.
Ambassador: Grand Round The World Cruise
The Ambiance sets off from London, crosses the Atlantic, passes through Panama, and hits Australia, Southeast Asia, Africa, and South America before pinging back to the United Kingdom. Not only do you cross all the major oceans, but you actually cross the Atlantic three times. Most of these destinations are warm-weather ports, including Sydney at the height of summer. Sunscreen and wide-brimmed hats are recommended on this largely equatorial route.
Ambassador is new to the cruise scene, having been established in the United Kingdom in 2021, and Ambiance is its flagship vessel. Passengers will spend their 120-night voyage in extreme comfort, traveling to 24 countries and 34 ports of call, with top-notch dining, live entertainment, and about 35,000 nautical miles in between. If you can live without a porthole, opting for an inside cabin on the cruise , then passage starts at the budget-friendly price of $8,500 per person, making this Ambassador cruise one of the most economical on this list. You can also add on drink packages and arrange tours in advance or onboard through an agent or the Ambassador app. You can also explore the ship before you travel, thanks to a 360-degree virtual tour. The 2024 voyage sets sail on June 6.
Regent: World Cruise
The 2026 Regent World Cruise starts in Miami and ends in Miami, which makes it convenient to coordinate, especially if you're already based in the United States. Regent Seven Seas Cruises was founded in 1992 and is a respected brand in the industry.
The ship, the Seven Seas Mariner, also lives up to its name with a formidable 154-night itinerary: the Panama Canal, points along Central America, a dozen Pacific islands, Australia, South Asia, East Africa, and two Atlantic islands before returning to Florida. The Mariner arrives in many well-trod ports like Cape Town and Acapulco, but the route also includes locations that most travelers would have trouble pinpointing on a map: Lautoka, Abidjan, and Male are all names cruisers will become familiar with. To really explore these places, Regent organizes a whopping 431 free shore excursions across six continents, 77 ports, and 47 UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Sailing nearly 40,000 nautical miles with world-class spas, dining, and entertainment aboard doesn't come cheap. While you'll need to contact Regent to request specific prices, passengers can expect to pay nearly $100,000 for passage. Regent's World Cruise is considered a luxury-level experience with first-class airfare, gratuities, and 24-hour room service included. If this is your tax bracket, just wait until you see the suites.
Royal Caribbean: Ultimate World Cruise
Royal Caribbean has been taking tourists to far-flung destinations since the late 1960s, and it's now one of the most recognizable cruise companies in the world, so naturally Royal Caribbean would host a round-the-world voyage. But even for seasoned travelers, the Ultimate World Cruise is pretty, well, ultimate. Royal Caribbean's world cruise lasts 274 nights and arrives in no fewer than 60 countries. In other words, you'll spend nine months at sea and personally visit more than a quarter of the sovereign nations on Earth. The saga starts and ends in Miami, where the Royal Caribbean is headquartered, which should make arrangements easy.
The biggest bragging right of all: This cruise touches on every single continent, including Elephant Island and Paradise Bay in Antarctica. You'll find yourself in both Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Australia, plus ports you've never even heard of. That said, unless your soul is fueled by pure wanderlust, this itinerary may sound like a lot of cruising, which may explain why Royal Caribbean has divided the journey into four segments. Cruisers don't have to commit to the entire itinerary; they can easily pick from the quarter that most interests them.
By the time you read this, a segment may be the only option left, as the next Ultimate World Cruise departs in December of 2023. The segments are significantly more affordable as well. An interior stateroom for the full cruise costs at least $60,000 per person, while a segment starts at $12,500.
Cunard: Full World Voyage
When the Queen Mary 2 departs from New York City on January 3, 2024, it won't return to this same harbor for 123 nights. The itinerary isn't exactly "around the world," but rather a crossing of the Eastern Hemisphere — twice. Passengers traverse the Atlantic to the United Kingdom, then ease their way down the eastern coast of Africa before beelining for Australia. The ship boomerangs back, with many stops in Asia, a shortcut through the Suez Canal, and a tour of the Mediterranean before heading back to the U.S.
The voyage comes at the heels of Cunard's 100th anniversary, making it the second-oldest company on the list. The Queen Mary 2 has been Cunard's flagship vessel since 2004, and the company has mastered hospitality over the past century, with exceptional dining, luxury suites, and Broadway-quality performances by the Royal Court Theatre. Cunard also takes pride in its children's facilities, encouraging families to travel together, as well as the great English tradition of afternoon tea. Most of the budget cabins on the Queen Mary 2 were already booked at the time of this writing, but cabins with balconies are still available, starting at the not-ludicrous price of $16,899 per person.
Oceania: Around The World In 180 Days
When Junes Verne wrote his novel "Around the World in Eighty Days," his Victorian goal was to travel as quickly as possible. Oceania is now advertising the opposite: This journey takes passengers the long way from Los Angeles to New York City, across the Pacific, around Australia, along the coasts of East Asia, and then up through the Middle East, Mediterranean, Northern Europe, and even Greenland. The itinerary doesn't spend much time in the "global south," so you'll have to visit Africa and South America another time.
The Miami-based Oceania was founded in 2002 and specializes in long-haul cruises, so they know their system well. This cruise may be especially appealing to foodies. The company takes particular pride in its onboard meals as well as in-country Culinary Discovery Tours. Passengers can also take advantage of The Aquamar Spa & Vitality Center, which can orchestrate a special dietary regimen.
Oceania exudes "small-ship luxury" and caps its total number of passengers at 1,250. Everything about the ship is more intimate than found on its larger cousins, from the live entertainment to the duty-free boutiques. If you like a small-town feel, 180 days should be just enough time to meet all your shipmates. If you can't summon the time or (at least) $47,599 by January 2024, the next ship departs in January 2025.
Princess: 111-Day World Cruise
This Princess cruise is another true circumnavigation, starting in Los Angeles and bearing west until the ship arrives back at its original dock. The 111-day cruise starts on January 18, 2024, and includes all three major oceans, both the Suez and Panama Canals, plus 47 ports along the way. The itinerary is light on Asian and African ports and skips South America altogether, but you can still enjoy visits to Australia, the Middle East, and numerous destinations around Europe.
Princess is a hallowed name in the cruise industry. Not only have its ships been sailing the world since the 1960s, but Princess is still one of the most profitable cruise companies in the world. Passengers can expect onboard enrichment programs, award-winning live performances, and rejuvenating treatments at the Lotus Spa. Each port will also bring its own offerings of special excursions, from river rafting to art tours.
With its dependable quality of service and nearly four-month itinerary, it's remarkable that base bookings start at only $15,498. Better yet, if you want to circle the globe with the whole family, this Princess itinerary is a family-friendly cruise and offers youth programming, which is not always the case. If you miss this one, no worries. Three more, of varying lengths, are slated for January 2025.
Holland America Line: Grand World Voyage
Fort Lauderdale is the beginning and end point for the Zuiderdam, which spends 128 days making a complete circle around the globe. Holland America's Grand World Voyage is true to its name. Passengers travel across the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans, making port on five continents. Most of its destinations are clustered around Asia and the Mediterranean, and it skips over Australia. But the Voyage is a rare opportunity to sail up the Amazon River, with visits to inland Brazilian cities most travelers would never think to visit.
Holland America began as a shipping and passenger line in the mid-19th Century, and its history of cruising is nearly as old as the concept. The flagship Zuiderdam is a luxury vessel with a swimming pool and sizable theater. It also boasts several diverse dining areas, including the Pinnacle Grill steakhouse, the Italian-themed Canaletto, and the à la carte Lido Market. There's Billboard Onboard, a special room for trivia nights and karaoke, as well as World Stage, a presentation space with a wraparound LED screen. Bookings start at the more expensive rate of $22,499 for an inside cabin, and the 2024 voyage will set sail on January 3, 2024, but you can expect additional Grand World Voyages to be slated in the coming years.
Azamara: World Voyage
Formerly part of the Royal Caribbean fleet, Azamara is now an independent company taking its own journeys. The 2025 World Voyage begins in San Diego and sails westward, across the Pacific, to Australia, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and the Mediterranean, before passengers disembark in Barcelona. The World Voyage doesn't quite girdle the globe, stopping just short of the Atlantic Ocean, and the only stop in Africa is Giza. But this 155-night expedition should satisfy almost any traveler, especially with its 40 countries and 22 overnights.
Unlike many world cruises, Azamara has divided its full itinerary into segments with clear geographic themes, such as "South Pacific Jewels" and "Mediterranean Icons." These titles can help turn experiences into coherent narratives. For example, "Ancient Pathways" draws a historic and economic line between Mumbai and Athens, along with all ports in between. These themes are coupled with thoughtful excursions, which are often scheduled around local holidays and festivals. The World Voyage for 2024 appears to be sold out, but the 2025 edition sets sail on January 5. Passage starts at a princely $39,999.
Freighter Cruises
Some of us want to keep it simple. No need for late-night show-stoppers, cocktail parties with hundreds of strangers, or daring bets at the roulette wheel. "Freighter cruises" have gone by many names over the years, such as "banana boats" and "cargo cruises," but passengers have hitched rides on commercial ships since the dawn of seafaring. These accommodations come in many forms, and you do have to share your vessel with stacks of massive shipping containers; still, you can expect a comfortable cabin and regular meals, along with friendly and respectful crewmembers from around the world. For travelers with a Jack London streak, the freighter cruise feels raw and adventurous.
The Freighter Travel Club was founded in 1958, and companies like Maris Freighter Cruises and Voyage en Cargo have booked passengers on commercial vessels for years. Maris has arranged round-the-world itineraries in the past, and multi-week journeys are common, as enormous loads are floated from one nation to the next. The pandemic took its toll on this niche industry, and most of these journeys do not precisely travel around the world. But when they're in operation, freighter cruises usually cost a little over $100 per day, and savvy travelers have flexibility in their bookings.
Miray Cruises: Life At Sea
Sure, cruising is fun, but what if you want to turn your ship into a semi-permanent address? Life at Sea Cruises promises three years of luxury seafaring, with stops in 140 countries across all seven continents. By the time you're done with these 382 ports, you'll have more photos to sort through and stories to share than most people will amass in a lifetime.
That sounds life-changing, but we'll have to see whether it's too good to be true. Life at Sea is a brand-new enterprise from Miray Cruises, and the maiden voyage has been fraught with delays. However, at the time of this writing, Life at Sea should get underway by the end of 2023, and most full-voyage passengers should already be sailing by 2024. If all goes well, there are four scheduled embarkation options for travelers who want to hop aboard later on, and more will likely be scheduled.
One of the problems has been the ship itself. For a while, the purchase of the ship was in limbo, pushing back the original sail date. However, the MV Lara now seems ready to sail. The medium-sized vessel has space for 1,266 passengers, with a range of cozy cabins, a wellness center, and a pool deck, among many other amenities. Travelers committed to living at sea for three years should get a lot out of their floating home. Life at Sea is a dreamy concept, so let's hope for calm waters once it finally sets sail.

University students across the globe protest the Israel-Hamas war
Pro-Palestinian protests at universities in the US are showing no signs of slowing down. But they aren’t limited to the United States. At The University of Sydney, in Sydney, Australia, students have set up a temporary encampment modeled on US ones. And students at other universities around the world are following suit.
- By Sarah Birnbaum
About 60 tents are clustered in front of the Great Hall at The University of Sydney in Sydney, Australia. Some are spray-painted with popular slogans from the pro-Palestine movement.
Sixty or so tents are clustered in front of the Gothic-style Great Hall at The University of Sydney in Sydney, Australia. Some are spray-painted with popular slogans from the pro-Palestinian movement.
The encampment, inspired by US demonstrations, sprung up at the university about a week ago. Students here have also led protests and blocked traffic.
Declan Godwin is one of the Sydney protest’s organizers.
“It’s safe to say, without us, there wouldn’t be an encampment here, and it was a very simple case of us watching videos of students occupying their universities, and then, of police smashing those occupations up. Which inspired us to think, well, why don’t we just do the same thing here?” Godwin said.
Students across the globe appear to have had the same idea. In Paris earlier this week, police removed dozens of protesters who had occupied the main courtyard of Sorbonne University. At Sciences Po university , also in Paris, students blocked access to a campus building with makeshift barricades made from bicycles, plastic trash bins and planks of wood.
Pro-Palestinian demonstrators at University College London demanded an end to the war in Gaza. In Italy, violent clashes broke out with police at Sapienza University of Rome. Students there chained themselves together and went on a three-day hunger strike . And protest encampments are going up at universities in Canada and New Zealand.
In Sydney, protesters say they have no plans to leave anytime soon.
“We’re demanding the university cut ties with Israel through the strategic research partnerships the university has with weapons companies such as Thales, which is the sixth-largest weapons company in the world,” Godwin said.
Thales funds PhD programs at the university in the mechanical and electrical engineering departments. Thales also works with Israeli weapons manufacturer Elbit systems to build drones that have been used in attacks on Gaza.
“Our university allows student and staff research to go towards perfecting that military technology, sometimes without the knowledge of staff and students who have been participating,” he explained.
The University of Sydney has indicated it won’t divest from firms that do business with Israel or boycott academic exchanges with Israeli universities.
The university declined a request to comment but sent a statement saying the school is committed to allowing peaceful protests, but warned anyone breaking the university’s rules would face disciplinary action.
Jasmine El Rawy, who represents Students for Palestine, said she feels what they’re doing on campus is significant.
“I was sent a photo that was taken in Gaza where someone had written in one of the tents, in one of the many refugee camps being set up, they wrote like, ‘Australia we see you, we hear you in Gaza.’ So, what we’re doing isn’t just a small thing at Sydney University but actually gives them hope as well.”
Rawy said that she wants people in Gaza to know that students around the world are standing with them, and watching what’s happening on campuses across the US , and she said that she’s eager to see that message spread.
