World Cruises in 2025 and 2026
A world cruise is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that allows travelers to see many global destinations in a curated journey. These voyages typically visit multiple countries and continents, allowing guests to immerse themselves in a wide range of cultures, cuisines, and traditions, without the hassle of constantly packing and unpacking. World Cruises typically attract passengers from all over the world who share a love for travel and adventure. If you are pondering a vacation like this, you’ve landed at the right spot. We’ve rounded up a list of World Cruises in 2025, 2026 and beyond.
Unlike traditional travel where one has to arrange transportation, accommodations, and activities at each destination, world cruises take care of most of these choices for you. The voyages are traditionally done on smaller-sized ships so that they can sail to numerous destinations without any restrictions. Although smaller, these ships still offer amenities like spas, restaurants, entertainment venues, and recreational facilities, allowing the guests to enjoy the full cruise experience with the added bonus of a globe-trotting vacation.
Following are announced World Cruises in 2025, 2026, and beyond from mainstream, premium, and luxury cruise lines.
Note, many cruise lines offer the option for guests to sail partial legs of their world cruises. We have listed only full cruise details for the full-world sailings being offered.
