World Cruise Guide

Demand for World Cruises is high and there are more to choose from than ever. Cruise lines are announcing new deployments earlier and earlier to meet the demand. There is so much to consider when choosing the right itinerary and ship. Booking early will reward you with the benefits of getting your preferred location and the best value. We have put together a World Cruise Guide to help get the conversation started. But don’t do this alone. Your Travel of America Travel Advisor in your partner in World Cruise selection and planning.

Most world cruises have options to embark or disembark in different ports creating a variety of itineraries, cruise lengths and departure dates. We have listed one option for each ship so keep in mind that segments may be available. Some cruises on our list are not a true circumnavigation world cruise, but we have elected to include them when they are 90 nights or longer. Sold out sailings have been removed from this list so only cruises with available rooms are listed (as of November 2025). Let’s get started!
