This cruise is the most comprehensive way to experience all Seven Wonders of the World – but plenty more besides, visiting more than 40 countries across six continents and living unforgettable moments such as walking on 2,000-year-old stones at the Great Wall of China and standing in awe before the Pyramids of Giza.
Along with standard inclusions including gratuities and AzAmazing Evenings®, guests receive more $22,000 in exclusive amenities, including $7,000 onboard credit per stateroom, Business Class air travel, a pre-voyage hotel stay, transfers and access to exclusive events.
It’s possible to do one section of it, or a couple of sections together, but there’s nothing quite like a round-the-world cruise. We’ve picked out a few of our favourite legs.
Beginning in Fort Lauderdale with its golden beaches and eclectic arts and culture, this part of the cruise takes you to Cozumel, Mexico, for glass-bottom boat tours, fishing charters and scuba diving. You’ll proceed to Puerto Limón to experience Costa Rica’s Afro-Caribbean culture together with thrilling eco-adventures.
From here you’ll sail through the Panama Canal, one of the wonders of the contemporary world, to Manta, Ecuador, with its surfing and kite-surfing, then to Guayaquil, Ecuador’s largest city, with its Iguana Park and pre-Columbian artifacts. You finish up in Peru, exploring the archaeological sites of Huaca de la Luna y Sol, Huaca del Dragon and Chan Chan then discovering Lima’s gastronomy and museums.
Sailing from Lima, you’ll spend five days unwinding at sea before reaching Easter Island, Chile with its famed moai – monolithic human figures. Then it’s on to Adamstown, capital of Pitcairn, UK, the world’s most remote island, with just 40 inhabitants, then Fakarava, French Polynesia – a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve with snorkelling over giant, fluorescent coral heads. Moorea is your next overnight stay; spot spinner dolphins, rough-toothed dolphins and pilot whales. The final stop is Papeete, Tahiti, to explore the ancient Polynesian temple of Arahurahu Marae.
