Prepare to sail around the world

Mediterranean charm to Pacific horizons crossing the Panama Canal

Your world cruise begins in Genoa embracing Mediterranean artistic heritage. After Tenerife’s volcanic slopes, you will sail across the Atlantic and step into the Caribbean. Discover Ocean Cay’s pristine tranquillity, the lush biodiversity of Cozumel and Costa Rica.

Experience the iconic Panama Canal, which marks key moment, before opening onto the vast Pacific Ocean. South America brings the vibrant local character of Callao and Arica.Then the world begins to feel wonderfully remote: the mystery of Easter Island and the poetic islands of Tahiti, Tonga and New Caledonia. You will then arrive in Auckland, New Zealand, where cosmopolitan life meets Māori tradition.

From the Māori traditions of New Zealand to the rich tapestry of Southeast Asian

Marvel at the stunning beauty of New Zealand, marked by misty coastlines and culture rooted in Māori heritage. Your round the world cruise then heads to Australia, where the rhythm shifts to open seas and wild landscapes. From Sydney’s harbour to the character of Australia’s southern coast, the region blends nature and an easy-going lifestyle.

Sailing north, Indonesia offers a world of temples and daily rituals shaped by spirituality. Vietnam adds contrast, with the energy of Ho Chi Minh City, the limestone islands of Ha Long Bay and the preserved charm of Chan May. Thailand closes this second leg, bringing colour and living culture.

From Thailand to Europe, sailing through India and the Suez Canal

From the calm shores Thailand and Cambodia to the modern energy of Singapore, Asia unfolds in layers of tradition and innovation. Sri Lanka, Cochin and Mumbai offer different perspectives on South Asia, where coastal life, spices and vibrant cityscapes shape the everyday.

Sail into the Arabian Gulf, where glamorous Dubai reflects ambition in its modern skylines, while Muscat promises desert serenity. Jordan introduces a sense of timelessness at the gateway to Petra, before the voyage returns toward the Mediterranean. The passage through the Suez Canal carries a quiet sense of arrival, leading on to Alexandria and Civitavecchia (Rome), before completing the world cruise in Genoa.
