Sailing approximately 37,300 nautical miles, this once-in-a-lifetime 2029 voyage links five continents, crosses the Equator twice, and gives you access to 51 UNESCO World Heritage sites along the way.

Your adventure begins in Sydney and Brisbane, before heading into the South Pacific to Nouméa, Mystery Island, Suva, Nuku‘alofa in Tonga and Rarotonga. Crossing the Pacific, you’ll arrive in Central America at Puntarenas in Costa Rica and Fuerte Amador, before a full northbound transit of the Panama Canal through the Cocolí and Agua Clara locks.

The Caribbean then awaits with Cartagena in Colombia, Aruba and Barbados, before crossing the Atlantic to Funchal in Madeira and Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Enter the Mediterranean at Cádiz (for Seville) and Gibraltar, then discover Ajaccio in Corsica, Livorno (for Florence and Pisa), Portoferraio on Elba, Civitavecchia (for Rome), Barcelona and Cartagena in Spain, before a late night in Lisbon.

Heading north, explore Ireland and Britain - Galway, Killybegs, Greenock (for Glasgow), Dún Laoghaire (for Dublin), Cobh (for Cork and Blarney Castle) and Dover (for London). Continue to Zeebrugge (for Brussels and Bruges), IJmuiden (for Amsterdam), Skagen and Copenhagen, then sail Norway’s spectacular coast via Kristiansand, Stavanger, Nordfjordeid and Skjolden in the Sognefjord. Cross the North Atlantic via Runavík in the Faroe Islands to Reykjavík and Ísafjörður in Iceland.

In North America, discover Atlantic Canada at Corner Brook, Gaspé, Charlottetown, Îles de la Madeleine, Sydney (Cape Breton), Halifax and Saint John on the Bay of Fundy, before a late night in New York. Sail south to Miami and Grand Cayman, then make your second full transit of the Panama Canal - southbound this time - through the Agua Clara and Cocolí locks.

Your journey home crosses the South Pacific via Manta in Ecuador, an overnight stay in Lima (Callao) and Pisco in Peru, with scenic cruising near Easter Island and Pitcairn Island. Relax in Tahiti and Moorea, cross the International Date Line to Auckland and Tauranga, then call at Norfolk Island before returning to Sydney.

This is more than a cruise - it’s a grand odyssey around the globe. The 2029 Grand World Odyssey blends adventure, discovery and comfort in one seamless journey, created for travellers who dream of seeing the world on a single, unforgettable voyage. Read less
