WorldCruise

I know what you are probably thinking, as soon as you read the title World Cruise you said to yourself not in this lifetime unless I win the lottery. I will not disagree they are expensive but they are reasonable if they are something you are thinking of doing at retirement or if you are entitled to a sabbatical this might be a nice option.
I am going to profile Princess cruises 2021 world cruise options as yes they do have option of shorter versions of the world cruise. The longest option is 111 days and they have a shorter 87 and 97 days available also.
The 111 day cruise has two options one offers Fort Lauderdale round trip and the other offers Los Angeles. I think I would probably do the west coast as I tend to stay to the east more often. Of course this is a cruise that I would not be including the kids in unless they paid for themselves.
The 111 day cruise starts at $30,000 per person in an inside cabin. I am 11% certain that if I am going to spend that long on a cruise that I would be springing for a balcony or suite. On a short cruise an inside cabin is ok it has a bed to rest your head when you need it but I am thinking on a cruise this length there will be enough sea days that I will want to see the sun have some space to escape when I want need to be on my own. The ship is the Island Princess.


Here is a list of the 48 ports that will be stopped at during the 111 day cruise.  Los Angeles, California, United States | Honolulu, Hawaii, United States | Kona, Hawaii, United States | Tahiti (Papeete), French Polynesia | Bora Bora, French Polynesia | Pago Pago, American Samoa | Cross International Date Line | Suva, Fiji | Bay of Islands, New Zealand | Auckland, New Zealand | Tauranga, New Zealand | Picton, New Zealand | Wellington, New Zealand | New Plymouth, New Zealand | Sydney, New South Wales, Australia | Brisbane, Queensland, Australia | Airlie Beach, Queensland, Australia | Yorkeys Knob (Cairns), Queensland, Australia | Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia | Bali (Benoa), Indonesia | Singapore | Langkawi, Malaysia | Phuket, Thailand | Colombo, Sri Lanka | Dubai, United Arab Emirates | Dubai, United Arab Emirates | Muscat (Mina Qaboos), Oman | Aqaba (Petra), Jordan | Transit the Suez Canal, Egypt | Transit the Suez Canal, Egypt | Jerusalem/Bethlehem (Ashdod), Israel | Kusadasi, Turkey (for Ephesus) | Gythion (for Sparta), Greece | Venice, Italy | Venice, Italy | Ljubljana (Koper), Slovenia | Split, Croatia | Kotor, Montenegro | Valletta, Malta | Sicily (Catania), ItalySorrento, Italy (for Capri & Pompeii) | Rome (Civitavecchia), Italy | Monte Carlo, Monaco | Barcelona, Spain | Malaga, Spain | Casablanca, Morocco (for Marrakech) | Lanzarote (Arrecife), Canary Islands | La Palma, Canary Islands, Spain | Ft.
