The months of January and September are the best to start a trip around the world on a cruise, So now you know, put the batteries and make your reservation in any of the 183 itineraries that the main companies propose for this year.
The main cities to embark on this adventure are Barcelona, Southampton, Seattle or Fort Lauderdale.
Although we speak of trips "around the world" if you look closely you will see that in reality They are cruises of more than 20 days of duration that touch several continents. In most of these the stopovers are continuous, that is to say that you can really go around the world if you are hiring one stopover after another, or simply return home from the other end of the planet.
One of these trips that I would recommend is the one that visits the coasts of Cambodia, Myanmar, Japan, China, India, Singapore, Vietnam, Sri Lanka and Thailand. Almost 40 days, departing on March 7 from Shanghai, aboard the Nautica of the Oceania Cruise shipping company. This ship has been completely renovated in 2014, and its 684 guests medium size is ideal for reaching exclusive ports and enclaves, off the beaten track.
Few days before, On February 21 the Queen Elizabeth will depart from Auckland, bound to visit Australia, Papua New Guinea, Malaysia, South Korea, South Africa, Japan, China, Mauritius, Singapore, Reunion, Vitenam, Sri Lanka and New Zealand. The journey is two months And there are still free cabins, yes, they are not the most economical precisely, but this type of trip is only done once in a lifetime. It was precisely the Cunard shipping company who "invented" round-the-world cruises, here you have an article where I explain it to you.
Last I propose 32 days aboard the Silver Spirit, visiting the coasts of Uruguay, Barbados, Argentina, Brazil and France. The departure of this route is on February 20, from the port of Buenos Aires, so you can still book.
