World Cruises 2013

Right now Cunard's Ocean Liners sail on the 2012 World Voyages. You can still purchase your trip on the 2013 World Voyages. Both QUEEN MARY 2 and QUEEN VICTORIA will depart from Southampton on 10 January 2013 and begin their epic world sailings with two distinct itineraries. Reserve your place aboard one of these incredible journeys today.

Do not want until 2014? There are still World Cruises 2013 available on most cruise lines.
You do not have to take the complete world cruise, the cruise lines offer also partial world cruises from about two weeks for the cruisers who do not have the vacation time for a full world cruise. Call me at (813) 992 - 0502.

January 2011 I fulfilled my dream, I went on a World Cruise (only the first segment on Queen Mary 2 from New York to Montevideo and then a Southern Transatlantic to Cape Town, where we stayed for two days).

What a great experience this was. The group of passengers was very diverse. We met many people who had been on several World Cruises before and some on their first World Cruise. One couple had never cruised before and went on a full World Cruise without knowing if they liked cruising and ships at all. Needless to say - they loved it.

When planning a World Cruise be aware of the fact, that experienced travel agents can offer you more perks – just because they know.

Here are only some examples that I would like to share with you.

As Cruise Planners is an American Express Travel Representative, we had the opportunity to join the Mariner's Club Group. This Group offers benefits like Travel Hosts, several unique complimentary shore events, private cocktail parties, and cabin credit. Let me book you into a Mariner's Club Group to receive these additional benefits, you do not need to have an American Express Card to qualify for Mariner's Club Groups.
Carnival owns Cunard (who operates QM2, Queen Victoria, and Queen Elizabeth) that means as a share holder of at least 100 Carnival Shares, I received an additional $ 250 cabin credit for the 23 day World Cruise Segment.
Please note, I will always try to get you the best deal for you. Most Cruise Lines have a very strict one price policy, but you can save or get additional perks by choosing the right rate - like past guest, senior, or by using a group rate when Cruise Planners or American Express have established a group.
Please note that Cunard offers an early-booking discount on the World Cruises 2013. If you are looking for a specific cabin or cabin class, you should book soon.

My wife and I travelled on Queen Mary 2 for the first segment of the World Cruise 2011. This was the most interesting cruise I have ever taken. What a great experience this was. The group of passengers was very diverse. We met many people who had been on several World Cruises before and some on their first World Cruise. One couple had never cruised before and went on a full World Cruise without knowing if they liked cruising and ships at all. Needless to say - they loved it. I recommend to take Queen Mary 2 for a World Cruise as it is the most stable ship you can get for a World Cruise. It has a deep-V hull which made it more expensive to built and it is a large ship with many open common areas. For the evening entertainment, if you do not like the show, you can select to go to the movies (now some even in 3D on QM2) in the planetarium, which doubles as a movie theater.
When planning a World Cruise be aware of the fact, that experienced travel agents can give you advice and offer you more perks – just because they know.

You are travelling for several months on the World Cruise. You want to make sure that you know other people sailing on the ship. When my wife and I sailed on the first segment of the World Cruise on QM2 we were part of the American Express Mariner's Club Group of about 70 people. The advantage was that you meet fellow passengers on Coctail parties and during each segment American Express offers a free very special shore excursion. In our case it was a wine tasting in Montevideo, Uruguay to a small winery with a great wine tasting and lunch. The steak was large, the people in Uruguay and Argentina like their meat - and the quality was great.

Important to know

Please note: For most World Cruises and Segments I can book you into American Express Groups, as Cruise Planners is an American Express Travel Partner - or Cruise Planner Groups. You do not have to pay with an American Express Card to receive Mariner's Club Benefits.
A host that is available for you, coctail parties, and several special land excursions are the benefits of the Mariner's Club.

There are still cabins available on most World Cruises on Cunard, Princess, Crystal, Yachts of Seabourn, and Holland America cruise lines. Cunard is very famous for their world cruises as they always have two ships sailing around the world and they were the first ever organizing a World Cruise. Please let me know

What are the prices for a full World Cruise

World Cruises start at just under $ 20,000 per person and the highest priced suites are $ 200,000 +. The more you want to spend, the earlier you should book your World Cruise, as the most expensive suites usually sell first.
