Would You Consider An 8 Month Holiday? – Check Out The Ultimate World Cruise!

Ever embarked upon a full World Cruise? Ever wanted to? Those lucky enough to have done so would probably have cruised for somewhere between 3 and 4 months. One of the principle concerns for those booking such voyages remains the fact that you are away from home/family/loved ones for such a long time.

Compared to the new voyage just released by Viking Cruises however, a 3-4 month voyage looks like a short hop. Viking have announced its most comprehensive itinerary to date with the new Ultimate World Cruise, which will span 245 days, six continents, 59 countries and 113 ports, with 22 port overnights and a full circumnavigation of the globe – making it the longest-ever continuous world cruise itinerary!

Departing from London on August 31, 2019 on Viking Sun, this grand eight-month journey will mark Viking’s third voyage around the globe and will nearly double the length of the company’s previous World Cruise itineraries.

Within the 245-day Ultimate World Cruise itinerary, Viking will also offer guests an option to sail one of two shorter segments during the cruise. Guest can choose between Viking World Treasures, a 127-day sailing from London to Los Angeles that visits 33 countries and 61 ports, or Viking World Wonders, a 119-day journey from Los Angeles to London that visits 29 countries and 55 ports.

Do you think longer World Voyages such as this could be the way forward? For some the thought of being away for 8 months at a stretch sounds like heaven, others I’m sure wouldn’t even entertain the idea (let alone the cost!).

I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Bye for now.
