Have you ever wanted to see the world but decided to hold back because researching hotels and destinations seems daunting? Then you should look no further than at a world cruise. On a world cruise, you’ll stop at several ports in dozens of countries. One week you’ll be sipping mai tais on a beach in Bora Bora, and another, swimming with dolphins in the Bahamas. World cruises usually are from three months and up and can be a bit pricey. But here are three affordable cruises you can book.
Viking World Cruise
On the Viking World Cruise, you’ll visit 28 countries over 138 days. The trip begins in Ft. Lauderdale. According to the Viking website, you can explore Miami’s art deco or grab a Cuban sandwich in Old Havana. From here, you’ll sail through the Gulf of Mexico to visit Mayan religious sites and then eventually on the Pacific Ocean, where you’ll be able to go back in time as you cross the International Date Line. Finally, the cruise ends in London, where you can visit the royal palaces.
Pricing starts at $59, 995.
Royal Caribbean’s Around the World Cruise
Have you ever wanted to visit some of the world’s great wonders, such as the Taj Mahal and the Great Wall of China? Then look no further than Royal Caribbean’s Ultimate World Cruise. You’ll visit 150+ destinations across all seven continents over 274 nights. The cruise starts and ends in Miami, but you’ll ring in the New Year on Copacabana Beach in Brazil.

The Centenary World Voyages
You’ll start your trip in scenic Hamburg, Germany, where you can visit music halls or the many cafes. You’ll eventually make your way to New Zealand before landing in Eygpt, where you can see the River Nile in Luxor.

World cruises are a great way to see the world and experience different cultures without worrying about booking hotels in different countries and running to catch flights. It is time to sit back and enjoy the ocean air.
