Creator's Key Takeaways
After over 65 cruises, yes, more than 65, you'd think I'd be the first to shout yes to a world cruise. But the truth, my answer might surprise you.
But what happens when two turn into six, then eight, and then 12 in a row? For many American travelers, especially retirees, empty nesters, or digital nomads who finally saved up for this voyage, the idea of floating aimlessly for days on end sounds peaceful at first.
Cruise lines almost always assign their older, smaller ships for these world voyages. Not because they're trying to be stingy, but because these ships can sneak into ports, the bigger, flashier ships simply can't.
While you're sailing past glaciers and pyramids, life back home doesn't just sit still and wait. Your neighborhood keeps humming. Your mailbox keeps filling.
