Royal Caribbean's Ultimate World Cruise, launching in December 2023, sets a new record as the longest cruise offered by a mainstream commercial cruise line. This remarkable journey spans 274 nights and takes passengers to over 60 countries across seven continents.

 

The cruise promises an unparalleled experience, visiting eight of the "World's Wonders," such as the Great Wall of China, Iguazú Falls, Machu Picchu, Christ the Redeemer, Chichén Itzá, The Colosseum, The Taj Mahal, and the Great Barrier Reef.

 

Embarking on the Serenade of the Seas, a Radiance-class ship with a capacity for 2,100 passengers, travelers have the flexibility to book segments of the journey or embark on the entire global itinerary.

 

The adventure begins with the Ultimate Americas Cruise, starting in Los Angeles and including stops in Hawaii and French Polynesia. It then transitions to the Ultimate Asia Pacific Cruise, covering destinations like Australia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Hong Kong, Japan, and India.

 

The journey continues with the Ultimate Africa and Southern Europe leg, departing from Dubai and visiting the Seychelles, Madagascar, South Africa, Namibia, Ghana, Canary Islands, Italy, Slovenia, and Croatia. The final segment, Ultimate Europe and Beyond, features multiple stops in Spain, Morocco, Portugal, Denmark, Latvia, Germany, Iceland, Newfoundland, New York, and the Bahamas.

 

Onboard the Serenade of the Seas, guests can enjoy 12 dining options, multiple bars and lounges, three swimming pools, a rock climbing wall, a mini-golf course, and a basketball court. The main dining room offers "world-class" cuisine, while the Windjammer Cafe serves global dishes and American favorites.

 

For those seeking relaxation, the Vitality at Sea Spa provides a range of treatments. Fitness enthusiasts can stay active in the state-of-the-art fitness center, ensuring they don't miss a workout during their voyage.

 

Overall, this ultimate world cruise combines luxury, adventure, and the opportunity to explore some of the most iconic landmarks across the globe.
