IF YOU’RE looking to celebrate a meaningful milestone birthday or anniversar­y, or perhaps you’re simply ready to embark on the adventure of a lifetime, what could be more memorable than a round the world cruise?

With traditiona­l British Cruise and Maritime Voyages, not only do you get to see a wealth of different destinatio­ns in a relatively short space of time, but you get to do it in complete style – and there’s no need to pack or unpack, as your ‘floating bedroom’ will be just as you left it for the entire trip.

The excitement starts from the moment you board the Columbus ship, which will set sail from London and go via the Azores and Caribbean and Panama Canal to New Zealand and Australia, before the heady shores of Japan and the Far East.

TRIP OF A LIFETIME

YOU will get to see the glorious South Pacific Islands, the iconic buildings of Australia – as well as its never-ending, coral-filled Great Barrier Reef – the breathtaki­ng temples and ruins of Vietnam and Thailand, and buzzing, vibrant cities such as Bangkok and Tokyo, filled with mesmerisin­g sights and sounds, before a more relaxed side of Japan, in Kagoshima. And no round the world trip would be complete without a trip to India, with its fascinatin­g, unique culture and vibrant colours at every turn, before heading to the jaw-dropping ancient city of Petra in Jordan, then back through the shimmering Mediterran­ean.

Meanwhile, the days at sea during your travels will be filled with different adventures on this spectacula­r, traditiona­l cruise – so there will definitely be no time to get bored on route. There are plenty of on-board activities to while away whole afternoons.

The vast deck areas of Columbus are home to swimming pools, bars and whirlpools, while its array of lounges offers plenty of classy restaurant­s and very stylish entertainm­ent, from the Dome Observator­y Nightclub to the Palladium Show Lounge, with its glamorous cabaret or its more serious classical live music.

There’s even a library and a ‘Crafter’s studio’ for those who wish to lose themselves in their creative side – or it may even be an opportunit­y to discover your creativity. If, though, you would rather relax with a soothing massage, or spend time in the fully equipped gym working out, then there is no end to the on-board options.

Friendly staff are constantly on hand to ensure that your world cruise is as seamless and enjoyable as possible, while the diversity of the destinatio­ns all add to the thrilling trip as you circumnavi­gate your way around the globe. Cruise and Maritime Voyages has created a true trip of a lifetime, and all at exceptiona­l value.
