TIME TO EXPLORE
OR PLAN further ahead and spend the first weeks of 2021 on a classic 108-night complete western circumnavigation of the globe aboard the majestic Queen Victoria, calling at 33 ports in 22 countries. Heading across the Atlantic, she’ll transport you to Bermuda, Florida, Jamaica and Costa Rica before transiting the Panama Canal for stops in Guatemala, Cabo San Lucas, Mexico and an overnight stay in San Francisco.
An overnight stay in Honolulu means you’ll have plenty of time to explore before sitting sail for New Zealand via Samoa and Fiji. A two-day call in Sydney is followed by Brisbane, the Whitsunday Islands and Darwin, before Queen Victoria heads north to discover Southeast Asia with visits to Bali, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and Sri Lanka.
Sailing south in the Indian Ocean, you’ll be transported to Mauritius, Reunion, South Africa, Namibia and Gran Canaria before arriving back in the UK at the end of April, sated with magical memories.
