World Cruises - Tips on What You Need to Know

By iCruiseApp Travel & Tours2 min read

Before sailing on a world cruise consider these iCruiseApp insider tips to better plan for success!

World Cruises are longer-term sailings (3 months to 245 days) and typically span across multiple continents, countries, and exotic ports. They may be broken into different segments and represent a considerable commitment in terms of both time and money. The average cost of a world cruise can range from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Set sail on an epic world cruise with a cruise line such as Viking, Oceana, Silversea, and Princess. These extended cruise itineraries give you a tour of the globe while allowing you to collect a world of countless stories along the way.

Finally, here are few iCruiseApp tips if you are interested in taking a World Cruise:

  • Choose your cabin wisely. If you know smaller rooms make you claustrophobic—then opt for a suite. If a balcony is important, then choose a balcony.

  • Make sure you research, know and apply for all the Visas you will need for your passport to go ashore. NOTE: Each passport must be valid for at least six (6) months after your final destination.

  • Pack appropriately—but do not overpack. All cruise lines offer laundry service, and you may experience many different climates.

  • Keep cash on hand to take ashore; trying to exchange for each currency will be really hard to manage.

  • Enjoy sea days. You will spend a lot of time navigating the seas. Consider bringing some form of entertainment such as an e-reader, laptop, or even a gaming console. Make sure the cruise line throws in free Wi-Fi!

  • Notify your credit card companies of the locations you will be visiting and dates. This will save you a lot of headaches.

  • If you’re taking a mobile phone, call your provider to see if they have a different plan that will not charge you for international roaming. These fees can add up fast! P.S. Don’t forget to bring your charger and international adapters.

  • Plan your port excursions ahead of time. Although the cruise line may offer some free excursions, you may want to book different experiences.
