Since the advent of world cruises in the 1920s by Cunard’s RMS Laconia, many people have circumnavigated the globe at a leisurely pace. Typically these voyages begin in Fort Lauderdale, New York or Southampton and proceed westward. Routes vary, either travelling through the Caribbean, then into the Pacific Ocean through the Panama Canal, or around Cape Horn.
From there ships usually make their way to Hawaii, the islands of the South Pacific, Australia, New Zealand, then northward to Hong Kong, South East Asia and India. More…
