bob brown Posted August 31, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Besides full world cruises, which are usually broken up into several segments that can be booked individually... I am wondering what the longest 'segment' happens to be...where everyone must sail the entirety? (In terms of days, not necessarily distance)....

CruiserBruce Posted August 31, 2018 #2 Share Posted August 31, 2018 There are trans Pacific routes that are 24-28 days. No breaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kartgv Posted August 31, 2018 #3 Share Posted August 31, 2018 There are lots of choices: Just go to one of the big online websites, do a search without entering a destination, and pick their longest 'number of days' option for a full list. It won't necessarily show you only those with one boarding and departure port, so you'd have to look at some of them. I know of several 28+ day ones - round-trip between Los Angeles and the South Pacific, plus some that circumnavigate Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul929207 Posted September 1, 2018 #5 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Princess used to offer a 32 day cruise from Cape Town to London. It could not be bought in segments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted September 1, 2018 #6 Share Posted September 1, 2018 There are around the world cruises But those are typically also sold in segments, and the OP excluded cruise sold in segments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob brown Posted September 1, 2018 Author #7 Share Posted September 1, 2018 The longest I have done was a 32 day NWP from Seward to New York...everyone on board was booked for the entire cruise. But I assume there are some considerably longer...just curious about where....where would there be sufficient interest to make it successful, without breaking it down into shorter segments....

xriva Posted September 1, 2018 #8 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Look at freighter cruises. It can take 30+ days just for a Transatlantic. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimnbigd Posted September 1, 2018 #9 Share Posted September 1, 2018 My brother-in-law was in the Navy. Everyone on the ship had to sail the entirety for several months at a time. Does that count? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted September 1, 2018 #10 Share Posted September 1, 2018 The longest I have seen without being broken into segments was 42 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that count? :confused: Right - you couldn’t opt for just the Barcelona to Naples segment of a six month Norfolk-to-Norfolk Med deployment.

Heidi13 Posted September 1, 2018 #14 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Although called a WC, in January 2018 Viking Sun departed L/A bound for London, without any segments. Everyone boarding in L/A had signed up for the full (about) 118 nights. We have signed up for a virtual duplication departing Jan 2020 L/A to London, which is 119 nights and no segments.

fishywood Posted September 1, 2018 #15 Share Posted September 1, 2018 In 2017 Princess had a Circle South America cruise booked as either 80 days round trip from Sydney or 72 days round trip Auckland but otherwise no shorter segments sold. HAL has a 51 day South Pacific cruise in October 2019. HAL has also offered 50+ night round trip Ft Lauderdale to the Med cruises, but it varied by year whether segments were offered or not. Same thing on various lines' Circle South America cruises from the USA; sometimes when the full circle (somewhere around 55 to 70 days) goes on sale it sells out completely, thus segments never get offered even though they were originally part of the plan.

Rare MicCanberra Posted September 1, 2018 #16 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Which and where was that? It was Sydney to Dubai via southern Australia and then Asia and the sub continent. Didn't appear to be broken down by any legs (i.e out of Perth, Singapore or KL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted September 1, 2018 #17 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Princess also do a 35 night circle south pacific islands out of Sydney nearly every year, it takes in new Caledonia, Vanuatu, Solomon Islands, Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, Hawaii, Tahiti, Pitcairn, NZ and back.

Bizmark'sMom Posted September 1, 2018 #18 Share Posted September 1, 2018 24 days with Lindblad, exploring Western Greenland and the Canadian arctic. We only stopped at 4 towns on the entire trip. The sun never set - which was very weird - and it was simply amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Viking's website...that is the Viking Sun departure on 4 Jan 2020, and they do break it down to segments...at least to Sydney...I didn't look any further.

Rare MicCanberra Posted September 2, 2018 #21 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Noah's Ark was about six months, IIRC. I thought it was 40 nights.:confused: I wouldn't want to do it anyway, it was all bad weather, no ports of call and the smell aboard must have been terrible.

GUT2407 Posted September 2, 2018 #22 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I’m doing a 35 day round trip Sydney-Hawaii-Sydneynext year. I think it’s sold as 31 day’s Brisbane-Hawaii-Auckland as it’s shortest option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pretty certain that cruise was split into two segments as it was possible to book it finishing or starting in Buenos Aires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
