Initially they just sell the whole cruise but later on segments will become available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zelker Posted January 18, 2021 #11 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Curious how many overnights it does? And how many sea days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like there is no port between New Zealand and Africa, unless I am missing some ports. I actually think it is pretty unique for a WC. The problem is there are only so many ways around the world and after you do a few WC's it impossible to not have many repeats. This one is far different from any in quite a while with concentrations in South Pacific/Australia/lots of aAfrica and yes Europe but even there the ports are different then most HAL WC's. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes there are six ports in Australia including two in Tasmania between NZ and Africa plus two ports in the Mauritius.

Looks like 8 overnights (The half sun and moon symbols). Sea days are usually about 1/2 the cruise so probably sixty something but you can't go around the world without them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Roz Posted January 18, 2021 #18 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I'm probably never going to do a WC, but it's fun to look at the itineraries and imagine what it would be like to take such a wonderful cruise. The 2022 WC has too many ports in Brazil for my taste. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimdee3636 Posted January 18, 2021 #21 Share Posted January 18, 2021 The Zaandam is a really nice ship, but for a world cruise I'd prefer they use a larger one. Relatively speaking, there aren't that many suites/balconies on the Zaandam, and I'm sure the suites will be priced to reflect their scarcity (although despite that, they will probably sell out quickly). 120 or so days is an awfully long time to be in an interior or ocean view cabin. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisemom42 Posted January 18, 2021 #22 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Certainly hits a lot of ports I've not yet visited, and ones that probably make sense to visit via a ship. On the other hand, I'm just not sure how interested I am in some of them! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been pleasantly surprised that sometimes those with low expectations turn out to be quite delightful. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way will you see a bigger ship. The full cruise didn’t sellout on the Amsterdam (with the possible exception of 2020) with 1,300 passengers.

It seems like there is no port between New Zealand and Africa, unless I am missing some ports. I should add that the problem with Asia is that it’s the wrong time of year. The 2017 WC went to Japan, Korea, China etc and we had snow on the Great Wall (which was actually kind of pretty) and temps in the low 20’s in Korea. If you want Asia in a world cruise like environment you are far better off doing the Grand Asia as you visit those countries in October.
