Cakemeister Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 Hello, I know Royal does world cruises on their Silversea subsidiary. But dang that is a lot of money. Has there ever been any kind of discussion about a round-the-world cruise on RCCL? Something more affordable? I would be all over that. Cheers, Cake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melmar02 Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 I've never seen anything that's really that long of an itinerary. Since Royal markets itself as a family line, I think it would be hard to fill a ship for 30 or 60+ days when school schedules would get in the way.

I play "Connect The Ships". Ships reposition all the time and it would take some work and time but you can most definitely put together something that takes you part or all the way around the world. You might need to use partner lines or non-partner lines but hec, it's so much fun!!! Best of all, you get to experience it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 Once in a blue moon Royal will reposition a ship between regions and you can make up your own partial world cruise by booking several cruises in a row. The danger with this approach is when Royal cancels a cruise in the middle. This happened to Mariner guests when she changed regions and came back to America before her amp and introduction into the short cruise market recently. Many guests had booked 3 in a row but then Royal cancelled the cruise in the middle leaving guests to deal with NRD deposits on the book ends. If you are seeking these longer voyages you are better off booking with a line that assembles these cruises into one booking for the duration. Unfortunately other than SilverSea this isn't done in the RCG family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a nice "Connect the ships" itinerary this year on the Jewel, that was cancelled. It was 85 nights with seven back-to-back cruises with six different itineraries. Fly to Barcelona 09-29 Barcelona Mediterranean Venice 12 nights Barcelona, Spain | Nice (Villefranche), France | Florence/Pisa (Livorno), Italy | Rome (Civitavecchia), Italy | Naples (Capri), Italy | Cruising | Venice, Italy | Split, Croatia | Kotor, Montenegro | Cruising | Tarragona, Spain 10-11 Tarragona (Spain) Mediterranean Greek Isles 12 nights Tarragona, Spain | Monte Carlo (Cannes), France | Florence/Pisa (Livorno), Italy | Rome (Civitavecchia), Italy | Sicily (Messina), Italy | Cruising | Ephesus (Kusadasi), Turkey | Mykonos, Greece | Santorini, Greece | Athens (Piraeus), Greece | Cruising | Tarragona, Spain 10-23 Tarragona (Spain) to Rome 10 nights Tarragona, Spain | Valencia, Spain | Palma de Mallorca, Spain | Sete, France | Provence (Marseilles), France | Nice (Villefranche), France | Ajaccio, Corsica | Florence/Pisa (Livorno), Italy | Cruising | Naples (Capri), Italy | Rome (Civitavecchia), Italy 11-02 Rome Holy Land #1 12 nights Rome (Civitavecchia), Italy | Sicily (Messina), Italy | Cruising | Haifa, Israel | Limassol, Cyprus | Rhodes, Greece | Ephesus (Kusadasi), Turkey | Athens (Piraeus), Greece | Cruising | Naples (Capri), Italy | Rome (Civitavecchia), Italy 11-14 Rome Holy Land #2 12 nights 11-26 Rome to Galveston 16 nights $501 <- freaking awesome!

Matt Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 Other than the rare super-repositioning cruises that @twangster mentioned, world cruises are not offered by RC, and I doubt they ever will. In the entire cruise industry, world cruises are more of a rarity and relegated to smaller lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, I wonder how many tickets you would be required to book for a multi-year/decade/lifetime galactic cruise? I mean, if you have kids along the way, do they start charging extra or is that built into the price based on your age at the start of the cruise. How does the solo supplement get applied in this case? The mind hurts at the possibilities!!!! KristiZ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
