We have several favourite cruise-bys, and some itineraries are richer for scenic cruising than others. Alaska, Norway and New Zealand all offer stunning scenic cruising, with national parks and inlets and bays. Transiting the Panama and Suez Canals are also unique experiences, and are often a bucket-list item for many maritime enthusiasts.

What are the best sights on a scenic cruise?

A scenic cruise is one with more noteable sights to spot from on deck, as opposed to itineraries with port calls for on-shore exploration. Almost every cruise itinerary offers scenic cruising in some measure, but some destinations, such as Norway or Alaska, are particularly rich in scenery for you to view while on board. Look out for 'cruise-by' ports in your itinerary for any places of note.

 What is a scenic cruise?

This will depend a lot on your itinerary: a trip through the Panama Canal for example will be much warmer than an Alaska itinerary! If you plan to spend lots of time on deck watching the sights, layers and waterproofs are recommended for most destinations, and especially for cruises during the colder months. Wrap up warm in winter, and protect yourself from the summer sun with sunscreen and hat. Sunglasses (and binoculars) are a wise addition all year round, as you scan the skies and clifftops for wildlife, lighthouses and medieval castles. Lastly, a Cunard cruise wouldn't be complete without a Gala Evening or two, so bring your best dress or suit and be ready to dance the night away.

FAQs about scenic cruising

The Landscape between Carcross and Skagway in Alaska and Canada

Nordlichter über schneebedeckten Bergen und der Stadt Narvik, Norwegen

Northern lights above snow covered mountains and the town of Narvik, Norway

Your dream voyage could start today.

The stunning Aurlandsfjord is one of the most picturesque fjords in the world. Glide over mirror-like water between towering green hills for ten beautiful miles, before docking in tiny villages for a day of exploration.

The crown jewel in our Alaska season, Glacier Bay National Park, is sure to take your breath away. See icy-blue glaciers calving and spot Alaskan wildlife in the sea and air, all from the decks of Queen Elizabeth.

Protected nature surrounding Gatun Lake, a freshwater artificial lake to the south of Colon, Panama. It forms a major part of the Panama Canal

A full transit of the Panama Canal lets you see this incredible waterway in the best possible way. Pass through the locks at either side of Gatun Lake and slowly rise to - and drop from - 26 meters above sea level, in an incredible feat of engineering.

A coastal view of Cape Horn in Chile, featuring sharp, dramatic rock formations and steep cliffs emerging directly from choppy blue waters. In the background, rolling, barren hills under a pale blue sky complete the windswept landscape.

Make the fabled rounding of the very tip of South America as you pass Cape Horn, located on the desolate Isla Hornos at the southern end of the Tierra del Fuego archipelago in Chile.

As pioneers of the World Voyage, we certainly think so! Exploring the world by ship is unlike any other mode of travel, giving you access to sights and wonders that flying or travelling by road cannot offer. Cruising also gives you the luxury of going to sleep only to wake up in your next destination; no connections or weary travelling required. If you travel on a Full World Voyage, you will be sailing roundtrip; with no flights, your luggage allowance is as large as you need it to be (as long as each item is below 23kg). And speaking of luggage, perhaps one of our favourite things about cruising is that you can see dozens of destinations and only unpack once for your entire voyage! Plus, with Cunard, you have access to additional Full World Voyage benefits on selected cruises, and everything else that makes a Cunard voyage so special, including White Star Service, fine dining, world-class entertainment and a world of wellness at sea.

Are world cruises worth it?

A world cruise will require several documents, including visa, vaccination certificates and insurance, plus a versatile suitcase with everything you might need. Fortunately, we have a&nbsp;<a title="Preparing for your world cruise" href="https://www.cunard.com/en-gb/cruise-destinations/world-voyage/preparing-for-a-world-cruise">handy online guide</a>&nbsp;to help you through your preparations.

How can I prepare for a world cruise?

At the time of writing, a Full World Voyage with Cunard will last 107-116 nights, as your Cunard Queen takes a full circumnavigation of the globe from Southampton, New York or Hamburg. However, we also offer World Voyage sectors, which are smaller ‘pieces’ of a Full World Voyage, so you can join your ship for a shorter journey. For example, join Queen Mary 2 in Singapore and disembark in Fremantle, or join Queen Anne in San Francisco and disembark in Hong Kong.&nbsp;View all World Voyages currently on sale&nbsp;to find an itinerary to suit your schedule.

How long is a world cruise?

Full World Voyages with Cunard are up to three months in length, and at the time of writing cost as little as £9,999 per person for a Britannia Inside stateroom. Aside from Full World Voyages, we also have World Voyage sectors, pieces of a full world cruise sold individually, so you can sail on a shorter holiday with a lower price.&nbsp;&nbsp;View all Full World Voyages and sectors currently on sale&nbsp;for current prices.
Prices change frequently and will vary on the cruise, your stateroom grade, and whether you choose our Early Saver, Late Saver or Cunard Fare. Early and Late Savers are restricted to certain booking periods but will save you on cost, whereas the Cunard Fare gives you several valuable booking benefits. You can learn more about our different fare types and their benefits on&nbsp;<a title="Cunard's fares" href="https://www.cunard.com/en-gb/the-cunard-experience/our-fares">our fares page</a>.
Whatever you decide, your cruise fare includes dining in your stateroom restaurant, entertainment and activities, plus our daily Afternoon Tea and use of our gym facilities, pools, and children’s clubs. You can see the full list of inclusions, and items/experiences not included, on our&nbsp;<a title="What's included in your cruise" href="https://www.cunard.com/en-gb/the-cunard-experience/whats-included">'What's included' webpage</a>.

How much does a world cruise cost?

Some incredible destinations to visit on a world cruise include the Norwegian fjords, New Zealand's Fiordland, the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, The Whitsunday Islands, ancient Petra in Jordan, the Caribbean and South-East Asia. Check our World Voyage itineraries for more exciting destinations.

What are the best places to visit on a world cruise?

A World Voyage (the Cunard version of a world cruise) is one that calls at several continents, offering guests the opportunity to explore a variety of ports in a wealth of countries. Our World Voyages can be experienced in their entirety, but can also be booked as smaller &quot;sectors&quot;, so you can choose a voyage that can span either weeks or months at a time.

What is a World Voyage (world cruise)?

There is no currency that will be universally accepted on a world cruise or world cruise sector: even within the same continent, currencies can vary from country to country. If you don't want to travel with multiple currency types, or continually withdraw currency in the ports you call at, you could register for a prepaid debit card which would allow you to upload funds in your native currency and pay in the local currency of each country you visit (where such cards are accepted).
While you are on board, the currency will be US Dollars.

What is the currency on a world cruise?

Your World Voyage (world cruise) or world cruise sector itinerary will take into account local weather conditions in the ports you're due to call at, timing your voyage to coincide when temperatures and conditions are at their peak for exploring. That said, it never hurts to prepare for all eventualities. The weather can be changeable in parts of Europe, while Asia can be extremely hot and humid, depending on the season. It's best to be prepared for everything, from intense sun to rain!

What is the weather like on a world cruise?

Whether you are embarking on a full world cruise or a shorter world cruise sector, you're likely to hear a variety of languages spoken, from Spanish and Arabic to Japanese and Cantonese, depending on where in the world you call. You'll find some level of English is spoken in most ports you call at, and your ship's crew will primarily converse with you in English on board too.

What languages are spoken on a world cruise?

On a world cruise or world cruise sector, the ship will become your home for several weeks or even months, so it's vital to pack a variety of clothing options for both good and bad weather, as well as daytimes exploring and evenings on board.
Outfits for formal evenings on your ship are a must, as are a couple of pairs of sturdy and comfortable walking shoes. Swimwear and flip flops will ensure you're able to make full use of your ship's pools and spa, plus any beaches you call at on your voyage. A waterproof coat will keep you warm and dry if the weather takes a turn for the worse, while cardigans and shirts are perfect for layering over T-shirts and dresses when you need a lighter cover-up.

What should I pack for a world cruise?

This will depend on your nationality and which ports you call at, but the likelihood is you will need to apply for some visas if you're embarking on a world cruise or world cruise sector. Visa requirements differ from country to country, even within the same continent, and in some countries, those visiting on a cruise ship may need a different visa to those entering the country for longer periods by land or air.&nbsp;It's best to list out the ports of call included in your itinerary in order and then spend a little time researching the visa stipulations of each.
Be aware that on top of visas, some countries may also require you to have certain vaccinations, so it's best to look into this also. Seek advice from your travel agent or a doctor if you are unsure.
