From gazing down atop Cape Town’s Table Mountain, or up at Rio de Janeiro’s iconic statue of Christ the Redeemer, a world cruise is as much a journey of the heart as the mind, with the opportunity to make lasting friendships with your fellow passengers and gain an insight into cultures that are vastly diff erent from our own. You’ll fi nd many sights, sounds and experiences that are unique to travelling by sea, such as gliding beneath San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge or past the graceful arcs of Sydney’s Opera House, and what’s more, you’ll have plenty of time to savour them.
