111-day voyage around the
world in 2017. True, there are ports to explore, but with a total of 73 days at sea this is a perfect choice for those seeking downtime to catch up on all the books and gym visits they have been putting off. And, of course, they’ll also have plenty of time to snooze, learn to dance and indulge in a spa treatment or ten. The cruise, on the 700-passenger Pacific Princess, is a westbound itinerary from Fort Lauderdale to New Zealand and Australia and back departing January 3. Prices from £14,438 cruise-only.
w BEST FOR NOT GOING AROUND THE WORLD: CRYSTAL CRUISES Crystal Cruises’ 2017 world cruise on Crystal Serenity is a great itinerary but a tad disappointing for anyone wishing to circumnavigate the globe. Despite being billed as a world cruise, it is actually a 94-day voyage around South America and to Antarctica round-trip from Miami – still perfect for clients who fancy a long cruise at the start of the year. Departing on January 10, it is also a great way to see South America as there are just 20 sea days (including in Antarctica as Serenity is not allowed to land passengers there) and overnight stops in ports including Callao in Peru, Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro.

are from £24,748 cruise-only including drinks, gratuities and a meal in both Prego and Silk Road restaurants.
w BEST FOR VALUE: FRED OLSEN CRUISE LINES Spending up to four months on a cruise is never going to be cheap, but it can be good value. Fred Olsen’s 107-night round-the- world voyage on Black Watch, departing January 3, 2017, costs about £108 per person per night for an outside cabin, which includes all meals and entertainment. The cruise is round-trip from Southampton so there are no air fares to pay, and passengers get to experience a multitude of destinations and cultures, from Aruba in the Dutch Caribbean and Bora Bora in French Polynesia to Sydney and Singapore, where there is a three-day call. This sailing is from £11,599 cruise-only for an outside cabin.
