A World Cruise?  I would choose Cunard, of course.
They have the experience.

The desire to discover what lies beyond the horizon has been a part of the human psyche since time immemorial. But it wasn’t until 1519 when Ferdinand Magellan found a passage to the Pacific that a global circumnavigation became more than a glint in the adventurer’s eye. And not until 1922 when Cunard’s Laconia made the first passenger circumnavigation that adventurous travellers could follow in Magellan’s wake.

Advancing civilization since 1840

 

It was a more civilized era, the Golden Age of Ocean Travel. Crossing the ocean was a grand event unto itself, the very embodiment of sophistication and privilege. And travelling Cunard was what one naturally chose for such a voyage. Cunard's glorious ocean liners were floating palaces of art deco splendour and Edwardian excess, surrounding guests with every comfort and elegance.  They attracted the greatest personalities of the day, from world leaders to movie stars, who sipped champagne at festive black-tie soirees and strolled along graceful promenades attired in their finest apparel.  It was the quintessence of luxury travel, and getting there was truly half the fun. 

EXPLORATION OF DISTANT HORIZONS

The best thing about a World Cruise is the sheer diversity. To be sipping margaritas on a beach in Puerto Vallarta, then shopping along the waterfront in Auckland, followed by wandering ancient alleyways in Shanghai, watching children play at a park in Mumbai, riding a camel in the Arabian desert near Dubai and so on. Not to mention the landmarks you will witness firsthand – the Panama Canal, the Great Barrier Reef, the Egyptian pyramids, the Athens Acropolis and much ore. And then there is your elegant host for this sensational sailing - Queen Victoria.
