World Cruise
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.
Queen Elizabeth 2 has been circling the globe for 25 years. Nobody knows her way around like she does. In 2006, she'll be visiting 42 ports on six continents.
