THE WORLD 2026 JOURNEY
2026 JOURNEY
A YEAR OF EXPANSIVE NEW HORIZONS
Our 2026 Journey may be the most extraordinary adventure The World has ever seen. With three extensive expeditions and nearly 90 destinations across 20 countries and six continents, we’ll be immersed in the beauty, challenge, discovery, and profound awe that this breathtaking planet has to offer.
The year begins in Tasmania, Australia. We’ll explore Hobart before making our way through dynamic Melbourne, Sydney, and the coast of Australia’s eastern shores. The rest of January takes us to New Zealand’s Wellington, Akaroa, Timaru, and Port Chalmers. January also offers an inspiring Antarctic SemiCircumnavigation Expedition, where the majestic wilderness of the Antarctic continent will unfold before us.
February brings us to the southern tip of South America with stops in Ushuaia, Argentina, and the expansive fjords of Chile. In March, the Ship follows the Chilean coast, experiencing Valparaíso and Robinson Crusoe Island before heading toward the mystical Easter Island. The Pitcairn and Pacific Islands Expedition reveals secluded Pacific paradises.
In April, we will visit French Polynesia, including Papeete, Mo‘orea, Bora Bora, and beyond. An exclusive expedition through the Line Islands concludes this portion of the Journey.
The adventure continues in May with a visit to the Hawaiian Islands before reaching California. We will stop in San Diego, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, followed by picturesque Astoria, Oregon.
June and July introduce the wild beauty of British Columbia and Alaska. Residents will witness the grandeur of Canada’s fjords, venture into Vancouver and Seattle, and sail through Alaska’s dramatic icy landscapes, from Icy Strait Point to Hubbard Glacier. Stops include Petersburg, Kodiak, and the Aleutian Islands.
In September, we’ll travel to East Asia, where we’ll dock in Japan and South Korea. This monthlong exploration includes visits to Tokyo, Hiroshima, and Busan, showcasing a unique blend of modernity and tradition. In October, our Residents will explore the cultural riches of China, with extended stays in Beijing and Shanghai, plus a journey to Hong Kong. We’ll then wind through Taiwan and into the Philippines.
Through November and December, we’ll make our way through Southeast Asia. Stops in Vietnam, Malaysia, and Brunei highlight the region’s cultural diversity and natural wonders. The year concludes in Singapore, where we’ll ring in the New Year and reflect on a year of unforgettable adventures.
