What will be the next chapter?



So, after we decided to wave off the 2026 World Cruise, we planned out own World Voyage....  The first decision was easy, still get on the Volendam on 7 September 2025 and stay on until the end of the 45-day Legendary Mediterranean Voyage which ends 21 November.  We decided from there we would do the South America season on the Oosterdam.  Since it will have already departed on the 17th of November, we will fly from Newark to Lima, Peru on the 21st and do some cool stuff (Machu Picchu) until the Oosterdam arrives on the 27th.  Then we are off and running, lots of South America, including 3 trips through Antarctica. That takes us to 8 April where we will head home.   Just a hint, it will be 252 days in Asia for the entire 2026-2027 Asia season!  More later…
