The 2026 Grand World Voyage aboard the ms Volendam is a 133-day journey around the world that departed roundtrip from Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades) on January 4, 2026.
Rerouted to avoid the Red Sea, the itinerary spans five continents, featuring 51 ports across 23 countries with multiple overnight calls.
Highlights of the itinerary include:
• The Caribbean and South America, including Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, and the Falkland Islands
• A rare four-day Antarctic Experience
• Chilean fjords, Easter Island, and the islands of French Polynesia
• Australia, New Zealand, and Indonesia—including Bali and Komodo Island
• Southeast Asia and East Asia, with extended calls in Singapore, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japan
• A transpacific crossing to Alaska before arriving in Seattle on April 29
• A final journey through the Panama Canal, concluding in Fort Lauderdale on May 17, 2026.
From crossing the Equator (twice) to traversing the International Dateline and sailing the Panama Canal, this voyage offers guests a true circumnavigation filled with immersive cultural experiences and unforgettable scenery.
Seattle marked a meaningful milestone on this global itinerary — both a pause for reflection and a launch point for the voyage’s final chapter. Continue south toward San Diego, Mexico, Central America, and ultimately through the Panama Canal.
