The Longitudinal Cruise

Filed under: Journeys, Water

I love this idea, the Norwegian Coastal Voyage has introduced a 67-day Longitudinal Wold Cruise that goes from pole to pole. Guests board the 318-passenger MS Fram, begin their adventure in Iceland on September 18, chase the fall foliage down the coast through October and head for the Equator and Spring just as colder temperatures take over.

Overall the 17-country, four-continent expedition takes in 44 ports of call and offers 102 optional shore excursions. Optional shore trips include a bicycle tour of Nova Scotia's rugged coastline; lunch with an astronaut at Kennedy Space Center; cave tubing in Belize; dolphin encounters; tour of a banana processing plant and a visit to Chilean ghost town. The ship also has an Internet café, a large glass-enclosed observation salon , restaurant with ocean views, wellness center with saunas, work-out room and two glass-screened heated outdoor whirlpools. Full cruise rates are $10,999 to $39,999 per person, double; with segments from 8 to 52 nights offered at prices of $2,499 to $25,599.
