If you’ve got a few hundred days at your disposal and want to see as much of the world as possible without the hassle of multiple itineraries and agents, embark on a world cruise.
Amsterdam
The 128-day Grand World Voyage on board the midsize Amsterdam is a round trip leaving from Fort Lauderdale that takes you to far-flung destinations including the Antarctic, Easter Island and Tonga. The views of the Chilean fjords or mist-draped mountains of Sri Lanka are breathtaking.
