Full cruise guests will also receive eight complimentary shore excursions to the Panama Canal’s Gatun Yacht Club and tours to Hilo including Hawaii’s tallest waterfall, Shuri Castle in Okinawa, Ho Chi Minh City, Cochin, Oman, Naples and Ponta Delgada in the Azores.

The following complimentary amenities will also be available to guests who book the full 110-day cruise: one-night, pre-cruise hotel accommodations on the eve of departure and Bon Voyage Event at Palm Beach’s Breakers resort; private-car transfer and baggage handling between local South Florida airports, hotel and/or ship; a $2,000 per suite onboard spending credit (based on double occupancy); commemorative gifts; and a gala farewell event.
