If you have a grand sense of adventure and a generous amount of leisure time, then this is the World Cruise for you September 23 - November 28, 2008. If you are adventurous, but only have a couple of weeks or a month to spare, then this might still be a voyage for you — one you can take in segments. However you choose to experience this journey, you will travel on the MS Fram, the newest, most luxurious expedition cruise ship in the Hurtigruten fleet.

Departing from Reykjavik, Iceland, you will cruise the waters of the Arctic, Atlantic, Caribbean, Pacific, and South Pole, before completing your journey in Ushuaia, the port capital of Tierra del Fuego, in Argentina. Along the way, you will call at some of the most fascinating and picturesque ports in the Northern and Southern hemispheres, and make a passage through the fabled Panama Canal. You will see Nova Scotia and New England at the peak of their autumn foliage, cruise the sublime Chilean fjords in glorious spring weather, and luxuriate for several weeks in warm sunny weather as you sail through the captivating tropics. As you near Antarctica, you will be joined onboard by expert guides, who will provide lectures about this magnificent, unspoiled continent. By the end of the trip, you will have traveled the world from pole to pole.
