Here at From the Deck Chair, we're always on the lookout for unique itineraries: those voyages that promise a one-of-a kind experience.  It may be to a remote part of the world, or merely just a new twist on an old favorite.  Regardless, these itineraries are for the cruise enthusiast who is an adventurer at heart, but prefers to get there in style.

Silversea's 2012 World Cruise aboard Silver Spirit exemplifies this kind of luxurious adventure perfectly.

Departing Friday, January 6, 2012 from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, this 115-day voyage whisks its fortunate passengers to an unbelievable array of ports.  In fact, they're so numerous we can't list them all here.  Some of the highlights are:

Monday, January 16 - Belem, Brazil
Sunday, January 29 - Jamestown, St. Helena
Wednesday, February 1 - Walvis Bay, Namimbia
Wednesday, February 8 - East London, South Africa
Monday, February 13 - Tolanaro, Madagascar
Saturday, February 25 - Chennai, India
Friday, March 9 - Hong Kong, China
Tuesday, March 13 - Shanghai, China
Sunday, March 25 - Bangkok, Thailand
Thursday, April 12 - Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Saturday, April 21 - Safaga (Luxor), Egypt
Wednesday, April 25 - Suez Canal Transit
Sunday, April 29 - Sorrento, Italy

The voyage comes to a conclusion on Tuesday, May 12 in Monte Carlo.  The full itinerary includes sixteen ports that feature overnight stays, allowing passengers time to venture further inland or simply enjoy the nightlife in these fascinating ports of call.

Understandably, a world cruise isn't for everyone.  They represent a considerable investment of both time and money, and may be out of reach for many for these reasons.  However, a very wise person once said, "no one talks about the year they bought the fridge."  A World Cruise is almost immeasurable; the amount of incredible experiences it offers, both culturally and historically, is astonishing. 

Few investments offer such a generous return.

Full pricing details haven't been released yet, but expect prices to include all the hallmarks the line is best known for: included airfare, gratuities, beverages, and unique, informative lecturers.  Cuisine, service and comfort are not overlooked here.
