​           Three South America voyages will start World Navigator’s new season, beginning on March 22, 2022, from Ushuaia, Argentina. These six- to 13-night voyages offer a delightful contrast of vibrant cities and picturesque beaches, featuring calls at Brazil’s UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Paraty, Fernando do Noronha and Salvador de Bahia. World Navigator then charts her course eastward on April 4 to the tropical island of Tenerife.
 
Iberian and French Wine Cultures and Mediterranean Delights

            Four voyages in April, June and September bring enophiles to immerse in Spanish Andalusian, French Bordeaux, and Portuguese Algarve and Douro wine cultures on seven- to 13-night itineraries. World Navigator combines Casablanca’s (Morocco) excitement with Portugal’s Algarve coast on a seven-night itinerary, departing Tenerife on April 17. The subsequent voyage, also seven nights in length, brings guests up the Guadalquivir River to call at inland Seville, Spain, as well as to Gibraltar, U.K., and Spain’s Costa del Sol.

            World Navigator combines Bordeaux and the Douro Valley on the June 8 and September 19 voyage, the first featuring a course up the Thames, docking at the Tower Bridge in London’s city center, while the second voyage includes a transit through the Kiel Canal. Both voyages include a call at idyllic Honfleur, France, for excursions to Normandy’s beaches and Paris, and because of her small size, World Navigator can dock in Bordeaux’s city center for convenient access to the city and beyond.

            Three voyages of delight follow in May 2022, showcasing chic destinations along the Spanish, French and Italian Rivieras on eight- to 13-night itineraries. The first two voyages turn around at Rome (Civitavecchia), with the May 1 voyage covering all three Mediterranean rivieras.

Ports of call include the Ireland’s Cork, Foynes, Galway, and Kellybegs; Northern Ireland’s Londonderry and Warrenpoint; and Scottish Invergordon (Loch Ness) and Greenock. These voyages also include overnights at Dublin, Ireland; Belfast, Northern Ireland; and Edinburgh (Leith), Scotland.
 
Arctic Expeditions in the Norwegian Fjords, Iceland and Greenland
            From the British Isles, World Navigator continues north to the Norwegian Fjordlands and further to Svalbard, situated midway in between the northern coast of Norway and the North Pole. In Svalbard, World Navigator’s expedition team will find the best locations to safely catch sightings of Artic wildlife such as polar bears, walrus, bearded and ringed seals, Arctic foxes, caribou and some of the world’s largest whales. Depending on weather conditions, guests can kayak and glacier hike and marvel at the Monaco or Smeerenburg Glaciers. Guests on these voyages will also earn their membership among the ranks of the Order of the Blue Nose, as Svalbard is located well north of the Arctic Circle.
 
Baltic Discoveries
            World Navigator will offer two 12-night itineraries that feature the must-see-and-experience Baltic destinations, such as Riga, Latvia; Tallinn, Estonia; Helsinki, Finland; Stockholm, Sweden; and Gdansk, Poland.

The September 7, roundtrip itinerary from Kiel features two nights in St. Petersburg, providing guests three days to explore the local area, as well as an excursion to Moscow, Star City and more.
 
South America Ecoadventures
            To close the season, World Navigator will embark on five voyages, ranging from seven to 12 nights in length, which unveil the authentic cultures and natural grandeur of the Southern Caribbean, Andean cultures and Patagonia. Departing Barbados on October 18, World Navigator will bring guests to the Dutch ABC Islands, Colombia, and Panama, while the subsequent sailing features a bucket-list transit through and an overnight in the Panama Canal to bring guests on ecoadventures in Costa Rica.
