Special activities and themed events are highlights of a Grand World Voyage

About 50% of our 128-day Grand World Voyage will be sea days. Most people on longer cruises like sea days as they give you a chance to relax between port visits and enjoy the many amenities the ship offers as well as take part in the numerous activities.

A month before the cruise starts, HAL will provide a list of anticipated theme nights, including dressy and formal nights.

This is the activity list we received for the 2024 GWV. In the past, exact dates were listed. Only the month is listed now to allow more flexibility and to deconflict events with changes to port times. Sometimes, a popular entertainer will be onboard, and the ship will avoid scheduling a popular event for the same evening.
Every two weeks, we get an activity and entertainment overview for the next two weeks.   You can find the first one from our 2023 GVW HERE

Here is a video -excerpted from our recent ZOOM meet and greet where I discuss the daily world cruise activities – and then the various theme nights and what you can expect.   The discussion on theme nights starts about 18 minutes in.

Formal Nights have been replaced by “Dressy Nights” on all HAL cruises except Grand Voyages.    We are scheduled to have eight formal nights on this cruise – but some may be combined. – for example, the Zuiderdam Ball and the Captain’s Welcome will probably occur the same evening.

Here is a list of the typical daily activities on a World Cruise

There is a lot to choose from every day to stay busy
 

Coming next – Flying to Fort Lauderdale on New Year’s Eve!

    Hey Pete and Judy. Am looking forward to reading all about this next adventure.
    I was out your way last February when I took the Koningsdam out to Hawaii and then down to French Polynesia and then returning to San Diego.
    Enjoy the trip! Doug Martin, Cape Cod.
