   AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS
   Cruising around the globe is the world's ultimate travel experience that only a few people have ever
   experienced and a Fred. Olsen World Cruise is not just any holiday experience – it is a once-in-a-lifetime
   adventure. This route is inspired by the journey of Phileas Fogg from the famous Jules Verne novel
   “Around the World in Eighty Days” – and the scheduling of this cruise also marks the 150 year
   anniversary of when the novel was published (1873). Visit destinations that were also visited
   by Phileas Fogg, including Brindisi, Mumbai, Shanghai and San Francisco.
   UNCOVER EGYPT'S ANCIENT SITES
   Egypt, the link between Africa and the Middle East, dates back to the time of the pharaohs.
   Millennia-old monuments sit along the imposing Nile River Valley. Delve into the history
   of Ancient Egypt and rediscover the tomb of Tutankhamun 100 years after the tomb was
   opened by British archaeologist Howard Carter and discover the Valley of the Kings, the
   country is a must for lovers of ancient history and has a welcoming, story-loving people.
   IMMERSE YOURSELF IN CULTURE IN INDIA
   From the imposing peaks of the Himalayan peaks to sublime Indian Ocean coastline,
   India is a vast Asian country with a diverse terrain and a history that goes back 5,000
   years. Here, understand the Hindu culture and traditions, experience bustling Mumbai
   through the work of the local Dabbawalas and visit the world-renowned Taj Mahal××.
   DISCOVER PARADISE IN HAWAII
   Glorious Hawaii beckons, with three islands awaiting discovery. Take in iconic sights
   such as Oahu’s Diamond Head, Hanauma Bay and the emotive Pearl Harbour Memorial;

   Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea.
