While no longer an exclusive male domain, a golf getaway is still the perfect way to celebrate life's special moments – be it a retirement, a graduation, or a bachelor party – with the men in your life.
About The World
Luxury liner The World – the only residential community at sea – caters to a new generation of golf enthusiasts with state-of-the-art golf voyages, where residents and their guests can travel worldwide and visit upscale country clubs and world-class golf courses around the globe, without leaving the comforts of home.
Golf Voyages
These one-to-three week journeys include all the amenities normally available on the ship – including bars and restaurants, the spa, and the gym – and residents and guests can take advantage of putting greens, a driving range, and a sophisticated golf simulator.
