I looked at the 2011 World Cruise itinerary...

...not wowed.

Not that many new overnights. At least Singapore should have been an overnight. Having spent a couple of overnights in Colombo, I don't know why that made the list. How about in Europe, just Bordeaux? As for new ports, there don't seem to be many. There are so many Pacific Islands that Regent never seems to stop at. All they really have is Tonga and Christmas Island (along with normal stops in Hawaiian and Society Islands and Bali). How about Samoa, the Caroline Islands, Cook Islands, Marianas Islands, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, New Caledonia, or the Solomon Islands. There are plenty of World War II battle sites that would be quite interesting.

Still, I would love to take the cruise. If New Zealand, Australia, China, and the Red Sea ports are big draws year after year, then that probably explains Regent's scheduling them. I like to think I might be able to take the South America cruise in 2011; World Cruise will have to wait. ;)
