Luxury cruise expert Mundy Cruising has launched an extraordinary programme, The Ultimate Luxury Cruise, which combines iconic destinations, amazing travel experiences and superlative accommodations to create a 105-day journey, departing Tokyo on 14th April 2025 and finishing in Dubrovnik on 26th July 2025.

Customer research at the top end of the market by Mundy Cruising has revealed a range of travel trends and priorities for its discerning client base, including longer trips, slow travel, iconic experiences, bucket list destinations and a desire to return to gentler (and arguably Pre-Covid) times. 

Above all, these would-be travellers have stressed how important it is that these key needs are fulfilled in the most exclusive and luxurious way possible. Or, as one respondent answered in the research, “It ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it”.

“I remember that song from over 40 years ago,” said Edwina Lonsdale, Managing Director of Mundy Cruising. “And, as the leaders in luxury cruising in the UK, we could hardly disagree. Why not, we thought, create a cruise which allows people to visit some on the best places on the planet, on some of the very best ships, and in the absolutely very best suites available on those ships?”

The journey includes a plethora of bucket list destinations and experiences including Cherry Blossom in Japan, Hot Springs and Snow Monkeys, cruising Glacier Bay National Park, viewing black and brown bears, crossing the Rockies on the magical Rocky Mountaineer train, living the high life in New York, a leisurely transatlantic crossing, voyaging northwards for the Norwegian Fjords, Midnight Sun and North Cape, crossing Europe in style on the magical Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, exploring Venice, cruising the Adriatic coast to Athens, and exploring the Greek Islands and Montenegro on an exclusive 32-guest sailing yacht. 

Every step of the way, each experience offers the ultimate in luxury, combining the top suites on the very best ships in the world, First and Business Class air travel, classic rail journeys and beautiful hotels. 

Alex Loizou, Director of Sales, Marketing and Operations at Mundy Cruising, said: “Our clients are looking to indulge themselves in a gentler way. Covid gave them a sense of urgency, with plenty of items on their 'to do' lists, but despite that urgency, they are not prepared to compromise. In response, we created this amazing journey as an example of the many bespoke travel experiences we take pleasure in curating.”
