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.

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Formal Nights have been replaced by “Dressy Nights” on all HAL cruises except Grand Voyages.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

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.
Hi Pete and Judy, thanks for doing the “ Inside Cabin “ posts for the 2024 GWV. So sorry Mary and I are not with you. We sure enjoyed the 2023 GWV. Many wonderful memories. Will be following your posts for the next 128 days. Safe travels.
