THE WORLD to visit China in May and June of 2006
The World, the only private residential community at sea
with a continuous worldwide itinerary, offers an unusual vacation opportunity — especially this coming May and
June.
Residents and Guests vacationing in homes aboard can look forward to the marvels of the
enigmatic temples of Hong Kong, the wonders of Shanghai’s Jinamo Tower 88th floor observatory, or Beijing’s Great
Wall.
Here's a sampling of this magnificent itinerary:
Guests vacationing aboard THE WORLD
can choose from several recommended travel dates while in China, which will provide ample time for an extensive
overview of the country, its culture and traditions, including:
Beijing to Nanjing: May 13-24
Those looking to immerse themselves in the ancient art and culture of China may enjoy this
12-day voyage, beginning when the vessel sails from Beijing on May 12 to Nanjing, one of the four ancient capitals
of China. Reputed as a major cultural center attracting intellectuals from around the country, Nanjing was the
seat of poetry during the Tang-Song period and the official imperial examination center for the Jiangnan region
during the Ming and Quing dynasties. En route to Nanjing, the vessel will sail through Qingdao, where Residents
and Guests can embark on a day excursion on May 15, through the scenic Badaguan area. Named after eight famous
passes in China, Badaguan or “Eight Passes” is a quaint town filled with grand trees and flower-draped paths. Interestingly,
the town’s architecture is a melting pot of international influences, including those from Russia, France, Germany,
Spain and Switzerland, resulting in charming villas and majestic temples such as the Buddhist Zhanshan Temple,
which will be visited during the tour. Residents and Guests will conclude their visit with a demonstration of the
beer making process at the Tsingtao Brewery Museum, China’s largest beer brewery.
THE WORLD, the only private residential community at sea
with a continuous worldwide itinerary, offers an unusual vacation opportunity — own a home or rent
a private residence for a unique vacation experience with ambiance much like that
of a private yacht, seaside villa or exclusive country club.
Three styles of accommodations: two and three-bedroom private apartments; one and two-bedroom
studio apartments; and veranda studios are available.
