World ARC 2026-2027

Join Celeste on this round-the-world adventure taking place over 15 months and covering 26,000 NM. You can join for the full circumnavigation or for the legs and places your are most tempted to explore.

We are looking forward to explore Panama, Galapagos, Marquesasöarna, Bora Bora, Tonga, Fiji, Great Barrier Reef, South Africa , the coast of Brazil and many more places.

Sign up for one or several of the legs below. Or why not for the full circumnavigation.

Organized by World Cruising Club, there will be about 40-50 yachts participating. Following the classic trade winds route, the rally avoids regions of political instability, piracy and storm seasons. World ARC is a mix of cruising in company and free time to explore. World Cruising Club’s dedicated rally team ensure we make the most of our time ashore. The pace keeps the fleet together, enjoying the shore-side activities as a group, while staying with the best weather.

World Cruising Club invests a great deal of time and effort into organizing a comprehensive and varied social schedule of parties, dinners, tours ashore and other fun activities to enhance the adventure and finding the best places to visit.
