He further said, \u201cThese global events beyond our control have necessitated these reroutings but we are pleased to continue to ensure these world cruises retain destination-rich itineraries with incredible stops along the West Africa coast and the Mediterranean.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-lg-6 offset-lg-3\">\n<div class=\"articles-video-new\"><iframe class=\"hide\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-J5_nZ6iUHg?rel=0&amp;controls=1&amp;showinfo=0&amp;modestbranding=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The first World Cruise will embark aboard the Island Princess from North America, providing a 116-day journey that includes two roundtrip options departing from Ft.
