Equator Crossing
One of the most highly sought-after experiences is that of crossing the equator. Those who can say they’ve sailed through the middle of the Earth hold special bragging rights and have a spectacular story to tell when they return home. As you approach the equator, you enter King Neptune’s territory. It’s here your mettle is tested to deem if you’re worthy of entering his realm. At least, that’s the storyline for the Equator Crossing ceremony. Every initiation differs from one expedition to the next, but there’s a thread that runs through. Guests and crew partake together in a pageant to mark the auspicious moment of crossing the equator line.
