This appears to be pieced together from lots of scrap footage, all silent (even though the title card says there's a narrative?) and all about cruising. Although the title says it's all around the world, this reel goes around North America, and goes briefly into Latin America. They stop in Cuba, Miami, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland and then Victoria. Some cruise ship activities are shown, (it all looks somewhat boring) and some shots of the stops mentioned are shown as well. Film ends on a title card promising we're going to the Orient. Cheaters!
