My uncle has one he bought new more than 25 years ago. He has more modern
bikes, but claims the voyager is the most comfortable bike he has ever
owned. He still uses it for loaded touring and rain rides.

It is spec'd exactly like like my 1972 World Voyageur that was
imported by Schwinn. The drop outs on mine are Suntour. I think the
"World" name was dropped a couple of years later.

The World Voyager was only produced one year. It sold in 1973 give or
take a few months. The Schwinn Voyageur II was created so the price
could be raised with the hopes that some of the people looking at the
Voyageurs would purchase a Paramount instead. The World Voyageur and the
Schwinn Voyageur II are almost identical. The World was made in frame
sizes 21" and 23" and came in blue, orange or yellow. The Voyageur II
version came in 23" and 25" frames and came in red and silver.

This website can help clear up some of the mystery.

btw - I have an orange World Voyageur AND a blue World Voyageur!
