It’s no secret that cruising is a popular vacation option. But while cruising for a week or two may sound nice, do you think you’d be able to last in a tiny cruise cabin for nine months? Well, Royal Caribbean is giving you the chance to find out.
The cruise line just announced details for what they are calling the “Ultimate World Cruise,” which they describe as the "the world cruise of world cruises.” It will be on their Serenade of the Sea ship, and last 274 days, departing in 2023.
The cruise, which they say is the “longest and most comprehensive” world cruise, will leave Miami on December 10th, 2023, and visit all seven continents, stopping at over 150 destinations in 65 countries, before returning to Mami September 10th, 2024. Of the cruise destinations, 57 are new to Royal Caribbean. If nine months is too long, passengers can book just portions of the cruise, with travelers having options of four different segments.
If the whole package sounds good to you, you better be ready to open your wallet, with rates for the full cruise starting at $60,999 per person plus taxes and fees. Booking is currently open for Royal Caribbean’s Crown & Anchor Society Diamond status members, with the general public getting a crack at spots starting October 27th.
