Royal Caribbean is offering a 274 night voyage that will hit all 7 continents. rates start at $61K.

They're dubbing it the "Ultimate World Cruise," and it's easy to see why: Royal Caribbean International on Wednesday announced that in late 2023 its Serenade of the Seas ship will set off on a 274-night voyage that will hit more than 150 destinations in 65 countries and get to all seven continents. Among those destinations are some of the biggies, reports USA Today, like Machu Picchu in Peru and the Taj Mahal in India. You'll also hit the Great Wall of China, Petra in Jordan, Antarctica, the Great Barrier Reef, the Great Pyramid of Giza, and the Colosseum in Rome.

It's not cheap: Per-person rates start at $60,999, which doesn't include taxes and fees. The cruise departs Miami on Dec. 10, 2023, and returns to the same port on Sept. 10.

...to practically guarantee that you get in on the action for at least one shipboard disease outbreak. By hitting so many different destinations, you might even get to experience two or three!

When I cruise, which I've done all of two times so far in my life, I want at least a window to get sunlight, prefer a balcony to sit outside when it's nice.

Oh, and not all cruises end up in people getting sick.

for half of a shared cabin.

I travel solo, which puts a huge cramp on my cruising.
