If your bucket list includes a lot of travel, then this may be just the cruise for you.
In 245 days, you can check 51 countries off your list, assuming you have the free time and a good chunk of change.

Of course, such a trip doesn't come cheap. The least expensive stateroom costs £66,990 (about $81446 USD) per person and the most expensive suite is over $200,000.
However, broken down by day, that's only a little over $300 per night, which is pretty average for a high-end hotel. There's just a whole lot of nights in this trip.
They've thought out the whole trip, including each of their eight onboard restaurants having planned a different menu for all 245 days, themed to match the cruise's current location on the map.
Unsurprisingly, the non-millionaire passengers booked on the sold out cruise are mostly retirees.
Viking’s head of sales, Neil Barclay, told _The Guardian:
"It’s a mixture of people. You’ve got your savers, and it's something they have always wanted to do. You’ve got your retirees. For a lot it will be a one-off, ticking the boxes."
Of the 930 passengers booked on this landmark trip, only 54 have signed up for the whole thing.
The rest have decided to enjoy half the cruise before disembarking in Los Angeles. But they'll be replaced with a whole new group that have only booked to travel the second half of the route.
Is this the ultimate bucket list trip or absolute insanity catering only to the elite?
I kind of think it's somewhere in the middle, but I definitely wouldn't say no to the adventure if I could go!
