Royal Caribbean's Ultimate World Cruise Is the Longest One Ever, Will Last 274 Nights

Described as the world cruise of world cruises by Michael Bayley, Royal Caribbean’s CEO, the lengthy voyage will take place onboard the Serenade of the Seas, one of the favorites in the fleet. The cruise will include more than 65 countries and 11 great wonders of the world, boasting of being the longest and most comprehensive one available on the market.

With Miami as the starting and ending point of the epic journey, visitors will get to see Casablanca, Morocco, Greenland, Shimizu, Japan (the gateway to Mount Fuji), Peru’s Machu Picchu, the Taj Mahal in India, to name just a few of the highlights of the trip.

This ultimate vacation will be an adventure in style, as guests will experience a world-class service onboard Serenade, a 964 ft (294 m)-long vessel with 12 passenger decks, nine elevators for passengers, and a capacity of 2,490 guests and 891 crew members. It features a theater, pool, spa, and a rock-climbing wall, to name just a few of its amenities.

While bookings have already been opened for the Ultimate World Cruise, they’re exclusively available to Royal Caribbean’s Crown & Anchor Society Diamond status members and above until October 26th. After that, anyone can book a sit on the cruise by calling Royal Caribbean’s dedicated line (you’ll find more information in the press release below the article). Prices start at $61,000 per guest.

Royal Caribbean’s Ultimate World Cruise is scheduled to kick off on December 10, 2023, and will end on September 10, 2024. Even though the cruise line company has been around for more than 50 years, having itineraries in over 70 countries around the world, this one is indeed going to be the ultimate one in terms of duration and number of destinations included.
