  • Passengers will venture to six continents and 56 UNESCO World Heritage sites.
  • The 117-night cruise ranges in price from $61,999 to $165,999.
The time is now for luxury cruises: Many luxury cruise lines are catering to the 1% with 100-plus day cruises around the world.
The latest to launch? Regent Seven Seas' World Cruise, set to begin its journey on January 5, 2021. Over the course of 117 nights, the cruise will navigate the globe, checking 56 UNESCO World Heritage sites off its bucket list and hitting every continent, save for Antarctica.
Its four-month journey from Miami to Barcelona doesn't come cheap — the prices currently range from $61,999 to $165,999. It takes place on the Seven Seas Mariner, a recently refurbished ship that's as luxe in details as the journey it promises is adventurous.
