• The roundtrip sailing from Miami starts at $95,000 per person for the cheapest 300-square-foot suite.

Calling all luxury cruise fans with five months to kill and $95,000 to spend.

Regent Seven Seas Cruises has unveiled its newest 154-night 2026 world cruise, its longest sailing yet.

And if it books anything like the Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings brand's previous four world cruises, this itinerary could sell out in record time.

On January 10, 2026, the Seven Seas Mariner — the cruise line's go-to vessel for its global sailings — will begin this over 39,720-nautical mile journey from Miami to 41 countries across six continents.

Along the way, the up to 696 guests will get to stop at 77 ports — including three new to the brand — and 47 UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

And of the 154 nights, 16 will be overnights in locations like Bora Bora, French Polynesia and Walvis Bay, Namibia.

From Miami, the ship will sail through the Straits of Florida and the Caribbean Sea to head to ports in South America, Central America, and south North America.

This includes stops in Cartagena, Colombia and Acapulco, Mexico.

From there, the Mariner will then sail across the Pacific Ocean — with ports of call in Hawaii and South Pacific islands — before hitting the New Zealand and Australia leg of the journey.

Then, the globetrotters are heading up to Southeast and South Asian destinations like Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam and Mangaluru, India.

And after sailing through the Arabian Sea and Indian Ocean, the floating resort will travel to destinations along the coast of Africa like Walvis Bay, Namibia and Cotonou, Benin ...

... before heading to Portugal and a handful of islands in the Atlantic Ocean.

And finally, after several days of sailing the Atlantic, the ship will dock in Miami, concluding the 154-night journey.

Throughout the trip, travelers will have 60 days at sea with no ports of call.

Luckily these sailing days are evenly distributed throughout the itinerary.

The longest the Mariner will spend at sea with no land in sight is five days on the journey from Cabo San Lucas, Mexico to Hilo, Hawaii.

During these quiet days, travelers can spend their time exploring the ultra-luxury floating resort.

The ship has four restaurants for guests craving a steakhouse, French, Italian, or "customizable" dinner.

There are also four bars and lounges …

… and all the typical cruise ship amenities like a spa, gym, and nighttime entertainment.

And let's not forget the pool deck, bocce court, putting green, golf nets, and card room that will likely be heavily used during days at sea.

But a journey around the world on a luxury ship won't come cheap.

Fares start at $95,000 per person for the approximately 300-square-foot deluxe veranda suite. This suite can accommodate up to three travelers.

This price then jumps to $266,500 per person for the most luxurious master suite, a roughly 2,000-square-foot two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom getaway.

This floating penthouse can sleep up to five guests.

But you can't go wrong with any of the ship's accommodations.

No need to fear a five-month sailing inside a stuffy interior stateroom.

All of the ship’s accommodations are suites with balconies and large marble-lined bathrooms. It is a luxury ship, after all.

This price tag is heftier than the world cruise itineraries offered by MSC and Royal Caribbean but Regent Seven Seas seems confident it'll see plenty of bookings.

The cruise company is expecting "unprecedented interest" when reservations open on March 22, Andrea DeMarco, president of the luxury cruise line, told Insider in a statement.

And she has good reason to believe this.

Regent Seven Seas Cruises has been seeing tremendous success with its global itineraries: Its previous four world cruises all sold out in "record time" as travelers continue flocking to extended cruises.
