If you’ve ever dreamed of ticking off every bucket-list destination in one go, cocktail in hand, feet up, no airport queues, then luxury cruise by Regent Seven Seas can serve as your ultimate fantasy. Their “world cruise” sails you around the globe in 155 days, with a jaw-dropping ticket worth Rs 2.8 crore at the very top end.
Here’s exactly what you get for that money: the Seven Seas Mariner of Regent Seven Seas has eight decks and 350 luxury suites that can house about 700 guests. It’s scheduled to depart on 10th January, 2026, with up to 431 shore excursions.
Around the world in 155 days
Imagine you’re boarding in Miami, unpacking once, and then just coasting through five months of jaw-dropping ports around the world. The luxury cruise itinerary consists of the ultimate travel bucket list: Mexico’s beaches, Hawaii’s volcanic drama, Bora Bora’s turquoise lagoons, Fiji’s sunsets, New Zealand’s fjords, Australia’s coasts, Bali’s mystique, Vietnam’s bustle, Singapore’s skyline, Sri Lanka’s tea country, India’s spice-laden ports, South Africa’s savannahs, Namibia’s dunes, Portugal’s cobbled streets, and finally Bermuda before circling back to Miami.
On the Indian shores
For Indian travelers, or anyone curious about India, the cruise dips into Kochi, Mangalore, and Goa. That’s Kerala’s spice markets, Mangalore’s cultural mashup, and Goa’s beachy party-meets-Portuguese vibe for a few hours. To be fair, three stops in a country as massive and diverse as India feels like a teaser trailer rather than the whole film. Still, it’s a nice nod to India’s coastal heritage.
What’s included
This is where the cruise flexes with shore excursions, which means you can step off at every port without worrying about hidden charges. Drinks? Bottomless. Food? Michelin-level, across specialty restaurants, at no extra cost. Your minibar? Restocked daily with whatever you fancy. Spa? Unlimited. Wifi? Check. Laundry? Sorted. There’s even a concierge for the regular suites and a personal butler if you upgrade. You’ll also find entertainment, medical service, and commemorative gifts. There’s also a pre-cruise gala event just to get you in the mood.
The price tag
Prices start at a comparatively “humble” $101,099 (about Rs 8.91 lakh), but if you want the penthouse-level experience with your own butler and daily canapés, brace yourself. The top-end suite costs $325,199, which works out to around Rs 2.8 crore, per person. That’s a Mumbai apartment, a luxury car, or about 20 solo trips around the world, take your pick. Currently there’s a waitlist to get on board, but once you’re in, be prepared for an unforgettable once-in-a-lifetime kind of a travel experience.
