More than a year at sea and 220 ports in the itinerary-this will be the world cruise aboard the Regatta from Explorations by Norwegian. The journey begins in Rome in 2026 and is scheduled for 371 days, with a minimum number of repeated port calls.
Daily Mail calls this voyage the longest continuous cruise with a fixed schedule in the world. According to the publication, as of 7 September 2026, all seats for the first trip have been booked.
A world cruise brings together different regions within a long sea journey. Among the destinations covered by Explorations by Norwegian, the publication lists Naples, Copenhagen, Helsinki and Greece. The African portion of the program includes Cape Verde, Cape Town and Zanzibar. Other destinations mentioned include Japan and Alaska.
The global voyage takes place on the Regatta cruise ship, which has 348 cabins. On board, there are a spa, a fitness center, and a bar, as well as a pool and a library. The article states that the trips are offered in an “all-inclusive” format, but it does not provide a detailed list of included services.
The price of a full round-the-world cruise, according to the Daily Mail, starts from 56 thousand British pounds (~65 265 EUR). This is the cost stated at the time the article was published; it should not be taken as an up-to-date booking offer.
For travelers considering a shorter sea getaway, Explorations by Norwegian also offers individual trips lasting from eight days. So participating in the program does not necessarily mean completing the entire round-the-world route.
The next round-the-world cruise is scheduled for February 2027 with departure from Australia. Its stated duration will be 367 days. This is a separate program, which should be distinguished from the 371-day trip that started from Rome in 2026.
