Do you have an extra $2.2 million lying around? Then you, too, can take one of the world’s most expensive vacations.
Presented by Panache Cruises, you and a guest will travel on a world cruise for 140 days aboard the Region Seven Seas Splendor and then spend six days on land at the most expensive hotel in New York City.
Did we mention that the cruise portion of the trip will be spent aboard a 4,443-square-foot suite?
The cruise will visit six continents and 73 UNESCO World Heritage sites. 460 shore excursions, including a personal chauffeur and guide, will be available.
“Guests will get to travel the world inside the most exclusive address at sea in opulent surroundings complete with spa, bar, grand piano and even their own butler,” Panache Cruises CEO James Cole said. “We wanted to ease the couple gently back to Earth after 140 days of ultra-luxury so we added a one-week stay in the best hotel room in New York to complete the ultimate luxury holiday on land and sea.”
“Everything is taken care of including all gourmet dining, all drinks, unlimited valet laundry, phone time per suite, unlimited Wi-Fi, gratuities, a variety of onboard entertainment, enrichment activities and more,” Cole continued. “The Seven Seas Splendor ship is just one of a fleet often boasted as the World’s Most Luxurious, but never before have passengers had the opportunity of sailing the world in such opulent luxury making this incredible holiday the most expensive in the world.”
The lodging in New York City will be a penthouse at The Mark Hotel.
On the ship, the suite’s living room, dining room, two spacious bedrooms, two marble bathrooms and two private balconies are overseen by a personal butler.

The best part of summer cruising is that there are more cruising options than in any other season. Cruises to destinations like Alaska and Scandinavia are highly seasonal; go in the summer, or you can't cruise there at all.
