Imagine spending nearly five months exploring the most fascinating destinations in the world while living in a lavish suite on a luxury cruise ship. From your suite’s private balcony, you can watch the ship pull into secluded islands and alluring ports in Asia, Europe, and Australia. All the while, you have unlimited access to gourmet dining—lobster, filet mignon, Champagne—with every need seen to by a solicitous crew.

It might sound like a travel fantasy, but this is the reality on board Regent Seven Seas’ new once-in-a-lifetime cruise voyage. The line’s just-announced 2027 world cruise will whisk travelers to 40 countries across six continents for an unforgettable adventure over the course of 140 nights.

The destinations will offer travelers the chance to cross off their bucket lists a whopping 73 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including natural and cultural wonders such as Australia’s Kakadu National Park, the Singapore Botanic Gardens, and the temples of Mumbai’s Elephanta Caves.

The itinerary offers 14 overnight port stays, so travelers can truly immerse themselves in destinations like Sydney, Australia; Bali, Indonesia; and Aqaba, Jordan.
