Travelers have been flocking to global sailings since the resumption of cruises amid COVID-19, creating an "incredibly high demand for extended voyages," Roberto Martinoli, president and CEO of Silversea Cruises, said in a press release.
And more recently in June, Regent Seven Seas Cruises' 2025 150-night global itinerary, its longest one yet, also sold out in "record time" for the fourth consecutive year.
The demand for long-haul cruises has never been stronger.

And Silversea is looking to tap into this growing market: To accommodate this demand, the 2025 global cruise will sail aboard the 596-passenger Silver Dawn, one of the cruise line's bigger and newer vessels.
The around-the-world sailing — called the "Controtempo World Cruise 2025" — will be segmented into 10 legs organized by dates and destinations …

Four months is a long time to spend at sea. And as with any cruise, there will inevitably be several days at sea with no planned stops.

The all-inclusive sailing starts at $76,000 per person in the 335-square-foot Vista Suite.
But if you're looking for something a bit more luxurious, say the 1,055-square-foot Owner's Suite, be prepared to pay at least $266,000 for the global sailing.
