The Longest Cruise In The World Sets Sail On Epic 245-Day Journey Around Six Continents And 51 Countries

The 'world's longest cruise' will set sail from London on Sunday and embark on an epic 245-day journey spanning six continents, 51 countries, 111 ports and covering 55,700 nautical miles.

The eight-month cruise will be operated by the 930-guest Viking Sun liner with tickets for the voyage, called the Ultimate World Cruise, starting from a staggering £66,900 per person.

It is hoped that when the vessel returns to London in May 2020 it will have set the Guinness World Record for the 'longest continuous passenger cruise'.
