Going around the world is a dream of many people. Every year, such tours are becoming more affordable, and if they wish, tourists can easily cope with their frightening visa restrictions (for citizens of the Russian Federation, for example, such a round-the-world route has been created through the cities of visa-free countries: Moscow - Belgrade - Istanbul - Cairo - Bangkok - Fiji - Havana - Moscow).
Organization of a trip around the world
First of all, you need to decide on the route and duration of the tour, as well as take out insurance and collect only the most necessary things so that excess luggage does not interfere on the road.
It is advisable to plan your tour in a clear geographical order - from west to east: this is the direction given by airlines that send travelers on round-the-world flights.
The most problematic point of planning is determining the travel budget - it is important to predict the costs of air tickets, meals, accommodation, transfer (to the hotel / airport), communications, excursions, souvenirs.
Travel around the world by plane
You can go on a 24-day trip aboard a Four Seasons Private Jet or choose one of two routes: the first route includes visits to Bora Bora, Australia and India, as well as Thai, Indonesian and beaches in Hawaii; as part of the second route, tourists will explore Beijing and Marrakech, walk through Tokyo's largest fish market, soak up the beaches of the Maldives, dine in one of New York's restaurants.
Having resorted to the services of tour operators, those wishing to go on a 21-day "air round the world", during which they will visit sightseeing tours of Madrid, Miami, Las Vegas and Los Angeles, rest in Honolulu and Oahu, walk through the downtown of Tokyo and visit at the Meiji Jingu Shrine.
If you are one of those who are not averse to saving money, it makes sense for you to get a “round the world ticket” - it will allow you to fly around the whole world at a relatively low price. It will be possible to purchase it from such airline alliances as Oneworld (15 members - Aeroflot, Qatar Airways, Finnair and others), Star Alliance (makes stops in 193 countries and more than 1300 air terminals) and Sky Team (delivers those who wish to more than 1000 airports in 177 countries).
Travel around the world on a cruise ship
The sea version of the “around the world” involves the issuance of the largest number of visas (10-17), documents for which must be submitted several months in advance (in “cruise” cases, there are practically no refusals). Another “minus” is that it is difficult to go on a round-the-world cruise from the territory of Russia, since 80% of the round-the-world cruise business is concentrated in the UK and the USA, so Russians will have to fly first to New York or London.
A round-the-world cruise on liners (usually the duration of tours is 1-3 months), equipped with comfortable cabins, restaurants, entertainment and sports facilities, will allow everyone to explore interesting places in the United States, relax in Hawaii, make acquaintance with French Polynesia and New Zealand, go on a tour of Australian and Indonesian cities. The final destination of the trip can be China or Thailand, or again the States.
When sailing around the world with Oceania Cruises, the voyage will last 46 nights. Having gone on a tour "Pacific Grand Voyage" from the port of Miami, tourists will visit Georgetown (Cayman Islands), Colombian Cartagena, Costa Rican Golfito and Puntarenas, Corinto (Nicaragua), Guatemalan Puerto Quetzal, Mexican San Diagapulco (USA), Hawaiian Honolulu and Navilili, Fijian Suva, Australian Norfolk Island, New Zealand Auckland.
It is worth noting that an original pastime can be a round-the-world trip on the Kapitan Khlebnikov icebreaker, lasting 24 days. The route starts at Anadyr, after which tourists will follow the Northern Sea Route along the Arctic, cruise around Greenland, sail off the coast of Canada, and finally arrive in Anadyr.
