Jules Verne’s Around the World in 80 Days has inspired plenty to follow in the fictional Phileas Fogg’s footsteps, circumnavigating the globe by train, plane and various other means of transport.

Having just set sail from Rome, the 348-room Regatta will spend 371 days exploring the world, visiting 220 ports across 62 countries.
