If you are one of them and are already planning an escapade, here is an interesting piece of news for you. You will be able to spend four months travelling the world on a new cruise ship. The only catch is, you will have to wait until 2022.

The outlet reports that throughout the trip, passengers will get the opportunity to visit 33 UNESCO World Heritage Sites as well. Additionally, 1,132-foot ship will accommodate as many as 2,691 travellers and 1,292 crew members. It is also believed to allow pets onboard.

And if you are thinking about the tickets, know that those aren’t too cheap either. The prices range from $15,149 to $72,899 per person. Passengers are also supposed to pay an additional $1710.74 for taxes, fees and port expenses.

According to a BBC report, Cunard had cut-short its three world cruises in March, because of the COVID-19 pandemic. It hopes the situation will be better in two years.
