Marilyn and I did our first cruise in 2006 to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. Instead of picking a random ship sailing from Sydney or Melbourne, we looked further afield and decided to fly to Singapore to experience the Superstar Gemini operated by Star Cruises. It was only a small ship but we enjoyed it so much we sailed on the same cruise a year later.
A lot of water has sailed under the bridge since then and Star Cruises is no more but, yesterday, I came across an article which has given me the good news that the ship sails on. It's now called the MV Gemini and is operated by Life at Sea Cruises. Currently it is offering a 3-year cruise for $75000. It claims that, on the long, long voyage it will visit 13 of the 14 Wonders of the World including the Taj Mahal which is 750 miles from the ocean. 'It will be a long drive,' says the managing director.
$75000 sounds like a lot but it wouldn't be out of reach of a lot of people and it wouldn't be a bad way to see out your last days. I wonder if a burial at sea is part of the package.
