How long is a world cruise?

I am new to this forum, and I need advice. I’m recently divorced, and have never traveled before. Since I received a nice settlement, I’d like to travel; mainly, take a few cruises.

The first one I am looking at is a world cruise. I thought I’d do a long cruise for my first one, then some smaller ones afterwards. I’d like to hear about any experiences any of you may have had about the itinerary of the cruise, and what were some favorite stops.

Has anyone taken a world cruise, and if so, what was the length of the cruise?

World Cruises

World cruises are a very popular way to travel. They can be costly (naturally) due to the durations, though. A true world cruise will include stopping at over 50 ports, and may take up to 180 days. Of course there are varying lengths of the cruises, depending on the number of ports, so choose what works best for you. Regents, Crystal, Holland and more all offer world cruises, anywhere from 80 days to 180 days.
