🚂 Around the world by train in 100 days 🌍

The British travel company Adventures by Train is offering something truly wild: a once-in-a-lifetime round-the-world journey by train (and a bit of boat) — all in just 100 days 😮

But here’s the catch, Pirates…

This one definitely isn’t budget-friendly. The full experience comes in at around €134,300 per person (roughly £112,900), so you might want to crack open the piggy bank — or ten of them.

What do you get for that kind of cash?

You’ll be travelling in luxury trains and cruise ships, sleeping in some of the world’s finest hotels and ticking off unforgettable experiences along the way. Think gourmet dinners on rails, iconic routes like the Trans-Siberian, and once-in-a-lifetime stops in far-flung places you’d normally only see on postcards.

Is it pricey? Absolutely.

Is it an adventure you'll talk about for the rest of your life? Absolutely.

If you’ve ever fancied circling the globe in serious style — this might just be your dream trip.

So, Pirates… got a spare 100 days and a decent stack of euros? This is one journey you’ll never forget.

The grand departure is set for 17 March 2026, and here’s the catch — there are only 12 spots available.

So if this sounds like your kind of mad adventure, you might want to start packing early... and maybe give your boss a heads-up about that 100-day out-of-office.
