Today we have put together a vacation around the world without flying. We had a wonderful time traversing the world via train and cruise ships. We took 38 and 5 cruise ships to make our entire journey. We hope you enjoy coming along with us. We used Amtrak for the US portion of the trip.

I thought I could do this when I retire, for at least 2 years. But I am beginning to rethink that. I think I would get board and miss having my own home, my own bed, and just simply normalcy after a while - once the novelty of seeing different places wears off. I think I could definitely travel a few times a year. But I would prefer to have a place where I can go home to.. Our plan is to payoff our current home which has more than doubled what we bought it for, and purchase a new smaller home with 100% cash. That way we won't have a mortgage. It definitely would be cool to travel around the world like this. It looks like a fun adventure.

Hi Allie & Rob, what a great time you both seemed to have on your around the world vacation by cruise and train. I'm not actually a cruise type girl, but I really enjoyed your pictures of where you went. My most favorite of the trips were in Switzerland, and Greece. OMG all I can say is WOW!!! Thank you so much for putting your vacations out here for all of us to enjoy!!!

This question pertains to the train car at the 29 minute mark (approx). With a shower that also has the toilet in it....if you've showered, and the floor is wet....and then you need to use the toilet a bit later, what do you do to keep your pants from not getting wet? I've seen these combo toilet/showers in campers and have always wondered.

@bsa492 Ай бұрын

Four Questions: 1) How did you find time to do this? 2) How long did it take for you to do this trip? I noticed that you spent a full month in one location, although I don't remember where. 3) How much money did you budget for this trip and how close did you get to your budget? 4) WHEN did you take this trip? With all the unrest in the Middle East, I would be too fearful to embark on such a journey right now... Thanks!!

@Double0pi Ай бұрын

My parents did this, but with far more trains, about 10 years ago. I guess it's no longer quite as safe for Americans in Russia, though--the Siberian Express was a major part of their journey. IIRC, they did Beijing to somewhere in Russia, then Siberian Express to Moscow, then trains down through Poland to Germany, then to Portugal. They took a transatlantic cruise to Miami, then took Amtrak to Seattle (I think via D.C./Chicago?). Then two cruises, one from Seattle to Alaska, one from Alaska to Tokyo, then...ok, I've forgotten this part, but there was a cruise from Japan to China somehow, and back by train to Beijing.

@Double0pi Ай бұрын

I should add that they didn't do this all in one go--the long cruises were end-of-season repositioning cruises, so they had to do them at different seasons of the year. They live near Seattle, so that was a convenient break point, lol

They have a finance channel (Ground Life Finance) in which they break down their costs. They are really good at getting a lot of points through credit cards that they can convert into train trips and hotel stays. And those repositioning transoceanic cruises tend to be cheaper than traditional cruises

Why don’t you ever give us at least a thumbnail sketch of how much your trips cost? How can we even plan on duplicating the trips if we don’t know in advance how much we’re going to have to save up for? I can’t help thinking that these trips are sponsored, and that you don’t have to worry about the cost. I don’t mind that part, but you could give us an idea of about how much it would cost us.
