| Sep 1, 2021 at 6:46 | comment | added | Oscar Bravo | You seem to have planned this trip using a flat, rectangular map of the world. On such a map, East-West distances get shorter as you get closer to the poles. Your route is not a Great Circle so the total distance is much less than the Earth's circumference. If you came into my pub and claimed you'd "been around the world" with that route, I'd raise an eyebrow... | |
| Aug 31, 2021 at 22:30 | comment | added | David Z | @PeterM Topologically speaking, I can go "around the world" in my living room :-P But seriously though (even though I'm not sure if you were being serious), we're probably talking about something like traversing the full 360 degrees of longitude. | |

| Aug 30, 2021 at 21:02 | comment | added | TCooper | Might be worth looking at re-ordering the trip to cross closer to the bering straight - I don't know, but given the much shorter distance I'd guess finding a passenger ship would be possible(?) | |

| Aug 30, 2021 at 11:43 | comment | added | Abigail | I remember Michael Palin doing a television series in the 1980s where he went around the world in 80 days, following as much as possible the route from the book of Jules Verne. Almost the entire trip went by train and ship (though he crossed Arabia by car after missing a connection, and he travelled a bit by coach due to a train driver strike). He crossed the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans on cargo ships. Around the World in 80 Days with Michael Palin. | |

| Aug 29, 2021 at 23:48 | comment | added | mlc | A friend of mine did a similar trip some years ago (starting and ending in New York); he went across the Pacific on a cargo ship. I don't remember the exact route but something like Japan to west coast US or Canada seems right. As others mention, there are agencies that specialize in booking that sort of thing. But I assume that it's impossible nowadays due to the covid situation. | |

| Aug 29, 2021 at 22:20 | comment | added | Kate Gregory | There are one way pacific cruises, but not from Japan. Most cruises are from Sydney or Honolulu. It was trivial to find Honolulu to Peru one way. You might have a harder time finding Sydney to Honolulu, but it will be better than Japan as a starting point. | |
