Over the course of 38,551 miles, the ship will visit 30 countries across six continents.
It begins its journey in Miami, before heading to the Caribbean, South America, and the South Pacific.

The cruise will then make its way to Indonesia, southern Asia, and the Mediterranean before hitting its final destination in Barcelona, Spain.
It'll stop at 61 ports, across which there are 324 free shore excursions available.

During that journey, it will also hit 56 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, such as the Great Barrier Reef, marking the most UNESCO sites a Regent Seven Seas cruise has ever visited.
Other sites on the itinerary include the Old City of Acre near Jerusalem and Jordan's Wadi Rum Protected Area.

Passengers also have the option to take 10 side trips from ports, called overland programs — like visiting the Great Pyramids in Cairo, a flight away from the port call of Safaga.
Guests can take a flight to Delhi from a port call in Cochin to see the Taj Mahal...

But the fun isn't limited to off-shore activities. While passengers are at sea, there's plenty to do on board the Mariner.

When it comes to resting their heads, guests have 350 suites to choose from, complete with balconies for panoramic views of the sea.

Prices start at $61,999 for a deluxe veranda suite that's 252 square feet ...
... and get as high as $165,999 for a master suite, which is more than 1,200 square feet.

The master suite includes added amenities like in-suite caviar service.
But they're not the only suites to enjoy perks: Penthouse suites and higher have a personal butler.

The suites are basically like floating apartments — there's more room than your average cruise ship.
But no matter which suite guests choose, the price is all-inclusive, including free business-class air to and from the ship, alcohol, Wi-Fi, and laundry service as well as all gratuities paid.

Passengers also get an $800 credit to spend on the ship.
There's currently a waitlist for the six most expensive suites, but some of the penthouse suites, the concierge suites, and deluxe veranda suites are still available.
