Ultimate World Cruise
Right now there is basically no Wikipedia coverage of the Ultimate World Cruise, considering the almost absurd level of media coverage it is receiving, and the media coverage about its impact on social media. Apart from perhaps MS The World it is now the best known ultra long cruise, and if coverage keeps its current pace it will probably require its own article by the time it finishes the journey. This is a collection of some of the more significant piece of media coverage surrounding the cruise.
