Round the World in 80 days is a classic Adventure novel by the French writer Jules Verne, 1873. In the story, Phileas Fogg had a tough time trying to travel around the world in 80 days.
ORIGINAL ITINERARY:
London > Suez - Rail and steamer across the Mediterranean Sea - 7 days
Suez > Mumbai - Steamer across the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean – 13 days
Mumbai > Kolkata - Rail – 3 days
Kolkata > Hong Kong - Steamer across the South China Sea – 13 days
Hong Kong > Yokohama - Steamer across the China Sea and the Pacific Ocean - 6 days
Yokohama > San Francisco - Steamer across the Pacific Ocean - 22 days

In the 21st century, we have replicated the route, but using a comfortable RTW Ticket:
London > Suez (Cairo) > Mumbai – surface – Calcutta > Hong Kong > Yokohama (Tokyo) > San Francisco – surface - New York > London.
In its classic form this trip takes 80 days, but of course, here you can dedicate whatever time you have available to do it.
