Now, that's a long — and expensive — trip.
如今，有一个长长的—又很贵—的旅程。
A 132-night "world cruise" sold out in under three hours, despite pandemic worries that have hobbled the cruise industry and steep prices that start at $73,499 per guest — and range up to $199,999 per person for a master suite.

Regent Seven Seas Cruises released the fares for sale at 8:30 a.m. ET Thursday. By 11 a.m., all the spots had been snapped up by people eager to spend more than four months on a cruise ship.
丽晶七海邮轮公司于美国东部时间周四上午8:30开始出售机票。到上午11点，所有的景点都被渴望在游轮上度过四个多月的人们抢购一空。
The strong interest may be a positive sign for the cruise industry as it tries to rebound from the pandemic.

High-end accommodations brought some of the most intense interest, the company says.
该公司说，高端住宿引发了顾客们最强烈的兴趣。
That trend aligns with the new economic reality imposed by the pandemic, in which well-off customers have snapped up big-ticket products and services, and even homes, even as millions of other Americans struggle to pay for housing and essentials.
这一趋势与疫情带来的新的经济现实相一致，即富裕的消费者抢购高价产品和服务，甚至住房，而其他数百万美国人却在为住房和生活必需品而挣扎。
"Remarkably, we've found that interest hasn't just come from our past guests, and we have seen a strong increase in first-time travelers," said Jason Montague, Regent Seven Seas Cruises' president and CEO.
“值得注意的是，我们发现游客的兴趣不仅仅来自过去的游客，我们也看到了首次游客的强劲增长，”丽晶七海邮轮公司总裁兼首席执行官杰森·蒙塔古说。
Living quarters aboard the Seven Seas Mariner range from the deluxe veranda suite, whose bed and adjacent sitting area resembles what you might find in a nice boutique hotel, to the master suite, which add a full dining table and living rooms with polished floors and armchairs.
七海水手号上的生活区从豪华阳台套房(其床和相邻的休息区类似于你可能会在一个漂亮的精品酒店找到的)到主卧套房(增加了一个完整的餐桌和客厅，有抛光地板和扶手椅)。
The rapid sales are seen as another confirmation of customers' desire for more cruises, particularly long ones.
