This 56-day journey starts in Istanbul, Turkey, and traverses 22 countries before reaching its final destination in London, United Kingdom. It is designed as a luxury expedition rather than standard transit, with a price tag around $25,000. Prior to this, the Guinness World Record was held by the Transoceánica route, a 6,200-kilometer trek between Lima, Peru, and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
