Less than a week - on the open sea, there are NO ports of interest! But hang on, I'll try to get more details...

OOOPS...while trying to find out how long it takes to get a ship from Bahrain to New York, I hit "Submit" expecting a quote on cost and distance...and the message got SENT...

oh dear.

Well, it's only my email!

Cruise ships do not cross those long distances without stopping along the way. they usually cruise regionally, and then move to another region. It is not financially feasible to make a run between say, Bahrain and U.S.
The longest leg would be transAtlantic, which would be from the closest point of Europe to the U.S. There are just no shipping lanes through the middle of the ocean.
Plus, animals are not allowed on ships (or every old lady would bring the dog along)

I worked on cruise ships for 12 years.

Thanks! I worked on two ships in the piano bar...so I was out of the real world loop!
