The article gives a very appealing description about the longest cruise. It contains all the luxury one person could wish. Moreover, it is a way to visit the main ports/countries around the world at the same trip. It is likely that you do not need to think in anything since the crew will give all the facilities: where to go, what to see…However, I think that staying on a ship for almost a year can be a little tiring and you will eventually miss your home and routine, without speaking about the sensation of stumbling.
I sailed from Denmark to the South of Norway in a ferry some years ago. For me the experience is unforgetable and memorable. I suffered from sea sick and spent vomiting the whole night. Moreover, the sea was specially rough and the ship looked like it was to crack the next moment. I spent the next day trying to recover myself, thus I could enjoy neither the landscape nor the excursion. Since then, cruises have not atracted to me too much and also, they seem to me very expensive.
