Need to get away from everything, any tips for a world cruise?

lately i don't really want to be around anyone, even my best friend. I am sick of the way everyone see's the world. People are so judge mental it is ridicules. I am so sick of the tiniest things people do and I am so sick of the way my country is run.! Economy is so going to ****. All I have going for me is my education, I will be starting a 2 year HND level Photography course after summer... sometimes I think to myself "Why is everything so hard, should everything and everyone be this awkward or is it just me?". I have been contemplating on going on a world cruise for as long as possible. If anyone has got any tips or advice or even any information about world cruises could you share if possible?. Please & Thank you. After I complete my HND I really want to get a photography job on a cruise ship, get away from everything and everyone. I love traveling, sailing and the ocean. Seems like it is made for me. ^_^

Update:

May I add "getting away from everything" did not mean everyone on the planet. I am not stupid I know there are people on cruises!. I want to get away from where I am at the moment. I would go camping away in the middle of nowhere if I wanted to be alone. Another thing: I know that cruises in general are expensive so obviously "WORLD" cruises are going to be extortionate, I have did my research I KNOW. If I didn't know all this why would I be asking the question in the first place. The cruise ship job was a completely different idea altogether. I have did my research and I have spoke with photographers with cruise ship experience. This is what I want to do. The only decent help someone has commented was the "needing of 2 years of photography experience". Thank you "ROOFINGPRINCESS". Anyway the people I have spoke to about working on cruise ships know people and will put in a good word for me. ^_^ Guess I won't be needing the wait of 2 year

    You will not get a photography job on a cruise ship until you have at least two years full time professional experience. And you will work 7 days a week, and you will share a small cabin with as many as three other people. Not exactly getting away from everything and everyone. Not exactly traveling either, as you will have little free time to actually see the places that the ship stops.

    There aren't many world cruises, and they are very expensive.

    Remember that cruise prices are advertised per person double occupancy (solo travelers pay double) and exclude taxes, fees, gratuity....

    Any tips? Yes - have LOTS of money and LOTS of time. A world cruise takes several months and will cost around $10K and up, depending on the length and the type of cabin. Not many lines offer world cruises, but Holland America does and I think Princess offers some.

    Oh - you want to WORK on a cruise ship? Well, then, you're in for LONG hours, LOW pay and crowded living conditions. Cruise lines don't usually hire US citizens [don't know if you are], but photographer just may be an exception, as it seems most of the photogs I've seen on cruises are not from the usual cruise-employee countries. You may or may not have any time to go ashore while in port.

    Going on a cruise ship isn't exactly getting away from people. World cruises are very expensive, but if you have the money, I would go for it. Check out Oceania. If I had the money and were retired, I'd love to do a world cruise.

    But if you really want to get away, go to an island in the Caribbean. One of the less developed one. Or go camping in the west.
