A lot of this list is single-run conditions that don’t conflict with each other, so you can earn several at once instead of replaying for each. Each plan below is one run. Achievements in a plan are marked with a ⛓ badge further down.
Plan a fast route around the world (both guides we checked point at the Trans-Siberian Express or a southern route through India), trade early to afford airships, and skip optional detours.
- ✓▢40 Days — Completed trip in 40 days or less
- ✓▢50 Days — Completed trip in 50 days or less
- ✓▢60 Days — Completed trip in 60 days or less
- ✓▢70 Days — Completed trip in 70 days or less
- ✓▢80 Days — Completed trip in 80 days or less
- ✓▢Completed Trip — Travelled all the way around the world
Nesting: chase only the biggest number. A trip finished in 40 days or less unlocks every speed tier at once. Do not try to combine it with the city-count achievements - 30 cities and a 40-day finish pull in opposite directions.
Ignore the 80-day deadline and hop between as many cities as you can, short legs rather than long crossings. Earn money only by trading, never withdraw from a bank, and never book a hotel.
- ✓▢20 Cities — Visited at least 20 cities in a single trip
- ✓▢30 Cities — Visited at least 30 cities in a single trip
- ✓▢No Banks — Travelled all the way around the world without using a bank
- ✓▢No Hotels — Travelled all the way around the world without using a hotel
Nesting: 30 Cities also unlocks 20 Cities. All four are scoped to a single trip by their descriptions. No Hotels is the risky one on a long trip - Fogg has to recover health on board trains and ships - so if his health is sliding, finish the trip for the city counts and No Banks and do No Hotels separately.
Follow the jewel thief Black Rose's storyline across the trip (both guides describe it as a multi-continent chain) and see it through to the end.
- ✓▢The Greatest Treasure — Enter the secret vault of the Artificers
- ✓▢A Life of Crime — Embark on a life of crime in the company of the world's greatest jewel thief
The fandom wiki places the Artificers' vault inside the Black Rose mystery, and a Steam guide says A Life of Crime is the invitation you accept once that mystery is solved. Separately, a CONFLICT to plan around: Turn the Tide of War (give the Zauberflöte to the Belgrade resistance) and Despair in Vienna (keep it and meet Herr Danzer in Lisbon) cannot both happen on one trip.
When your journey passes through Paris, explore the city and choose to visit the World's Fair. Paris is an early stop on many routes out of London, so this usually comes on your first trip.
Finish any journey back in London, however long it takes. Speed does not matter here, so your first trip is a good one to take slowly and explore.
Get Fogg back to the Reform Club within 80 days. Keep an eye on the calendar, sell items you bought cheaply in the cities where they are worth more, and avoid long detours. The faster tiers (70, 60, 50, 40) are separate achievements, and a single very fast trip earns every tier at once.
Count is per journey, so take a slow, meandering trip and stop everywhere. No time limit applies. Pairs naturally with 30 Cities - one long trip of 30+ cities earns both.
As with 80 Days but ten days quicker. A trip finished in 40 days or less also unlocks this tier, so if you plan to chase 40 Days you can skip a dedicated run.
Complete a journey without ever using a bank to withdraw funds. Trading is your only income, so buy goods where they are cheap and sell them where the market lists them as valuable. Time does not matter for this one, so you can take a slow route that hits good markets.
Each journey around the world is a fresh story with randomised markets and routes, and many of these unique achievements depend on dialogue choices made mid-trip. If a choice goes wrong, restarting the journey is the reliable fix. Ride the Transcontinental Express in North America (between Omaha and Burlington per both guides we checked); outlaws hold up the train and you need to side with Fogg in the fight and knock out Jesse James.
A fast trip with good trading. Both community guides we checked point at the express rail lines (the Trans-Siberian across Russia, or a southern route through India) as the backbone of quick routes. Also unlocked by any trip of 50 or 40 days.

Get the rescue right and the story continues; fail and you lose out.
Thirty cities in one journey. Ignore the 80-day deadline entirely - finishing late still counts as a completed trip - and plan short hops between cities rather than long crossings. Also unlocks 20 Cities.
Each journey around the world is a fresh story with randomised markets and routes, and many of these unique achievements depend on dialogue choices made mid-trip. If a choice goes wrong, restarting the journey is the reliable fix. A murder happens aboard the Noelani (a Pacific vessel; a Steam guide places it on the Yokohama - Honolulu crossing).

A Steam guide recommends going without proper equipment and declining help. It ends that trip, so do it on a run you are not using for anything else.
A tight trip that needs both money and fast connections. Airships are the quickest transport but expensive, so profitable trading early in the journey pays for them later. Also unlocked by a 40-day trip.
A cumulative total across all your journeys, not a single trip. Both guides we checked estimate 8-10 completed journeys, depending on how long your routes are. It will come naturally while you chase the story achievements below - long, winding trips get you there faster.
