To get into a country one usually needs to show return tickets. Say,
if I travel from Australia to join a boat in Miami, after cruising for
6-12 months or whatever I could end up in Italy or New Zealand etc. Do
I change/refund ticket (which probably means it needs to be a much
more expensive open ticket?) or do I fly back to Miami with a one-way
ticket and face a possible refusal of entry because it is not a
straight-forward return ticket? .....

I suspect that you are "doing it wrong". Shipping crews fly all over
the world to join vessels and I'm fairly sure that they all aren't
getting round trip tickets.

Thank you both Mike and Bruce. I haven't worked out the final solution
yet especially for when cruising with open-ended destinations that
could back track with the long.'s so a round-the-world ticket won't
work either, but will keep investigating.

Cheers
