Tour ship. Naturally, they go all over the place and there are many-many different lines. Now the job you'll be doing won't be the greatest (at first). But, always remember: "Hard work always pays off in the end". Then in time you'll move up to a better job. We don't want to get your hope's up, there may be a way the American Maritime Officers can also help you. Call Brendan Keller (800) 345-3410 or Joseph Gremelsbacker (954) 926-5114. If this works out you'll be yelling, "Land-ho" in no time. GOOD LUCK!!!
P.S. I'm not sure how old you'll have to be to sign-on board. Call a few (3 or 4) travel agencies, and ask them to mail you a few tour booklets on different locations around the world (traveling by ship). If you begin the phone call with a "white lie" (tell them your parents said if you did good in school they would let you pick out some tours around the world for the next family vacation). The agencies will do a better job helping you, because they may ask your age and hang-up on you thinking your just playing around. When the booklets arrive they should show the addresses and phone numbers for the different shiplines. Then just call or write to them with your questions.
P.S.#2- If you become an airline crew member, you'll be so tired you won't want to see the world. But you do travel !

While your passion might be in Travel, you would probably need a passion in a unique skill set or personality to fit in numerous roles within the jobs which have travel invovled.
What would be the kind of roles you are interested in?
Customer service? Entertaining people? Piloting a plane/ship?
Guiding people around?
Once you identify a skill set or role, there are numerous opportunities which entail alot of travel. In these case, you are more likely to get the best of both worlds, traveling (which you enjoy) and the actual job itself while traveling!
Like the3rdtom mentioned: "If you become an airline crew member, you'll be so tired you won't want to see the world. But you do travel!" So if you don't enjoy the work nature itself, you might soon hate the travel part too! Double Bogey!

I would vote for airline pilot. There are travel benefits and more time off than most jobs. The pay is also good.

Be a flight crew or airline official in any capacity with an international airline.
This will enable you see the world mostly on free or
rebated ticket.
