I'm not sure which fixed costs you mean, but this is what I have planned.

One way flight to Europe (anywhere) $250 US
Expenses $50
Flight to Marrakesh $150 US
10 days in Marrakesh $500 US (Morocco's real cheap)
Travel to Malaga, including Ferry $100 US
Cruise cost, tax included, $600 US
Expenses & tips $150 US (I'm not much of a drinker)
Expenses at Arrival in Miami $50 US.
Flight to LAX $130 US
Hang out one day in LA, including hotel $200 US
Cruise around South America, tax included $1,850 US
Expenses $400 US
Flight home from Rio including expenses $1,000 US (ugh)
Grand total = $5,420 US
From my point of view, I can deduct more than half of that for what I would normally spend at home during that period of time, so the whole trip would cost me approx. $2,500 US.
If the 30 day cruise comes down in price and I can find a cheaper flight home, I could easily save another $500 US.

What would your point of departure be?
I could look into the costs of getting to Malaga and getting back from either Miami or Rio, depending on which cruise interests you, if not both.
