For nearly four years - 1994 through 1998 - I worked for the British passenger ship company Cunard.
You might say I lived and worked on a ship for nearly 4 years! But of course I was always going ashore. So to answer the OP question I suppose the four day trip from Southampton, Hants to New York City was a fairly long stretch. On one around the world cruise I seem to remember the leg from LA to Hilo, Hawai'i and from Honolulu to Pago Pago were long stretches at sea.

Between Pago Pago and Hawaii, our ship stopped at Fanning Island, Kiribati.
When I migrated to Australia by sea from Southampton UK in 1970 we had very few stops. First stop Tenerife (Canary Islands), then Cape Town. That seemed to be a longish stretch - several days between Tenerife and CT. There were no stops between Cape Town and Fremantle (Western Australia)... I'm pretty sure we were at sea for at least ten days.
By the time we reached Sydney, we had been at sea for (IIRC) at least five weeks. Which was 4 weeks too long.
watch out! the resident Barney Fife will come along and tell you that doesn't count for some reason
