So this map inspired me to come up with a possible American equivalent of the OP. Apparently from London -> Paris -> Madrid -> Rome -> Berlin would be 53 hours, pretty close to the 55-56 hours I see others in this thread quoting for the NY etc. to LA trip.

Alternatively, you could end in Athens instead of Berlin for a 57 hour trip. That one's kind of neat because it's like a mirror image of the OP, downward at an angle to a peninsula, then go horizontal-ish.

To make a loop like yours, one can go Amsterdam -> Paris -> Barcelona -> Rome -> Berlin -> Amsterdam with a travel time of 52 hrs. Add Vienna between Rome and Berlin for an estimated time of 55 hrs.
