Magellan himself never circumnavigated the globe, having lost his life in the Philippines. Upon his death, leadership passed through a turbulent succession, ultimately arriving at Basque navigator Elcano, who captained the only remaining ship, Victoria, and the 18 survivors of the once 270-strong crew, back to Spain.

I looked into this and interestingly about 50% both in terms of distance and duration.
