Around the World in 80...

Today's Puzzle:

The puzzle name is certainly not a reference to out drive through Europe at the moment. Vienna is as far east as we go before driving back to the UK soon.

Today's puzzle is instead a fabulous callback to the infamous story, Around the World in 80 Days by Jules Verne, with a story told in a Sudoku somehow with a palindrome and a magic square!

Rules:

Normal Sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1 through 9 in each empty cell. Digits must not repeat within the same row, column, or box.

The rows, columns, and diagonals in a magic square must all sum to the same totals.

Digits along a palindrome line read the same forwards or backwards. Additionally, the digits along the palindrome line sum to 80.

A black dot between cells indicates cell values with a 2:1 ratio. A white dot between cells indicates cells with consecutive values. Not all dots are shown.

The digits along each arrow must sum to the digit in the circled cell. Digits may repeat along an arrow if permitted by other rules.
