If it wasn't for the expansion, and if the universe had positive curvature, then yes.
As it stands, there's not only the expansion, but the universe also seems to be flat -- meaning it's spatially infinite, not just borderless. That observation is also compatible with a very, very small curvature, but in that case the size would still be so large that it wouldn't be practically possible to circumnavigate even if it wasn't expanding.
