“Travel changes your life, and that was our purpose when we sat down to prepare what is the most ambitious project in the industry,” says Bob Binder, President and CEO of Oceania Cruises. “The people you meet, the experiences you have, and the places you visit make it all an unparalleled feeling that fascinates you and that you remember for years.”.
The 2020 Round the World expedition represents the company's biggest commitment to destinations like Japan, where it will call at nine ports. It will also explore the secrets of Africa's most undiscovered regions, reaching both the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Horn, and, for the first time on a global Oceania Cruises voyage, will showcase the magnificence of Alaska from the Aleutian Islands to the Inside Passage. Exclusive events will also be held in Montevideo (Uruguay), Cape Town (South Africa), Yangon (Myanmar), Hong Kong (China), and Kyoto (Japan). In short, this exclusive cruise offers the discerning traveler an unprecedented experience.
All of this aboard the iconic flagship, with a capacity for only 684 fortunate passengers. Travelers will enjoy exquisite cuisine at sea in four gourmet restaurants with open seating, where they will savor specialties from every continent prepared by Oceania Cruises' innovative chefs. In addition, the cruises feature engaging lectures on history, art, and music. Its 342 cabins and suites are elegantly decorated, and 70% have their own private veranda, the perfect place to enjoy the scenery. Exquisite treatments at the Canyon Ranch SpaClub, complimentary sports activities led by instructors from early morning, nightly shows, and mini-golf on the outdoor deck are just some of the attractions that will entertain travelers during this exclusive cruise.
