Oceania Cruises has announced its 2024 180-day World Cruise itinerary, along with four new grand voyages ranging from 72 to 82 days. Calling at 96 destinations in 34 countries, the cruise aboard the luxurious Insignia, with a capacity for 684 passengers, will depart Los Angeles for New York on January 14, crossing three oceans and 15 seas from the South Pacific to the shores of Europe.
Howard Sherman, president and CEO of Oceania Cruises, said: “While a round-the-world trip is the ultimate experience for any discerning traveler, we have designed a collection of grand voyages for those who want to travel long distances across seas, straits, and oceans that boldly connect the most diverse and exotic corners of the world.”
The 2024 Round the World voyage encompasses the world's most magnificent destinations, featuring epic attractions and exceptional encounters. Beginning a captivating westward route, the Insignia sails across the Pacific to the Hawaiian Islands, French Polynesia, and the Samoan Islands. It then continues south through the breathtaking fjords of New Zealand to the shores of Australia. Sailing through the most exciting corners of Asia, passengers will have the opportunity to experience a wide range of adventures in Bali, Tokyo and Kyoto, Ha Long Bay, and Yangon. Further discoveries await along the exotic coasts of India and the Arabian Peninsula, followed by experiences in dreamlike locations in the Mediterranean and Northern Europe, before crossing the Atlantic to culminate the voyage on the East Coast of the United States with its final stop in New York.
This trip includes visits to more than 100 UNESCO World Heritage sites in 96 destinations, with 24 overnight stays and a series of special events included in different destinations, as well as optional programs with several days on land.
