In the coming days, one of Oceania Cruises to date will be available: the "Around the World 2026" aboard, for the first time, their newest and most luxurious ship, the Oceania Vista. There have been many round-the-world voyages before, but never before has a new luxury ship like the Vista undertaken an itinerary like this.
The Oceania Vista is 241 meters long and weighs over 67,000 tons, offering a crew-to-guest ratio of two to three guests.
For Oceania Cruises, gastronomy and haute cuisine are its hallmarks, and the Oceania Vista is yet another example of this culture, offering up to eleven different culinary spaces, four of them new and exclusive to the newest ship launched last year—a mid-sized Allura-class cruise ship with a capacity for 1,200 passengers. Food lovers can enjoy gourmet experiences led by Oceania Cruises' two resident Master Chefs from France, Alexis Quaretti and Eric Barale. From incredible immersive culinary experiences to onboard cooking classes, there's an opportunity to savor flavors from around the world alongside Director of Culinary Enrichment, Kathryn Kelly, in a world premiere.
The Vista also includes a variety of common leisure and wellness spaces, as well as new dining options, in addition to the most luxurious accommodations ever offered on a round-the-world voyage, with only cabins with private balconies featuring contemporary decor in soft tones and elegant furnishings and artwork; personalized service; and a new entertainment and enrichment program.
The round-the-world itinerary will visit more than 100 unique and exotic destinations over 180 days , and bookings will open on March 13, 2024. The Vista sets sail on January 6, 2026, for a six-month global voyage, beginning with a six-week journey through South America, sailing to Tierra del Fuego and up the coasts of Chile, Peru, and Panama before continuing to Mexico and California. From there, it will traverse the South Pacific, stopping at unique Australian ports such as the Whitsunday Islands. It will then travel through Southeast Asia via Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam to India, continuing on to the Arabian Peninsula. The journey will then proceed to charming coastal towns and favorite cities in the Mediterranean, the British Isles, and the Nordic region, including the Canadian coast and New England, before returning to Miami. In total, it will visit six continents, 43 countries, 101 ports, and more than 80 UNESCO World Heritage sites. Departing from and returning to Miami, the trip lasts 180 days and includes 11 overnight stays in ports, a series of special onshore events, and optional multi-day programs.
But there are also more options to choose from. For those who want to enjoy a round-the-world trip in fewer days, Oceania offers a 120-day option departing from San Diego and ending in Miami with the Global Wanderlust cruise. And for those who want to make the trip a little longer, the World Odyssey cruise adds 17 more days to the round-the-world experience, for a total of 197 days departing from Los Angeles and ending in Miami.
From the Taj Mahal to Andalusia, passing through Iguazu Falls, the temples of Egypt, and the volcanic island of Java. But also a new, modern, and luxurious ship with amenities and entertainment such as creative workshops and photography courses. Not to mention, this voyage will also include a comprehensive Culinary Discovery Tours™ immersion program and engaging hands-on cooking classes – also a first for Oceania Cruises' World Cruise.
But this time, even more complimentary services are included to make the trip even more luxurious. Not only are the services of the Exclusive Prestige package included, such as complimentary laundry service, exclusive shore excursions, a pre-cruise luxury hotel night, transfers from the hotel to the ship, and complimentary onboard credit and unlimited Starlink Wi-Fi; there's also the option to take advantage of Simply MORE™ amenities, with complimentary gratuities, complimentary champagne, wine, and more, complimentary gourmet specialties, unlimited Starlink Wi-Fi, and shore excursion credit.
The Oceania Vista's round-the-world trip has rightfully earned its place as one of the most sought-after journeys thanks to its variety of destinations, excellent cuisine, luxury accommodations, personalized service, and a comprehensive entertainment and enrichment program.
