    The Sweeping World Journey Features 17 Unique Segments, Offering Distinct Voyages Across Six Continents, Allowing for Deeper Cultural Connections at Every Turn

    MIAMI, Oct. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Oceania Cruises®, the world’s leading culinary- and destination-focused luxury cruise line, invites travelers to experience the ultimate global journey aboard the luxurious Oceania Vista during its 2027 Around the World cruise. In addition to options ranging from 127 days to more than eight months, the once-in-a-lifetime 244-day voyage has been thoughtfully divided into 17 immersive segments ranging from 9 to 20 days, offering guests the opportunity to experience the world on their own terms and at their own pace.

    Featuring more than 125 ports across 53 countries, OceaniaVista‘s leisurely sojourn is not just a world cruise; it is a meticulously curated mosaic of cultures, cuisines and coastlines. Reflecting the line’s commitment to explore Your World. Your Way®, the diverse segments allow guests to tailor a personalized journey to fit their timeline, offering them the luxury of choice to create their ideal voyage – from the incredible destinations they choose to visit, to the small-group immersive tours ashore, to enjoying the always included selection of gourmet specialty restaurants while on board the elegantly refined Oceania Vista.

    Across the distinct voyages, Oceania Cruises whisks guests from the glittering skylines of Miami and Los Angeles to the emerald peaks and crystalline lagoons of French Polynesia, onward to Asia’s dynamic cities and lush landscapes, and then continuing to Europe’s most coveted marquee ports, all with the line’s hallmark luxury, comfort and sophistication.

    “While our Around the World cruise is an incredible way to explore the world in style, we understand that not all guests have the time to enjoy a 244-day sailing,” said Jason Montague, Chief Luxury Officer of Oceania Cruises. “To make the wonders of the world more accessible while catering to our guests’ varying lifestyles, Oceania Cruises is thrilled to offer this epic Around the World journey, also available as a series of segmented itineraries, each offering the same unparalleled luxury, personalized service and immersive destination experiences at sea.”

    As guests embark on their journey, Oceania Vista will serve as a luxurious home base, blending refined luxury with a welcoming sense of comfort. On board, guests will enjoy spacious all-veranda accommodations, warm and intuitive onboard service, and exquisite dining experiences, including four always included specialty restaurants: Toscana, the line’s signature Italian restaurant; pan-Asian venue Red Ginger; Jacques, serving classic and contemporary French bistro dishes; and Polo Grill steakhouse. Plus, the ship offers enriching activities such as hands-on cooking classes at The Culinary Center, art workshops in the Artist Loft and engaging guest speakers, along with serene spaces like the top-of-ship library and Aquamar® Spa + Vitality Center with its tranquil terrace.
