Departing from Miami on January 6, 2026, this odyssey spans six continents and forty-three countries, offering travelers a deeply immersive experience that balances iconic destinations with rarely visited hidden gems.

The itinerary is a masterpiece of destination-focused planning, featuring visits to 101 ports and access to over eighty UNESCO World Heritage sites. Guests will enjoy extensive explorations across South America, the South Pacific, Australia, Southeast Asia, and Europe. To facilitate deeper cultural connections, the voyage includes eleven overnight stays in captivating cities like Rio de Janeiro, Bali, and Mumbai. Onboard, the experience is equally grand, with the Vista boasting all-veranda accommodations and innovative new dining venues like Ember and Aquamar Kitchen. The company’s “Your World Included” value promise ensures a seamless journey with complimentary specialty dining, unlimited Starlink WiFi, and gourmet room service.

For those seeking even more adventure, Oceania is also offering a 197-day “World Odyssey” departing from Los Angeles in late 2025. This extended route includes a holiday celebration at sea and a daytime transit through the Panama Canal before joining the official world cruise in Miami. With a focus on boutique ports inaccessible to larger ships and a seasoned crew dedicated to personalized service, these voyages are designed for curious explorers who wish to see the world in absolute comfort and style.
