Oceania Cruises is charting a 180-day round the world course for its newest ship Vista in 2026.

One of the longest world cruises ever, the circumnavigation will visit 101 ports across 43 countries on a 1,200-guest ship that sets a new standard for comfort and convenience.

Setting sail from Miami on Jan. 6, the six-month journey loops around South America, island hops in the South Pacific and around Australia to Southeast Asia and Europe. The itinerary features a mix of impressive cities and off the beaten path secrets and cultural immersions, Oceania boasts. It finishes with explorations throughout the Mediterranean, British Isles and Nordic region before crossing back to the United States.

“With this new voyage, we are excited to offer a rare chance to experience the world from an entirely new perspective – and further forward the future of global cruising,” remarked Frank A. Del Rio, President of Oceania Cruises.

Menus will be curated by Oceania Cruises’ two resident French master chefs, Alexis Quaretti and Eric Barale. Vista offers a market-leading staffing ratio with two crew members for every three guests.

From immersive Culinary Discovery Tours ashore to hands-on cooking classes back on board, guests will have the opportunity to savor the flavors of cultures from around the world alongside Director of Culinary Enrichment Kathryn Kelly.

Starting at $59,699 per person for the French Veranda Stateroom category, the 180-day world cruise includes free first-class roundtrip airfare and transfers, an array of included amenities with the Exclusive Prestige Package such as free laundry services, a free visa package, free Internet, free pre-paid gratuities, free luggage delivery, as well as a shore excursion credit of $8,800 per stateroom and a comprehensive beverage package available during lunch and dinner.
