One of the world's snazziest new cruise ships is about to do something truly epic
Oceania Cruises is offering an amazing new world cruise itinerary — and this one is currently the cruise industry's longest.
The upscale cruise line recently announced its longest-ever world cruise kicking off in 2027. Globe-trotters on this 244-night Epic Global Adventure will visit an astounding 150 ports in 64 countries across six continents.
The world cruise will take place on the 1,200-passenger Vista and will carry travelers to destinations across the globe, including French Polynesia, Australia, Vietnam, India, Egypt and Sweden.
Vista offers spacious veranda and French balcony cabins, ideal for soaking up postcard-worthy views of the cities you visit. The ship dazzles with carefully curated design elements in stunning spaces (think: grand chandeliers, floor-to-ceiling sculptures, luxurious furnishings and contemporary artwork).
Departing from Miami on Jan. 6, 2027, Vista will spend the month visiting the Cayman Islands, Colombia, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Mexico and Hawaii, including a daylight transit through the Panama Canal. February will bring stops in Bora Bora, Moorea, Papeete and other French Polynesia gems, plus Fiji, Vanuatu and Australia.
Highlights in March and April include port calls in Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, South Korea, Japan and the Philippines. Meanwhile, summer will bring stops in the Maldives, the United Arab Emirates, Greece, Italy, Spain, France, Ireland and Denmark.
The last two months of the voyage will take travelers to Norway, Iceland and Canada (including Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island and Halifax) before the cruise ends in New York City on Sept. 7, 2027.
If you don't have 244 free days on your calendar in 2027, two shorter itineraries are available for booking (both begin Jan. 6 as well). The 127-night Continental Explorer itinerary will conclude May 13 in Doha, while the 180-night Around the World in 180 Days sailing ends July 5 in London.
Oceania Cruises is hailed for fine dining, so expect to eat and drink incredibly well on board. Beyond savoring exceptional cuisine in onboard restaurants (featuring menus crafted by famed chef Jacques Pépin), guests can immerse themselves in exclusive culinary tours and attend cooking classes and demos in the ship's Culinary Center. Additionally, a crew-to-passenger ratio of two crew members for every three guests will ensure attentive service throughout the global journey.
The line's Your World Included program provides a robust list of amenities covered in the fare price, including shipboard gratuities, all meals (including specialty restaurants), in-suite and in-cabin dining, drinks (juice, sodas, specialty coffees and teas), unlimited Wi-Fi, group fitness classes and laundry services, among other amenities.
Additionally, all three world cruise itineraries come with the Exclusive Prestige Package, which includes additional perks such as free luggage delivery, plus a choice of complimentary unlimited wine, beer and spirits or a shore excursion credit.
Oceania's Epic Global Adventure is currently open for booking. Fares for the cruise start at $107,799 per person (based on double occupancy) for the smallest (240 square feet) French Veranda cabin.
At the time of publication, a handful of cabin categories were already sold out, so if you hope to tick a world cruise off your bucket list in 2027, you should book sooner rather than later.
