My Cruises has launched the second phase of its World Cruise collaboration with Norwegian Cruise Line, Explorations By Norwegian, revealing more itineraries and fresh details of the voyage which will set sail in September 2026.
The 371-day voyage, which will take place aboard Oceania Cruises‘ Regatta, has been specifically designed for Australian cruisers with a focus on flexibility, immersive experiences, and a “seamless fusion” of ocean, river, luxury, and expedition cruising.
At an exclusive event in Sydney last week, My Cruises launched a further six itineraries and offered some previews of what customers can expect onboard. My Cruises Founder Randall Deer and Managing Director Michael Middleton, who was recently named CLIA Cruise Champion for Australasia 2025, took the opportunity to share their passion and vision for this innovative category of cruising.
“We have been blown away by the way this cruise has taken off in the Aussie market, with 25 percent of all sailings already sold. This growing demand for Explorations by Norwegian sailings has shown our incredible team of cruise experts that we have done the right thing with this unique and trailblazing itinerary,” Middleton said.
“Our cruise experts have worked with partners to create opportunities no one has even considered before, doubling bucket list opportunities yet keeping the travel to and from at the bare minimum.”

He shared further details of the voyage including gifting segments. “When a customer purchases a cruise of five or more segments, they can gift different segments to family or friends,” Middleton explained. “This flexibility for our customers was a key component in our initial creation phase for the cruise.”
The voyage will also introduce dedicated Destination Directors who will provide a daily briefing before the cruise comes into port with information about the region and activities available whilst the ship is docked in port. It will also offer onboard bikes for self-guided exploration in-port – a move inspired by river cruising that Middleton described as “unique” for an ocean cruise.
He also unveiled the latest itineraries, which will visit iconic destinations such as the Maldives, Bali, Singapore and India, as well as under-the-radar gems including the Seychelles, Madagascar and Zanzibar. Thanks to Regatta’s smaller size and intimate capacity of under 700 guests, the ship can visit more than 220 ports, offering the benefits of small-ship access with amenities and atmosphere of an ocean cruiser.
All Explorations by Norwegian itineraries are currently available exclusive to My Cruises.
