The popularity of Oceania Cruises‘ 2026 Around the World cruise aboard Vista proved to be the catalyst for the upper premium ship’s return a year later. As announced earlier this month, Oceania Cruises’ Vista will embark on a second Around the World cruise in 2027, departing 6 January from Miami.

“Vista sold tremendously well,” Jason Worth, recently promoted Vice President, Brand Finance & Strategy, Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises explained to LATTE.

“Having a new ship flying the World Cruise flag is something fresh, so both past and new guests were really excited. We saw the uptake for Vista was really strong for 2026 and then we’ve decided to continue that with Vista in 2027.”

“The exciting thing is that we have some new itineraries,” Worth said.

“We’ve really changed it up and one of the unique aspects. We do have guests that sail every Around the World cruise with us, which is amazing, so we need to keep it fresh and interesting, making it a new journey every year.”

In 2027, Oceania Cruises has three difference Around the World cruises to choose from. A 127-day voyage from Miami to Doha, the core itinerary – a 180-day journey from Miami to London, and an eight-month 244-day sailing from Miami to New York.

“We haven’t offered a World Cruise of that duration before and we’re excited about that.”

When LATTE chatted with Worth mid-month, days after the program went on sale, he said there had been strong interest from all markets in the new world cruises.
