The Oceania Vista will sail the world in 2026 – Travel Weekly

Posted on by

Oceania's newest ship, the Oceania Vista, will sail its first world cruise in 2026, roundtrip out of Miami.

The Vista's 180-day Around the World cruise will visit 101 ports across 43 countries. Bookings open on March 13.

The Vista, which debuted in May of 2023, served as the swan song of the line's founder and now-retired CEO of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, Frank Del Rio. He retired shortly after the Vista set sail for the first time in the Med.

The cruise will feature more than 80 Unesco World Heritage sites; 11 overnight stays; complimentary, curated special events onshore; and optional multiday overland programs.

The Vista will depart from Miami on Jan. 6, 2026, to sail the eastern coast of South America and return north along its western coast up to Mexico and California. The ship will reach as far north as San Diego before crossing the Pacific to French Polynesia and Australia, continuing on to Southeast Asia and India.

Current plans also have the Vista passing through the Red Sea and Suez Canal to reach the Mediterranean, British Isles and Nordic region before returning to Miami along the U.S. East Coast.

The itinerary assumes the Red Sea will be safe for cruise traffic; attacks on shipping vessels by Houthi militants in Yemen that began late last year have led multiple cruise lines and shipping companies to avoid the region.

Guests will have the option to sail a shorter, 120-day cruise from San Diego to Miami or a longer, 197-day cruise from Los Angeles to Miami.
