Oceania Cruises has announced its most extensive and immersive series of World and Grand Voyages, which are setting sail in 2025.
The line will once again operate its popular Around the World in 180 Days voyage in 2025, this time in a unique east-to-west itinerary. Oceania is also introducing a series of seven Grand Voyages, which range in length from 50 to 111 days.
Far and Wide: The Ultimate Odyssey
74 days, two ships, five countries, three continents — December 22, 2024 to March 6, 2025
This ultimate odyssey will explore three continents on two small ships, linked together by an immersive mid-cruise overland program. Kicking off with a 50-day circumnavigation of Australia, Indonesia, and New Zealand sailing roundtrip from Sydney, guests will then be flown to South America for explorations of Patagonia, Antarctica, and the Chilean Fjords.
Linking these two cruises are two overland tours that guests will be able to choose from: six days in the Blue Mountains of Australia, or six days in the Andean Lakes District of Chile and Argentina.
Highlights of the Ultimate Odyssey voyage include:
- Explorations of three continents and five countries
- 5 overnights offering a blend of cultural and free-spirited Australian destinations and Patagonian outposts, plus an overnight in Bali
- A circumnavigation of Australia, spending about a month visiting 18 destinations, along with a week-long exploration of New Zealand
- A multi-week tour of Patagonian landscapes and Antarctic seascapes
