Oceania Cruises announced details of its highly anticipated 2024 Around the World in 180 Days itinerary and four additional Grand Voyages ranging in length between 72 and 82 days.
The world cruise is scheduled to take place aboard the Insignia ship and depart from Los Angeles on January 14, 2024. The voyage will feature 96 destinations in 34 countries and cross three oceans and 15 seas, from the South Pacific to the coasts of Europe.
Oceania's Around the World in 180 Days itinerary also features over 100 UNESCO World Heritage sites, 24 overnight stays and a series of curated complimentary special onshore events and optional multi-day overland programs.
Starting at $48,499 per person, the world cruise boasts free first-class roundtrip airfare and included complementary amenities with the Exclusive Prestige Package, such as laundry services, visa packages, Internet, pre-paid gratuities, luggage delivery and more.
"Incredibly, last year our 2023 world cruise sold out in just one day, so for 2024 we are providing guests more extended voyage options to deeply and meaningfully rediscover the world," Oceania CEO Howard Sherman said.
"While a globe-circling journey is the pinnacle of life-changing travel experiences, we have specially curated a set of Grand Voyages for seasoned and time-rich travelers to navigate storied seas, straits and oceans that boldly connect diverse and exotic corners of the globe," Sherman continued.
