2025 Around the World Cruise

 There have been many global voyages before, but never before has a new luxury ship sailed on a world cruise as epic as this. The time has come – our 2026 Around the World journey will be the very first aboard our newest ship, Vista. With more than 100 unique and exotic destinations in 180 days, more gourmet dining options than ever before, fresh new enrichment and entertainment programs, our signature personalized service, and some of the most luxurious accommodations that have ever been offered on an Around the World journey, the bar for global exploration has been raised ever higher. This is the rare chance to experience your world from an entirely new perspective – and the future of global cruising. 

 On January 6, 2026, Vista will set sail from Miami on an incredible 180-day circumnavigation that elevates global travel to new heights. From South America and the South Pacific to the far reaches of Asia and top ports of call across Europe, this journey is filled with awe-inspiring destinations and travel experiences that will change the way you see the world. Cultural immersions, captivating natural wonders, top historical sites and local secrets – it's all part of this once-in-a-lifetime voyage. For more flexibility and greater choice, additional options include a 120-day voyage departing from San Diego as well as a 197-day voyage departing from Los Angeles. Regardless of which departure you choose, Vista will become your ultimate home at sea as you discover what lies beyond the horizon. 

 No stone is left unturned on this sweeping global journey that explores the four corners of the globe. The epic voyage begins with an expansive six-week exploration of South America, rounding the southern tip and fully charting the continent’s western coast before continuing up to Mexico and California. From Brazil's iconic beaches to Patagonia's stark beauty and the immense cultural treasures of Peru, you will experience it all. Vista continues island-hopping in the dazzling South Pacific – think dreamy French Polynesia lagoons and far-flung archipelagoes like Vanuatu – and calling on unique Australian ports, such as Cairns and Darwin. Farther west, off-the-beaten-path secrets come to life in Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand and across India followed by the impressive cities and surreal dunes of the Arabian Peninsula. The enchanting coastal villages and favorite cities of the Mediterranean, British Isles and Nordic region take center stage for more than one month, certain to be full of culture, epicurean discoveries and natural wonders before crossing the Atlantic to complete the impressive voyage. 

 Each year, our Exclusive Shoreside Events on our Around the World journey are meticulously designed by our passionate Destination Specialists to tell the unique story of fascinating locations around the globe. These one-of-a-kind events bring the local culture and history to life through jubilant and immersive experiences that are simultaneously a celebration of the global nature of this exceptional journey. Likewise, these private events are reserved only for the select cadre of world cruise guests choosing to join us for the complete world journey.
