In a bold reimagination of global travel, Oceania Cruises has unveiled its latest masterpiece – the Kangaroo Route, a dazzling 129-day sailing that traverses 34 countries, over 80 ports, and four continents aboard the luxury vessel, Oceania Vista. Set to depart from Sydney
on February 26, 2027, this journey promises more than a traditional cruise – it’s a vibrant odyssey of culture, cuisine, and discovery, crafted for those with a true taste for the extraordinary.
This immersive voyage is a feature segment of Oceania’s 2027 Around the World offering, designed for modern explorers seeking cultural depth and culinary excellence without sacrificing luxury or comfort. From the sparkling shores of Australia to the historic elegance of Europe, each stop on the itinerary offers travelers the chance to engage with the world through refined experiences and expertly curated adventures.
A World Tour of Epic Proportions
The journey begins on the sun-drenched coastlines of Australia, before making its way through the spellbinding seascapes of Asia. Guests will spend over two months discovering the region’s diversity—from Indonesia’s lush archipelagos and Japan’s futuristic-meets-ancient cities, to the spiritual beauty of India and the cosmopolitan glow of Singapore, Shanghai, and Tokyo.
As the ship heads westward, the magic continues across the Middle East. Sojourns in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Doha provide a dramatic contrast of tradition and innovation, leading guests to the mythic lands of Egypt—where timeless monuments and desert mysteries await.
The cruise culminates in Europe, where guests will glide through iconic ports like Athens, Rome, Dubrovnik, Barcelona, and Bordeaux before concluding the experience in the cultural melting pot of London. Along the way, overnight stays in key cities allow deeper exploration, ensuring that this is not just travel—it’s transformation.
The Vista: A Floating Luxury Haven
Built to match the scale of its breathtaking itinerary, Oceania Vista is a triumph of modern cruise design. Every one of its 1,200 guests enjoys veranda accommodations, with the standard staterooms among the most spacious at sea—measuring a generous 291 square feet.
With a nearly 1:1 crew-to-guest ratio, service on Vista is intuitive and deeply personalized. Half of the crew is dedicated solely to culinary excellence, and it shows: the ship features 11 diverse dining venues, including the wellness-focused Aquamar Kitchen, Italian fine-dining at Toscana, and the globally inspired Red Ginger. The beloved Jacques serves French cuisine with elegance, while The Culinary Center offers hands-on classes and immersive Culinary Discovery Tours™ ashore.
For those seeking enrichment and wellness, Vista boasts Aquamar Spa + Vitality Center, the Artist Loft for creative workshops, and a variety of guest lectures and exclusive wine pairing experiences—like the Sommelier’s Choice luncheons and Gérard Bertrand wine events.
More Than a Cruise—A New Way to See the World
“This isn’t just a cruise—it’s an experience that blends elegance, education, and escapism,” says Jason Montague, Chief Luxury Officer of Oceania Cruises. “The Kangaroo Route is designed for curious, mindful travelers who want to engage with the world meaningfully, without giving up the comforts of refined living.”
Travelers booking this once-in-a-lifetime journey will also enjoy Oceania Cruises’ Exclusive Prestige Package, which includes a choice of complimentary unlimited wine, beer, and spirits; generous shore excursion credits; shoreside events; visa assistance; and even luggage delivery.
Prices start at $54,999 per person, and availability is expected to be limited due to the uniqueness and scale of the itinerary.
A Journey That Stays With You
From sunrise yoga on the deck overlooking the Bay of Bengal to wandering cobbled streets in Southern France, the Kangaroo Route is a celebration of world cultures and natural wonders. It’s a rare opportunity to take life slowly, intentionally, and deliciously—on the open seas.
For those who believe the journey is just as important as the destination, Oceania Vista promises the best of both.
