Oceania Cruises announced that its "2023 Around the World in 180 Days " world cruise had sold out within 1 day of opening for sale on January 27.
While world cruises typically attract loyal repeat guests, Oceania's 2023 world voyage saw over one-third of all bookings come from first-timers (new-to-brand customers). This furthers a booking trend the cruise brand has seen emerging during the past year with some booking periods recording new-to-brand booking levels of ~50%. Additionally, 20% of world cruise passengers opted to extend their cruise up to a total of 218 days.
Departing from San Francisco CA on January 15, 2023, world travelers can enjoy the 684-passenger ship Insignia to visit a total of 96 ports/destinations in 33 countries (4 continents). Vacationers will have in-depth experiences with overnight stays in 20 ports (South America, Africa, Asia, Alaska) as well as the opportunity to witness Antarctica with 3 full days scenic cruising in Half Moon Island, Admiralty Bay (King George Island/South Shetland Islands) and Paradise Harbor (Graham Land).
The itinerary provides access to 60+ UNESCO sites and vacationers sailing the full world cruise have the opportunity to take part in 5 included shoreside events.
