Oceania Cruises unveiled the inaugural sailings for Oceania Aurelia, which debuts in late 2027 and will operate two 180-day world cruises in 2028 and 2029, along with two Grand Voyages of more than 70 days.
“We are thrilled to welcome Oceania Aurelia to the fleet next year,” said Jason Montague, chief luxury officer of Oceania Cruises. “Launching two Around the World voyages alongside our Grand Voyages marks a major milestone for the brand.”
The ship will carry fewer than 500 guests with a crew of 400 and feature overnight stays in destinations including Papeete, Bora Bora, Sydney, Bali, Tokyo, Singapore, Mumbai, Seville, and Bordeaux.
Guests will also have access to optional overland programs to Machu Picchu, Petra, and the Taj Mahal, along with nearly 100 UNESCO World Heritage sites.
Passengers on the 2028 world cruise will attend the ship’s christening ceremony in Miami before departure.
