SEATTLE (March 20, 2024) Seattle-based Cruise Specialists, the leader in selling World Cruise voyages, is excited to announce an exclusive hosted 2026 Oceania World Cruise aboard the cruise line’s newest ship, Vista.

The Cruise Specialists’ package includes a dedicated Voyage Host on 180- and 120-day sailings, a special shore tour program, private onboard parties and more. Cruise Specialists’ experienced consultants and assistants have already sailed on Vista, so they’re able to give clients the benefit of their firsthand knowledge about this beautiful new ship.

The 1,200-passenger Vista, designed for longer voyages with a fresh standard in residential-style luxury, features all-veranda accommodations and some of the most spacious suites and staterooms ever offered on a world cruise, in addition to more complimentary gourmet dining options, new and exciting enrichment and entertainment options, free next-generation Starlink Wi-Fi services and more.

Also, for the first time in the history of Oceania Cruises, a special lineup of its popular Culinary Discovery Tours will be offered on a world cruise. Passengers will tour colorful traditional markets around the world, dine at renowned restaurants and then hone their skills onboard at the ship’s Culinary Center.

Clients of Cruise Specialists can choose from a 197-day voyage from Los Angeles on Dec. 20, 2025; hosted 180-day roundtrip journey from Miami that departs on Jan. 6, 2026; or a hosted 120-day cruise that departs from San Diego on March 7, 2026, and ends in Miami.

The voyages include visits to more than 100 ports and 81 UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 43 countries in North and South America, Central America, the Caribbean, Europe, Asia, Australia, the Middle East and North Africa, and 11 overnight stays. The itinerary includes excursions to landmarks like India’s fabled Taj Mahal, Argentina’s thundering Iguazu Falls, Egypt’s royal tombs, Iceland’s breathtaking glaciers and the ancient Spanish city of Alhambra.

A Cruise Specialists Voyage Host is an inveterate traveler whose role is similar to a superb dinner party host, helping passengers get to know each other and making sure everyone is having a fantastic time.

Voyage Hosts are familiar with ports visited, available to recommend must-see as well as special off-the-beaten-path sites. Hosts are well known by all key onboard staff and will make sure any problems are quickly and discreetly resolved.

“Our Hosted Voyages are incredibly popular,” said Teresa Tennant, Senior Vice President, Cruise Specialists. “Clients know that when they book a cruise featuring one of our delightful Voyage Hosts, they’re going to get an amazing experience. They’ll visit some of the most fascinating destinations on earth, and they’ll be accompanied by a knowledgeable, fun-loving traveler who shares their passion for seeing the world.”
