CptBoatface Posted August 28, 2022 #2 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Sigh, was hoping for an itinerary similar to 2024. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ladys Mom Posted August 29, 2022 #4 Share Posted August 29, 2022 It seems that a number of the cruise lines are doing variations of the “ring of fire” itinerary for their 2025 world cruises. Some add portions of South America and some add in parts of Africa. Although this was the first itinerary of our ill-fated 2022 Regent world cruise, we much prefer an equatorial circumnavigation of the globe for a first world cruise. That is why we have booked Regent’s 2024 Miami to Miami. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rigs32 Posted August 29, 2022 #5 Share Posted August 29, 2022 For those surprised, the itineraries have been alternating pretty much since Oceania started doing world cruises. Assuming they are still around when I retire, my plan is to go on an odd numbered year to hit more of South America and Africa. I feel like I have plenty of opportunity to explore Europe on other trips rather than take an even numbered year itinerary. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MM9U Posted August 30, 2022 #6 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Well, for those who complain that cruises always go to the same places, this one visits Edinburgh of the Seven Seas, Tristan da Cunha. Their nearest neighbor is St. Helena, and they have a total population of 266. The Insignia will have four times the population when she arrives. That shore visit alone might be worth the trip.

That is the reason I ended up on the World Cruise with Costa 2023 since it visits ports I have not been to before especially around Africa. It also goes around South America and even I had been there before I am happy to go there again and do different excursions for example Iguaza Falls which had been on my bucket-list anyhow. I have always been booking according Itinerary not cruise line, so 2024 I ended up with Costa again due to a stop in South Korea which is on my bucket-list also.

dude_hdt Posted September 23, 2022 #8 Share Posted September 23, 2022 I've been targeting world cruise in 2025 for a few years now. I want circumnavigation and Oceania is the first decent company to offer that with start/end at same port so just booked today!! Not the best itinerary...eastward and no Europe. On the other hand, Amazon River, southern Africa and Japan near cherry blossom season are pluses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you check the 2024 RTW offering? https://www.oceaniacruises.com/around-the-world-cruises/los-angeles-to-new-york-INS240114I/?sr=%2Fcruise-finder%23marketing_region%3D180dayworld%26ship%3DINS%26time_frame%3D2024-1%26sort%3Dfeatured%3Adesc%26page%3D1%26pageSize%3D10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the 2026 RTW will be a better fit ? if you choose Oceania You could always give some lines a try for 10+ day cruises & see what works best for you Enjoy what ever cruise you choose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems more geared to repeat WC guests, which is great there is that option, but for us we’re looking for something a bit more mainstream and definitely the Med. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude_hdt Posted September 27, 2022 #13 Share Posted September 27, 2022 The more I look at the itinerary, the more it's growing on me. Amazon, southern Africa, southeast Asia are pluses. Missing on my bucket is Petra, Suez Canal, Mediterranean, Baltic, and Iceland. Those can be checked off with another couple of segments with Oceania or another line the following year or 2.

zoncom Posted October 15, 2022 #14 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Cpt. Boat, I am on 24 WC, best itin since the cancelled 21 which I was on. Consider booking 24 directly with O with deposit. With the market in freefall, there will be cancellations. Direct bookings have a preference. You can request several cabins. Should work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoncom Posted October 21, 2022 #15 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Capt. I should clarify; Book waitlists with deposit, probably a reasonable $1500 pp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CptBoatface Posted October 25, 2022 #16 Share Posted October 25, 2022 I love the 2024 itinerary! The Admiral and I may be limited to shorter trips at present due to our 3 cats, though 2 of these may have not too long left. It may be a good strategy, if we were to end up untethered.

BVILady Posted December 8, 2022 #20 Share Posted December 8, 2022 that is just ridiculous, the itinerary I am looking at is $ 50299.00 per person double-occupancy but $ 113000.00 for single occupancy. Sorry Oceania that is just not acceptable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Oceania that is just not acceptable. I see people here "advertise" for random cabin mates in order to get the PPDO rate. Even willing to share an inside with a complete stranger for 4 months. There has to be a more reasonable and less chancy alternative? Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all depends on what one's expectations are and how they mesh with your budget. A WC being a nicety not a necessity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What year is the WC you are looking at? They do have some solo cabins but not sure of the pricing I think you have to call & ask for those directly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked the price on one of the large cruise-websites. Not going to contact them, price is just too ridiculous, 100 % SS is already uncalled for considering that only one person is eating..... Have seen already on other price-quotes the single price on lot's of cruises being higher then 100 % SS but then it is usually just a few dollars more. I do understand that one person in the cabin will spend less then 2 people, drinks, excursions.... but to try to make it up with a higher base price is just greedy and low.
