Oceania Cruises’ 180-day Around The World cruise for 2023 sold out within one day of opening for public sale on January 27.
The cruise on Insignia costs from £38,059 per person, including return business class flights to San Francisco.
Bob Binder, president and chief executive, said: “The response to our epic 2023 around the world voyage clearly illustrates the enthusiasm that experienced travellers have for immersive and memorable travel experiences.
“Despite the challenges the world faces today, travellers are clearly bullish on the future and are embracing these new opportunities to travel the world and create lifelong memories.”
The world cruise also saw more than a third of bookings come from customers who have never booked with the cruise line before.
“This furthers a booking trend the brand has seen steadily emerging during the past year with some booking periods and promotions recording new-to-brand booking levels of close to 50%,” said Binder.
“Additionally, a full 20% of world cruise guests opted to extend their voyage up to a total of 218 days.
“The quick uptake from our loyal repeat guests and new first-time guests alike underscores the tremendous pent-up demand for immersive, destination-focused cruises and the strong allure of our acclaimed small-ship experience that features the finest cuisine at sea and an unmatched reputation for service from our warm and welcoming staff.”
Calling at 96 ports in 33 countries across four continents, the voyage also includes three full days cruising in Antarctica.
The line said it has seen “exceptionally strong demand” for its 2022 Europe and North America voyages with bookings on longer voyages that span several weeks or months going from “strength to strength”.
The full 2022-23 winter collection of itineraries will go on sale in March and will put the spring, summer and autumn 2023 Europe and North America voyages on sale in September.
