Vista: A New Era of Global Exploration

There have been many global voyages before, but never before has a new luxury ship sailed on a world cruise as epic as this. The time has come – our 2026 Around the World journey will be the very first aboard our newest ship, Vista. With more than 100 unique and exotic destinations in 180 days, more gourmet dining options than ever before, fresh new enrichment and entertainment programs, our signature personalized service, and some of the most luxurious accommodations that have ever been offered on an Around the World journey, the bar for global exploration has been raised ever higher. This is the rare chance to experience your world from an entirely new perspective – and the future of global cruising.

An Epic Journey Beyond

On January 6, 2026, Vista will set sail from Miami on an incredible 180-day circumnavigation that elevates global travel to new heights. From South America and the South Pacific to the far reaches of Asia and top ports of call across Europe, this journey is filled with awe-inspiring destinations and travel experiences that will change the way you see the world. Cultural immersions, captivating natural wonders, top historical sites and local secrets – it's all part of this once-in-a-lifetime voyage. For more flexibility and greater choice, additional options include a 120-day voyage departing from San Diego as well as a 197-day voyage departing from Los Angeles. Regardless of which departure you choose, Vista will become your ultimate home at sea as you discover what lies beyond the horizon.

Once you have traveled, the voyage never ends, but is played out over and over again in the quietest chambers. The mind can never break off from the journey.

The Four Corners of the Globe

No stone is left unturned on this sweeping global journey that explores the four corners of the globe. The epic voyage begins with an expansive six-week exploration of South America, rounding the southern tip and fully charting the continent’s western coast before continuing up to Mexico and California. From Brazil's iconic beaches to Patagonia's stark beauty and the immense cultural treasures of Peru, you will experience it all. Vista continues island-hopping in the dazzling South Pacific – think dreamy French Polynesia lagoons and far-flung archipelagoes like Vanuatu – and calling on unique Australian ports, such as Cairns and Darwin. Farther west, off-the-beaten-path secrets come to life in Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand and across India followed by the impressive cities and surreal dunes of the Arabian Peninsula. The enchanting coastal villages and favorite cities of the Mediterranean, British Isles and Nordic region take center stage for more than one month, certain to be full of culture, epicurean discoveries and natural wonders before crossing the Atlantic to complete the impressive voyage.

Featured Cruise Ports

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
January 23-25, 2026
As you toast your marvelous day with a caipirinha, Brazil’s national cocktail, you may wonder when you first fell in love with Rio de Janeiro. Was it during a hike in Tijuca National Park or as you were savoring feijoada, a black bean and meat stew? Perhaps it was when you were getting to know the locals on a tour of the city’s best markets or when you rose to the top of Sugarloaf Mountain in a cable car. Whether you lounge on a beach, amble through historic neighborhoods, or admire vistas from one of the peaks that rise thousands of feet over the metropolis, at day’s end you will be convinced that Rio ranks among the world’s great cities.
Valparaíso, Chile
February 15, 2026
Fun and funky, Valparaíso is an exceptionally creative city. In addition to the colorful homes that climb the hills leading away from the port, you’ll see lots of bright street art, even in the historic quarter – a UNESCO World Heritage site. You’ll also notice the city’s iconic ascensores, funiculars built in the late 1800s and early 1900s to help residents make their way up and down the steep hills. Declared national monuments, some still function today. For a completely different flavor, visit nearby Viña del Mar for a more resort-like locale, or travel to Chile’s dynamic capital of Santiago, which is about two hours southeast.
Lima/Machu Picchu (Callao), Peru
February 21, 2026
From pre-Inca ruins to the UNESCO-listed city center that served as the Spanish Empire’s seat of power, you will discover evidence of Lima’s strategic importance to many cultures over the last 2,000 years. But don’t let the lovingly preserved palaces and churches and fantastic museums filled with ancient artifacts fool you into thinking that the sun has set on this bustling Peruvian capital. In modern neighborhoods ranging from chic and upscale to hip and artsy, wander through galleries and sample the city’s celebrated cuisine. Beyond Lima, a multiday excursion will take you to Machu Picchu, one of the world’s great bucket-list destinations.
Kailua-Kona, Hawaii
March 14, 2026
Kailua-Kona has two names because the locals refer to it as both Kailua and Kona. This laid-back approach to naming reflects the overall vibe here of going with the flow, probably because it is hard to get too wound up in paradise. This is a destination where you can roam a national park, swim or snorkel in the sea, and play a round of golf at one of three courses overlooking the ocean. Make your way inland to a coffee farm or check out Holualoa Village on the slopes of Mount Hualalai, where you can stroll through this quaint town to read historic markers and stop at one of the many art galleries, shops or cafés.
Nuku Hiva, French Polynesia
March 19, 2026
Wild horses, centuries-old banyan trees, ceremonial sacrifice sites and a remote location far from the rest of French Polynesia – all of these combine to add an air of mystery to Nuku Hiva, the largest of the Marquesas Islands. This is the place where Herman Melville abandoned his job on a whaling ship in 1842 to live for a month with a local tribe in the Taipivai Valley, later inspiring his debut novel, Typee. Explore the incredible scenery of Melville’s former stomping grounds, and experience fascinating tribal traditions such as the artistic and intricate patterning that is commonly expressed through carving, tattooing and fabric painting.
Nouméa, New Caledonia
April 6, 2026
Called the Paris of the Pacific, Nouméa offers you French colonial architecture, a dash of Hermès, and bistros serving croissants, crêpes and fine French wines. But this Parisian flair blends gracefully with swaying palms and salty sea air. The New Caledonian barrier reef, one of the world’s largest, begs to be explored offshore, while white sand beaches stand ready to facilitate a lazy afternoon of swimming and sunning. Some of the Pacific’s most biodiverse forests beckon you inland, even as the archipelago’s most cosmopolitan city invites you to discover fascinating museums and galleries that illuminate the island’s culture and history.
Cairns, Australia
April 15, 2026
If it were above the water, the Great Barrier Reef would be among the world’s 20 largest islands. Only a few hours from the Outer Reef, Cairns is your gateway to this astounding UNESCO World Heritage site. Over 134,000 square miles of vibrant coral in sparkling azure seas host thousands of species of marine life, including six of the seven species of sea turtles as well as spinner dolphins, giant manta rays and the dugong, a close relative of the elephant. Not to be outdone, Cairns’ rainforests are also UNESCO sites, vying for your attention with diverse plant and animal life and cultural sites that reveal Aboriginal history and traditions.
Bali (Benoa), Indonesia
April 22-23, 2026
Breathtaking Bali is an interesting mix of modern and traditional. Once a remote destination that could be reached only with a fair amount of effort, the island has become a haven for serenity seekers from around the world. Part of its draw is spiritual – there are gorgeous Hindu temples throughout the island, and the town of Ubud in particular has become a center for yoga practitioners. But there’s also quite a party scene in Kuta, and the surfing is top-notch. For a special treat, hire a guide and visit the Jatiluwih Rice Terraces, a gorgeous UNESCO World Heritage site that demonstrates how harmoniously man and nature can interact.
Cochin (Kochi), India
May 5, 2026
As a longtime trading port in southwest India, Cochin is used to receiving visitors from all over the world. Many flock to the coastal fishing grounds, famous for the large Chinese fishing nets that have been used for centuries. These cantilevered contraptions brought here ages ago by Chinese explorers have a mesmerizing up-and-down action that takes a fair amount of muscle to operate. You can join in if you want to test your arm strength, but be sure to negotiate your “tip” before you start. Cochin is also an aromatic city, known as a great place to pick up spices like yellow curry, black pepper, Ceylon cinnamon and dry chutney powders.
Dubai, UAE
May 13-14, 2026
As Dubai has carved its place in the vast desert as a glittering tribute to all that money can buy, you may find it hard to believe that the city’s skyline had only a few modest high-rises as recently as the 1990s. After learning about the monumental journey from fishing village to international symbol of opulence at the Dubai Museum, discover for yourself what all the fuss is about in this city of superlatives. Ride the world’s longest elevator to the top of the world’s tallest building, shop in the world’s largest mall, ski the world’s first indoor black-diamond run or lounge on a white sand beach on the world’s largest artificial island.
Luxor (Safaga), Egypt
May 22-23, 2026
Long before bucket lists, there was Luxor, the site of the ancient city of Thebes and a breathtaking monument to the awesome power and wealth of Egyptian pharaohs during the 16th to the 11th centuries BC. As you stand in a 50,000-square-foot hall at the base of columns towering over 80 feet, your size and place in this ancient world will not be difficult to determine. For a humbler take on life in the desert, travel to a Bedouin settlement to sip tea, break bread and learn about this nomadic culture, or spend the day relaxing on the Red Sea Riviera, where travelers flock for some of the best snorkeling and diving in the world.
Granada (Motril), Spain
June 4, 2026
While the beauty of the nearby rolling countryside and Sierra Nevada mountains is hard to match, Granada manages just fine with its spectacular Moorish architecture. Hundreds of years of rule by North African Muslims left an indelible influence most gloriously witnessed at the Alhambra, a stunning palace complex built in the forested hills with snowcapped peaks rising as a backdrop. While the palace is Granada’s most famous attraction, getting lost amidst the winding medieval streets and stumbling upon grand cathedrals is likewise appealing. South of Granada, the port of Motril was a sugarcane capital, so you’ll want to try the local rum.
Bordeaux, France
June 9-10, 2026
Along a curve in the Garonne River rises the iconic 18th-century architecture of Bordeaux, a brilliant unity of medieval roots, neoclassical style and urban planning so remarkably revitalized that half the city was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2007. Stroll through this divine cityscape defined by its parchment-colored buildings and wide-open squares, the largest of which is the 30-acre Esplanade de Quinconces. The only thing that could draw you outside of a city this gorgeous would be wine regions as revered as Médoc and Saint-Émilion and the elegant countryside châteaux where you can taste these renowned vintages.
Isafjordur, Iceland
June 24, 2026
Iceland’s northwest territory is known as the Westfjords, a rugged area that is as beautiful as it is sparsely populated. Though there are only about 2,600 residents, Isafjordur is the largest town in the area and the cultural center, so it has the best variety of shopping and dining in the region. As the town was built around the fishing industry, you’ll want to try the local seafood, and Tjoruhusid restaurant is an institution. There’s no set menu, just a buffet of whatever is fresh from the sea served family-style at long tables. Pull up a seat and make new friends before you explore the striking glacial landscapes that surround the town.

Sample Mid-Cruise Overland Programs

As the 2026 Overland Programs are currently being meticulously designed to offer you immersive, unforgettable adventures around the world, here is a selection of Mid-Cruise Overland Programs emblematic of the dozens of uniquely curated experiences that will be offered.

Thundering Iguazú Falls
ARGENTINA
Iguazú translates to “Big Water” in the indigenous Guaraní language, but even that generous description of the falls is a gross understatement. Iguazú Falls is a force to be reckoned with, a monstrous cascade that thunders down with such frightening power and intensity that it seems to be alive. Even the most gushing superlatives fail to capture its dramatic beauty, especially at the ungodly Devil’s Throat, the largest cascade.
Joyous Java
INDONESIA
Become immersed in Java’s history and culture through experiences that divulge the island’s true nature. The impact of Hinduism and Buddhism comes to light at the temple complexes of Prambanan and Borobudur, respectively. Both architectural treasures are enlightening UNESCO World Heritage sites. A rare opportunity to watch a revered, almost spiritual kris dagger being made sheds additional light on the Javanese way of life. A train ride from the royal city of Yogyakarta brings you to sprawling Surabaya, where Arabic Square reveals the roots of Islam in Indonesia.
Jewels of Luxor
EGYPT
Explore a litany of fabled tombs in ancient Egypt’s royal burial grounds, beginning with the Karnak and Luxor temples, which a two-mile avenue lined with small sphinxes once connected. King Tut’s tomb still remains the most famous, as it held fabulous riches when excavated. His mummy is displayed there in a climate-controlled glass box. Queen Nefertari’s tomb nearby is renowned for its colorful wall paintings that have defied the ravages of time. Cruising the Nile in a traditional dahabiya boat allows time to reflect on the sights.
Taj Mahal: The Eternal Masterpiece
INDIA
One of the best-known structures in the world, Agra’s fabled Taj Mahal will awe your senses and capture your heart. Considered to be the finest example of Mughal architecture, the Taj Mahal is a glistening mass of white marble and semiprecious stones set amidst impeccably landscaped grounds. Witness how the sunlight alters the hues of this magnificent mausoleum, and also observe other icons of Mughal architecture and dance.
Arabian Desert Extravagance
UNITED ARAB EMIRATES
Explore the dry, barren landscape of the Arabian Desert that belies the wonders of life that flourish there. A drive through the rippling red sands of the Al Wadi Nature Reserve reveals its haunting natural beauty and perhaps herds of gazelles. At night, the sky becomes an inky canvas of brilliant constellations for exquisite stargazing. Cruising the fjords of the Musandam Peninsula – the Norway of Arabia – and a definitive drive through Dubai are sure to shatter any lingering assumptions you may have had about desert life.
Inspirational Iceland
ICELAND
Witness nature’s drama in the Land of Fire and Ice, a moniker that reflects Iceland’s volcanic forces and glacial wonders. Stand atop the rim of Grabrok Crater and behold the lava fields that a past eruption left in its wake. View one roaring waterfall after another, ranging from remote Dynjandi – the largest cascade in the Westfjords – to Glanni, a petite waterfall where elves and trolls supposedly live. Still, the ultimate experience is riding in a monster snow truck through the manmade ice tunnel that cuts through Langjokull Glacier.
Ode to Andalusia
SPAIN
A plethora of UNESCO World Heritage sites distinguishes this Andalusian adventure. In Granada alone, there is the Moorish-influenced Alhambra, Generalife palace and the Albaicín neighborhood. UNESCO also recognized the prehistoric dolmens monuments in medieval Antequera and the extraordinary architecture throughout the historical district of Cordoba, such as the Great Mosque and the landmark Jewish Quarter. An inspired tasting of regional wines, tapas-style dining, an emotionally moving flamenco performance and free time to mingle with the local residents adds a deeper understanding.
