2026 World Cruise Aboard Vista - A Closer Look

Our 2026 Around the World voyage will visit 43 countries on six continents during an awe-inspiring six-month journey. Even more incredible, our newest ship – the 1,200-guest Vista – will become your ultimate home at sea for 180 days on this odyssey, sailing to 101 ports of call in Asia, Africa, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America, departing from Miami on January 6, 2026.

With more gourmet dining options, enhanced enrichment and entertainment programs, new and spacious staterooms, and our signature personalized service, Vista is the perfect ship for a new era of global exploration.

Circumnavigate South America
Your world voyage begins with three Caribbean islands en route to South America, where, in six weeks, the ship circumnavigates the continent. Your exploration includes nine ports in Brazil and two of Uruguay’s top destinations. As the ship heads for Patagonia, you’ll call at the rarely visited Falkland Islands. From Ushuaia, Vista rounds Cape Horn headed to five ports in Chile before fully charting the continent’s western coast headed north to Mexico and California.
