Around the World in 180 Days.

Oceania Cruises are offering a 180 day cruise around the world in 2022. Admittedly it’s 100 days longer than the epic adventure described by Jules Verne of Phileas Fogg and his valet Passepartout. However you do get to visit 6 continents, 44 countries, 91 ports, 43 islands and en route you will have access to …

The beautifully designed villas offer the …
