In conjunction with the world cruise, the company also launched four new 72- to 82-day Grand Voyages in the Asia-Pacific region aboard Regatta, Nautica, and Riviera.

According to the line, the sell-out of the six-month-long world cruise and the response to the four Asia-Pacific voyages resulted in a new single-day booking record, surpassing the previous record set in September 2021 by around 12%. 

Howard Sherman, president and chief executive of Oceania Cruises, said the response to the 2024 world cruise and the line’s new grand voyages "illustrates the resiliency, enthusiasm, and passion that drive our guests to travel the world".

"The fervent demand for these globetrotting experiences is also a testament to our officers and crew and the travel partners that have steadfastly championed the worldwide return to travel," he added. 

The 2024 world cruise saw almost half of all bookings come from first-time, new-to-brand guests, and 42% of the guests sailing on the current 2022 Around the World voyage rebooked for the 2024 voyage.

"The tremendous response from our loyal repeat guests and new first-time guests alike continues to illustrate the epic pent-up demand for immersive, destination-focused cruises," added Sherman.

The line has also seen demand for its 2023 Europe and North America collection of voyages with bookings on longer voyages going from "strength to strength".

In response to the uptick in demand, Oceania will open a full year of voyages spanning from October 2023 to December 2024 on 4 May.
