This is the website we saw after our travel agent, Cary Haskins, sent us the announcement for this groundbreaking world cruise. This is Oceania cruise lines' first around the world cruise, and they made it a special one that no one could refuse by being 180 days. Since this cruise, they have had a 180 day cruise every year and it is so popular, many people go on it a second or third time. Oceania is known for cruising into ports that are new and unique.
We had thought about something like this for years, but it was never the time or place. Now we are 70. Now we are retired and have all the time in the world! Now this unique itinerary, a tasting menu of the southern hemisphere as it were, has presented itself, and we took the bait.
First of all, there is no unpacking. We only have two plane rides, and they are first class! No tipping. Free internet. Free laundry. Yes, they assured us that this was not just free use of the Laundromat. Free pre cruise hotel and transfers. Free processing of the visas. Free reservations to the specialty restaurants. Free special events for world cruisers only. We even get a free commemorative jacket and a travel diary.
Since returning, they have gifted us a beautiful aluminum starfish snack tray and a beautiful fish platter.
