A luxury around-the-world cruise with stops in New Zealand has booked out in the quickest time on record.
The Around the World in 180 Days sailing aboard Oceania Cruises' ship Insignia filled up in under 30 minutes, after going on sale. The 2024 itinerary which includes eight days in New Zealand shows there is plenty of appetite for cruise travel on the horizon.
In spite of ongoing uncertainty surrounding the Maritime Border, the itinerary is one of two Oceania 'Grand Voyages' which are expected to visit New Zealand in the 2023/24 season.
Howard Sherman, CEO of Oceania Cruises said the new record "clearly illustrates the resiliency, enthusiasm, and passion that drives our guests to travel the globe."
