Our Most Ambitious Voyage Yet
96 days. Two hemispheres. One extraordinary journey.
The Best of East & West is the kind of voyage that turns a collection of destinations into a true travel story. It begins among the spectacular landscapes of New Zealand, continues across Australia and Indonesia, moves through Southeast Asia and India, crosses Arabia and Egypt, and finishes among the legendary ports of the Mediterranean.
Rather than flying from region to region, you unpack once aboard Oceania Vista and watch the world gradually change around you. Remote landscapes give way to great Asian cities, ancient temples to desert kingdoms, and the Suez Canal eventually opens the way toward Türkiye, Greece, Croatia, Malta and Italy.
Suzanne and Steve are sailing the entire 96-day voyage.
Join us from Auckland to Rome, or meet us along the way by
choosing one of the shorter Grand Journey or regional segments.
