The Ultimate Oceania World Cruise: From LA to Hong Kong

Day 1–3: Los Angeles

Begin your escape with two nights at The Garland, a retreat blending retro-inspired sophistication with modern luxury in Beverly Hills. Splurge in the designer boutiques of Rodeo Drive, indulge in Michelin-starred dining, or opt for a private tour of Hollywood’s legendary sites. Visit the Beverly Hills Hotel for a touch of timeless glamour. On day three, step aboard Oceania Regatta, ready to embark on an elite maritime adventure.

Day 4–8: At Sea

Ease into the rhythm of life on board the ship. Start your mornings with wellness at the Aquamar Spa Terrace, reserved solely for Concierge-level guests. Spend afternoons indulging in gourmet dishes inspired by culinary capitals or engage in intimate onboard events like sommelier-led wine tastings. As you cross the vast Pacific, look out for breathtaking sunrises and sunsets and the occasional playful pod of dolphins along the way.

Day 9–13: Hawaii

Discover the Hawaiian Islands, starting in Honolulu, where you can visit the Iolani Palace, the only royal palace in the United States. Explore the volcanic calderas of Hilo, relax on the pristine beaches of Kona, or snorkel at Kahaluu Beach Park. In Nawiliwili, step into Kauai’s emerald valleys and waterfalls. Each stop is an opportunity to immerse yourself in Hawaii’s rich Polynesian heritage. From the untouched cliffs of the Na Pali Coast to the energy of Waikiki and the sacred sites of Pu'uhonua o Hōnaunau, you'll gain a true sense of Hawaii's welcoming spirit.

Day 14–18: At Sea

Enjoy five days of serenity as you journey deeper into the Pacific. This is your time to make use of the ship’s exceptional comforts, from engaging enrichment sessions with historians and former ambassadors to exquisite four-tiered afternoon teas and Broadway homages. As you sail toward the shores of French Polynesia, relish the ever-changing ocean views and perhaps spot rare seabirds along the way. 

Day 19–25: French Polynesia

Your next stop is French Polynesia, where you’ll explore beautiful islands like Bora Bora, Moorea, Raiatea, and the serene paradise of Huahine. Glide through tranquil turquoise lagoons framed by soaring volcanic peaks and palm-lined beaches. In Papeete, Tahiti's capital, discover colourful street art, celebrated black pearls unique to the region, and poisson cru – fresh, citrus and coconut milk-cured fish - prepared with local expertise. Huahine offers archaeological sites and stone fish traps still used today. Moorea’s peaks give way to private pineapple fields and rum distilleries, and in Bora Bora, treat yourself to world-class snorkelling or a morning with local pearl divers, who offer a glimpse of the islanders’ deep connection to the ocean.

Day 26–28: Sailing the International Date Line

As the ship journeys across the Pacific, you’ll cross the International Date Line from east to west, losing a day in the process. Enjoy the days at sea with a Motown tribute show, a scoop of Humphry Slocombe’s Secret Breakfast ice cream, or a culinary demonstration by the talented chef, with the endless expanse of the ocean as your backdrop.

Day 29–39: Polynesia & Melanesia

The adventure continues in Samoa, where lively fruit stalls and island traditions draw you in. After a day at sea, you’ll arrive in Fiji for two days in paradise, including a festive celebration on Christmas Day while docked in Lautoka. Another day at sea precedes your arrival in Vanuatu, where two full days let you dive into island life: browse the colourful pitches of Port Vila’s market, cool off at the Mele Cascades waterfall, snorkel over reefs at Hideaway Island, or visit a village to experience kava ceremonies and local traditions.  

After another day at sea, you’ll call at the Solomon Islands, where Honiara offers WWII sites like Henderson Field, the National Museum’s insight into local culture, and nearby Bonegi Beach, where shipwrecks are now playgrounds for tropical fish and coral. The final stretch brings two relaxing days at sea, with New Year’s Eve celebrations on board to welcome in the new year, as the South Pacific stretches out around you.

Day 40–46: Australia

Cruise along Australia’s northern coast, with stops in Cairns, the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef, and the storied town of Darwin. Enjoy a unique excursion from Cooktown: visit the eye-catching Black Mountain, a striking cluster of massive granite boulders threaded with passageways that are steeped in legend. You’ll also have time to wander the lively Esplanade in Cairns, spot saltwater crocodiles in the wild, or immerse yourself in the ancient Daintree Rainforest.

Day 47–55: Indonesia

Indonesia’s archipelago unfolds with a string of unforgettable stops. On Komodo Island, you’ll come face to face with the legendary dragons and a unique pink sand beach, while in Bali - at both Benoa and Celukan Bawang - you can split your time between golden beaches and visits to temples and craft villages. Lombok offers a slower pace, with green hills, quiet villages, and unspoiled coastline.  

In Java, Surabaya tells stories of Indonesia’s fight for independence, while Semarang reveals its Dutch colonial past and the striking Sam Poo Kong Temple. Jakarta rounds things off with the fast-moving energy of the capital. From colourful neighbourhoods and volcanic landscapes to hidden coves and ancient temples, every port brings a different side of Indonesia to explore. 

Day 56–62: Malaysia and Phuket, Thailand

The next six days take you through Malaysia’s mix of modern cities and island escapes: in Kuala Lumpur, you can take in sweeping views from the Petronas Towers, while Penang offers both its legendary street food and the UNESCO-listed lanes of George Town, flanked by heritage shophouses. On Langkawi, the pace slows with rainforest trails, sandy beaches, and island-hopping boat rides. Crossing into Thailand, Phuket combines golden beaches with the chance to sail through Phang Nga Bay, where limestone cliffs rise from emerald waters made famous on screen.

Day 63–65: Singapore

Start with two days in Singapore, where you can stroll beneath the futuristic Supertrees at Gardens by the Bay, sample local flavours at bustling hawker centres, and wander through the colourful districts of Chinatown and Little India. For a different perspective, head up to the Marina Bay Sands SkyPark for sweeping views across the skyline. After soaking in the energy of the city, enjoy a relaxing day at sea.

Day 66–70: Thailand and Cambodia

Next, savour a day in Koh Samui, surrounded by turquoise waters and fringed with coconut palms - just the place for a laid-back beach escape or a paddle through hidden coves. Afterward, spend two full days in Bangkok, where ancient temples rub shoulders with sleek rooftop bars and boats sailing along the Chao Phraya River. Continue with a day exploring Sihanoukville in Cambodia, known for its golden beaches and welcoming markets, before the pace slows again with a restful day at sea.

Day 71–76: Vietnam

This part of your journey begins in Ho Chi Minh City, where reminders of the Vietnam War sit alongside popular street stalls and French-colonial boulevards. In central Vietnam, wander the lantern-lit streets of Hoi An and discover neighbouring Hue, where ornate tombs and riverside pagodas evoke the nation’s past. Your final two days in Vietnam are spent in Hanoi, a city alive with lakeside parks, centuries-old temples, and the irresistible pull of its street food menus.

Day 77–78: At Sea and Disembarking in Hong Kong

After 74 unforgettable days on board Oceania Regatta, the final two days provide a gentle transition as you relax and reflect on the journey. Approaching the dazzling skyline of Hong Kong, you’ll step ashore and into a new chapter, checking in at the Harbour Grand Kowloon on day 78. Set at the edge of Victoria Harbour, the hotel places the city, and your next adventure, right at your doorstep.

Day 79–82: Hong Kong

After months at sea and countless unforgettable experiences, you arrive in the heart of Hong Kong. A guided half-day tour of Kowloon introduces you to bustling stalls, colourful streets, and incense-filled temples. Over four nights, you can take in sweeping views from Victoria Peak, stroll along the Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade, and find a moment of calm in the lush Nan Lian Garden. From lively night markets to quiet corners that reveal the city’s calmer side, every moment lets you savour Hong Kong at your own pace - a fitting celebration at the end of a journey of a lifetime.
