Oceania frames the ship as a full-time floating retreat
"Oceania Aurelia was designed for travelers who want to explore the world in comfortable elegance," said Jason Montague, Chief Luxury Officer of Oceania Cruises, adding that the 12 segments let guests experience a single chapter of the ship's 180-day global journey.
The line also lists an 18-day Los Angeles-to-Papeete sailing, a two-week Sydney-to-Bali voyage and a 12-day Taipei-to-Tokyo route among the segments available for booking.
