Epic voyages in the lap of luxury are in high demand. Check out what your discerning clients can expect when they book into the best suites on the longest, million-dollar world cruises.
The Regent Suite on Seven Seas Splendor’s 2028 world cruise is already waitlisted – at $1,319,530 per person. That now beats the previous record-breaking fare of AUD$1.25 million for Splendor’s 2027 world cruise – and hello, we’re still in 2025!
As there is only one Regent Suite on RSSC’s Explorer-class ships, it’s not surprising that it books out so quickly – the most and least expensive suites and staterooms for any cruise are always snapped up first.
However, it’s quite an eye-opener to discover how much avid cruisers are prepared to invest in a bucket-list voyage that typically lasts two, three or even more months – and how far in advance you need to book clients into the coveted top suites on these up to one million-dollar world cruises.
Here is our selection of up to one million-dollar world cruises on the horizon for 2027-28.
Oceania Vista, 2027
The voyage: 244 days, departing Miami on 6 January 2027, arriving NYC on 7 September 2027.
Sailing the seven seas for eight months, Oceania Vista’s Around the World cruise is the longest of our selection of upcoming luxury world voyages. The 1,200-guest Oceania Vista launched in 2023 and her top suites are three 222sqm Owner’s Suites that span the entire width of the ship on Decks 8, 9 and 10.
They feature a king-size master bedroom with lavish, spa-like ensuite, separate dining and living areas, an elegant sit-up bar, full butler’s pantry and a second bathroom. Furniture and furnishings are all from Ralph Lauren Home and the master bedroom and living area open to expansive decks.
Owner’s Suite guests also enjoy dozens of special services and amenities on top of the Exclusive Prestige Package.

Viking Sky, 2027
The voyage: 153 days, departing LA on 8 January 2027, arriving in Stockholm on 10 June 2028.
Viking Sky’s top suite is the 134.5sqm Owner’s Suite on Deck 7. It has a king-size master bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and an ocean-view sauna, two guest bathrooms and separate living and dining spaces.
An unusual feature is the boardroom that seats 12 guests – for meetings or dinner parties. Viking’s signature Scandi-style decor is embellished with Chairman Torstein Hagen’s family photos, books and other personal mementos.
Perks and amenities include business-class flights, private chauffeured transfers, priority reservations for shore excursions, spa and dining, in-suite catering and more.
The Owner’s Suite on the 930-guest Viking Sky was booked out almost immediately. Bookings generally open about three years in advance, so watch out for announcements about Viking’s 2028 world cruise this year.

Seabourn Quest, 2027
The voyage: 145 days, round-trip from Miami, departing 5 January 2027, returning 30 May 2027.
Seabourn Quest’s two Grand Wintergarden Suites are the ultimate in the 458-guest ship’s elegantly appointed accommodation. Designed to accommodate up to four guests, both combine two Wintergarden suites on Deck 7 to create 110.5sqm of interior space plus two 20sqm verandas.
Features include a solarium with hot tub and daybed, a pantry and two fully stocked bars, two queen-size bedrooms with ensuites, a guest bathroom and dining area for six guests.

Crystal Symphony, 2028
The voyage: 150 nights, round-trip departing Fort Lauderdale 11 January 2028, returning 10 June 2028.
At the time of writing, only one of Crystal Symphony’s four Crystal Penthouse Suites remains available for her Treasures of the Tides voyage. The suites are very similar, up to 87sqm with balconies up to 10sqm, located midship on Decks 8 and 10.
Each has a queen-size bedroom and lavish marble and glass bathroom with a jacuzzi, a guest bathroom, substantial living and dining areas and a built-in bar.
Accommodating a maximum of 606 guests and 530 crew, Crystal Symphony offers a very high space-to-guest ratio and almost 1:1 crew-to-guest ratio. Guests in the Penthouse Suites also have butler service, complimentary laundry, and in-suite dining service from restaurants including Osteria d’Ovidio and Umi Uma.
Benefits for all world cruisers include a business-class airfare allowance or credit, USD$1,500 onboard credit, private transfers and exclusive shoreside events.

Seven Seas Splendor, 2028
The voyage: 133 nights, departing LA on 5 January 2028, arriving in San Francisco on 17 May 2028.
As mentioned above, Seven Seas Splendor’s opulent Regent Suite is already waitlisted for her 2028 Legends of the Pacific voyage, although bookings only opened in May (pre-reservations started in April). Which means there will be another 10 or 11 months to wait for Regent’s 2029 entry for million-dollar world cruises to be announced, if the usual pattern is repeated.
Splendor’s Regent Suite is almost identical in size and layout to the Regent Suite on Seven Seas Grandeur, which we looked at recently; there are minor differences in decor and artworks but the sumptuous quality and attention to detail are just as impressive.
World cruise fare for the Regent Suite is $1,319,530, visit rssc.com
Silver Shadow, 2028
The voyage: 132 days, departing Miami on 5 January 2028, arriving in Nice on 16 May 2028.
The two Owner’s Suites on Silver Shadow’s 2028 world cruise are waitlisted, and Silversea advises that pricing is not “publicly available” at this time.
The next most comparable suite is the Grand Suite – also waitlisted – with Door-to-Door fares starting from $418,900 at the time of writing. Door-to-Door fares cover absolutely everything: business-class airfares, private transfers, hotel stays, shore excursions, all onboard dining and premium beverages and butler service.
There are four Grand Suites, which vary in size from 87sqm to 101sqm (including a 10–11sqm veranda) for the one-bedroom configuration, and 133sqm (including a 16-17sqm veranda) for two bedrooms.
Silver Shadow was extensively refurbished in 2019 and is an elegant, smaller ship accommodating up to 392 guests and 302 crew. Her four restaurants are Silversea classics: La Dame, La Terrazza, The Grill and The Restaurant.
