Oceania Cruises unveils new 129-day around-the-world voyage from Sydney to London
The cruise line announced on Wednesday that it will be launching the 'Kangaroo Route' sailing, which will visit more than 80 ports across 34 countries and four continents aboard its Oceania Vista ship.
Passengers who book on this voyage can expect overnight stops in cities such as Shanghai, Tokyo, Singapore and Mumbai.
The sailing will depart on 26 February 2027 from Sydney, Australia, for a four-and-a-half-month journey across the world.
After navigating along Australia's coastlines, two months of the sailing will be spent in Asia. The cruise will then continue to the Middle East with stops in places such as Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Doha.
The 1,200-guest ship will then cross the seas to Egypt, before sailing on to Mediterranean countries such as Greece and Italy, the French Riviera and Spain's Costa del Sol.
After months of exploring different landscapes, cultures and cuisine, the journey will eventually conclude in London on 5 July.
The cruise company, a subsidiary of Norwegian Cruise Line, said guests will have access to 'the most spacious standard staterooms at sea', which are 291 square feet, complete with verandas.
For every three guests, there will be two crew members on board, and one chef for every eight guests, who will be serving passengers across 11 dining venues onboard.
Restaurants cover a whole range of cuisines, from Italian, pan-Asian and French dining to wellness-inspired dishes.
Known for being a culinary-focused cruise line, Oceania goes further than just dining options with its onboard cooking classes, food and wine pairing experiences and culinary tours once ashore at various locations.
Guests can also find eight bars, lounges and entertainment venues on the Oceania Vista, along with a spa and vitality centre.
Starting at $54,999 (£40,863) per person, the new Kangaroo Route sailing will also include complimentary amenities, a choice of free unlimited drinks or a shore excursion credit.
'Our new Kangaroo Route, crafted from the epic 2027 Around the World cruise, is much more than a voyage – it's a rare invitation to experience a vast part of the world with the comfort, warmth, sophistication and exceptional cuisine that Oceania Cruises is renowned for,' said Jason Montague, chief luxury officer of Oceania Cruises.
'We're thrilled to offer this immersive new journey of exploration in 2027, aboard Oceania Vista, spanning four and a half remarkable months.
'Our guests crave enriching journeys, and this itinerary has been thoughtfully designed to effortlessly blend diverse continents, vibrant cultures and authentic cuisines into one utterly unforgettable experience.'
Oceania Cruises, which owns eight small ships in its fleet, has also launched three other itineraries as part of its 2027 'Around the World' voyages, including a 180-day journey from Miami to London, a 127-day sailing from Miami to Doha and a 244-day trip from Miami to New York, the latter of which is the luxury cruise line's longest option ever offered on a world cruise.

Eurostar wants to launch new London routes. Can it make them work?
Almost 31 years ago, in 1994, the very first Eurostar train pulled out from the soaring arches of London Waterloo. Destination: Paris, Brussels and Lille. Back then, international train travel looked a bit different (for starters, it's not the same station — Eurostar moved to St Pancras International in 2007). In its first year of operation, Eurostar carried three million people. Last year 19.5 million of us sat on one of the company's elegant blue-and-yellow Siemens trains, with most journeys either starting or ending at the north London hub. By 2040 the cross-Channel operator is aiming to carry 25 million passengers, which translates as 2,700 an hour (up from 2,000 an hour now). The eventual goal is 5,000 passengers an hour. For context, London Heathrow, Europe's busiest airport, handles less than double that right now. The growth is thanks to the increased popularity of train travel in recent years, plus the fact that it has become a more viable option for European trips — as well as a convenient one. There are 17 trains a day linking London and Paris, and about half that to Brussels. This year Eurostar added more trains on its Amsterdam route, with five services a day linking the British and Dutch capitals (there's also a snazzy new terminal at Amsterdam Centraal station). This spring, a record 45,000 passengers travelled with Eurostar in one day. A large-scale expansion plan is in the offing. By 2030 Eurostar wants to run three new direct routes to Europe — to Frankfurt, Geneva and Cologne, all with a travel time of under six hours, which it says reflects passenger demand — and will introduce a fleet of 50 new trains to service them (rumoured to be double-decker versions by the French manufacturer Alstom, a passenger favourite). These are big ambitions. And to achieve them, St Pancras International, Eurostar's London hub, needs to adapt. Its planned expansion is in three phases — the first (which has already started) being to improve security and border control, the second to expand the station concourse and the third to look at moving arrivals upstairs, so they file straight out next to George Gilbert Scott's St Pancras Renaissance Hotel. To find out more, I had an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at what the station is doing to prepare for Eurostar's new era with Simon Lejeune, its chief safety and stations officer. First, the problems. Anybody arriving at the Eurostar terminal at St Pancras and either having to idle in a snaking queue past the shops, or trying to find a seat in its cramped waiting area, can attest to the fact that the 19th-century station is under pressure. The problem is space: the station is owned by English Heritage, listed as a heritage building by Historic England and there's nowhere else for it to expand. • 22 of the best rail journeys in Europe Eurostar is also under pressure from competitors including Richard Branson's Virgin Trains and Gemini Trains/Uber, which want to run services through the Channel Tunnel. Related to this, there's an ongoing row with the UK regulator the Office of Rail and Road (ORR) over available maintenance space at the east London depot Temple Mills, which only Eurostar leases at present. The ORR says the depot, which stores and maintains high-speed trains, only has space for planned Eurostar growth or a new entrant — but not both. The ORR decision as to whom the space will be awarded to is due by the end of October. Then there's the new European Entry/Exit System (EES), due to come into force from October 12, which will mean more queues around the station as travellers need to register biometrics such as fingerprints and facial scans, plus confirming other pieces of information including accommodation booking and insurance on special kiosks before travel. Passengers will need to revisit these kiosks for a biometric scan before every journey in a move that will eventually replace passport stamping, although the European Commission has confirmed there will be a six-month grace period and passports will continue to be stamped during that time. My tour starts by the bank of EES kiosks, outside the Eurostar terminal (there are 49 kiosks around the station in total). St Pancras, alongside Dover for the ferries and Folkestone for LeShuttle, has 'juxtaposed' EU borders, which means passengers enter France (and therefore the Schengen area) in the UK. Eurostar says it estimates each registration will take up to 90 seconds, although its official line is that passengers won't need to arrive at the station any earlier than the present advised arrival time of 75 minutes before their train. • 9 of the best sleeper trains in Europe I ask Lejeune how the flow of passengers will be managed. The fear at EU borders is that from October the queues will be unmanageable for the first few weeks as passengers register themselves for the first time. He tells me that EES will instead be rolled out on a gradual basis — and passengers, at first, will be 'invited' to complete their details (probably Premier passengers) and that there will be staff members positioned around the station to make sure passengers know what they need to do. In the station itself the number of French border kiosks has been doubled, with similar expansions in Brussels and Paris. There are now 18, up from 9, with more e-gates too, which British passengers will be able to use when they've registered for EES. Ten more security scanners are on the way — passengers love Eurostar because there's no liquid or hand baggage restrictions, a rarity in air travel — which will help to ease queues on the way in. Then there's terminal layout, which under phase two — set to be completed by the end of 2028 — will be redesigned. The present departure hall is far too small; it's usually impossible to get a seat, and with even minimal train delays the area feels too cramped — the only place with any room to breathe is the Lounge, which only Premier customers can use (one-way London to Paris fares in first class from £245). The idea is to expand departures into most of the arrivals area, which is large and mostly unused, and eventually to divert passengers who arrive in St Pancras straight out of the station on the upper level. During what is an extremely busy summer for travel, Eurostar is already trying to manage crowds. In the next few weeks, it will tell passengers they will only need to be at the station 60 minutes before their train, down from 75 minutes now and 90 minutes earlier this year, to ensure nobody is hanging around longer than they need to be. • Eurostar guide: everything you need to know before you travel 'As demand for sustainable international travel continues to surge, our stations are evolving to meet the needs of the future,' Lejeune says. 'We're investing in infrastructure, technology and design to ensure our key hubs — like London St Pancras — can handle more passengers with greater ease, speed and comfort. Whether it's rethinking how passengers flow through the terminal or preparing for the next generation of trains, we're focused on delivering a seamless experience.' The goal of increasing traffic to 5,000 passengers an hour through a tight central London space seems ambitious at best and unmanageable at worst. As well as making sure St Pancras is fit for purpose, there are plenty of regulatory hurdles to jump over before passengers are whisked from London to Geneva or Düsseldorf. But I suppose the proof will be in the proverbial pudding — or Black Forest gateau.

Liberty Mutual in first US bribery settlement since Trump freeze ended
Aug 11 (Reuters) - Liberty Mutual will give up $4.7 million in profit to settle a U.S. criminal bribery probe into an Indian subsidiary, in the Department of Justice's first public enforcement action of a federal anti-bribery law it resumed enforcing in June. In a letter made public on Monday, the Justice Department said the subsidiary, Liberty General Insurance, paid $1.47 million in bribes to six state-owned banks, which in exchange referred customers to its insurance products. Liberty's scheme ran from 2017 to 2022 and resulted in $9.2 million in revenue and the $4.7 million in profit, the letter said. The Justice Department said the settlement reflected Liberty's acceptance of responsibility, cooperation including its March 2024 disclosure of the misconduct, and compliance upgrades. In February, U.S. President Donald Trump halted enforcement of the anti-bribery law, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, saying its overuse denied a level playing field, opens new tab to U.S. companies, harming economic competitiveness and national security. The Justice Department restarted enforcement with a scaled-back approach focused on misconduct that hurts U.S. competitiveness, involves key infrastructure, and is tied to cartels or transnational criminal groups. Liberty's settlement is fairly small. A wide range of multinational companies have been prosecuted under the anti-bribery law, including Goldman Sachs (GS.N), opens new tab and Sweden's Ericsson ( opens new tab. In a statement, Liberty said it was pleased the Justice Department "acknowledged our proactive approach and affirmed our commitment to integrity and compliance across our global enterprise." Bloomberg News reported the settlement earlier on Monday.

Trump caves handing China another 90-day tariff extension before threatened doomsday
President Donald Trump extended a tariff deadline on Chinese goods by another 90 days less than 24 hours until the new trade 'doomsday' hit. He reportedly signed an executive order to pause a scheduled hike as talks between China and the United States continue. The president signed an executive order to postpone the tariff deadline, according to a report from CNBC citing a White House official one day before it was scheduled to snap into place. Currently, Chinese imports are subject to the president's 10 percent baseline tariffs with an additional 20 percent tariff. The president threatened a massive 245 percent tariff on Chinese goods in April, but has extended it as long as talks and negotiations continue. United States and Chinese officials spent two days in Stockholm in late July emerging in a settlement to extend the ongoing trade 'truce' between both countries. 'They've been dealing quite nicely — the relationship is very good with President Xi and myself,' Trump said. The new deadline is set for early November. 'Tariffs are making our Country Strong and Rich!!!' Trump boasted on social media on Monday. President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are also in talks to meet to wrap up trade talks and set a deal as negotiations continue. The two leaders last spoke on the phone in June. Both sides are optimistic that they can wrap up talks in late October, according to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent in an interview with Nikkei Asia. Trump continues using tariffs to force foreign countries into negotiations, even as some of the deadlines keep getting extensions depending on whether progress is made. Tariffs on over 60 countries went into effect at midnight on August 7th, following 18 weeks of tough negotiations. Trump allowed tariffs on Canada to jump to 35 percent, even as the president granted Mexico a 90-day extension. India now faces an additional 25 percent tariff scheduled for August 27 on top of a 25 percent tarrif set on August 1. Brazil also has a 50 percent tariff on many of its products. Other countries that have yet to make a trade deal with the United States include Switzerland, South Africa, Brunei, Cambodia, Bolivia, Ecuador, Iceland, Nigeria, Sri Lanka, New Zealand, Turkey, Norway, Iran, North Korea and Russia. Trump announced Monday afternoon there would be no tairrfs on Swiss gold bars, after the price of gold spiked.
