Planning the holiday season at sea is from now possible with Oceania Cruises aboard its luxurious ships across Europe, Asia, Australia and the Americas during the 2026-27 and 2027-28 seasons.
With voyages ranging from one week to nearly 40 days, the ships offer the ultimate way to relax and unwind while celebrating the season. Guests will enjoy live holiday music and performances, specialty festive cuisine, Champagne toasts to celebrate Christmas and welcome the New Year, and nightly menorah lighting throughout Hanukkah in the inviting ambience of Oceania Cruises’ elegant seasonal decor.
The choice of holiday voyages spans nearly the entire fleet, from the intimate Oceania Insignia to the newly launched Oceania Allura during the 2026–27 season. The following year introduces holiday sailings aboard Oceania Sonata and Oceania Aurelia, both set to debut in 2027.
Itineraries include some of the world’s most compelling destinations – from Caribbean islands and the biodiverse coastlines of Peru and Chile to cultural capitals including Bangkok and Rome, and the dramatic natural landscapes of destinations like Vietnam and New Zealand. Each voyage reflects the blend of cultural exploration and gourmet excellence that defines Oceania Cruises, the world’s leading culinary- and destination-focused luxury cruise line.
Select itineraries include overnight stays in ports such as Barcelona, Bali and Singapore for more in-depth exploration, as well as scenic cruising experiences through the Panama Canal or New Zealand’s Milford Sound.
“Our holiday voyages are designed to combine the traditions of the festive season with the excitement of global exploration,” said Jason Montague, Chief Luxury Officer of Oceania Cruises. “Whether guests are toasting the New Year in a vibrant city or spending Christmas Day in a remote tropical paradise, these sailings offer a rare opportunity to celebrate in extraordinary surroundings, all while enjoying the exceptional cuisine, service and warm elegance that define Oceania Cruises.”
Authentic experiences
Oceania Cruises offers travelers a distinctive way to mark the holiday season, through imaginative itineraries and onboard enrichment programs, designed to deepen guests’ connections to the destinations visited.
On many sailings, guests can dive deeper into local cultures through hands-on cooking classes inspired by regional cuisines at The Culinary Center, or venture ashore on a chef-led Culinary Discovery Tour for insider access to local food scenes. Alternatively, travelers may choose to explore ancient archaeological sites or natural wonders on small group tours or wander local markets in search of meaningful mementoes while sampling new favorite dishes and drinks.
