Tourexpi
Oceania Cruises®, the world's leading culinary- and
destination-focused cruise line, has revealed its 2026 Collection of Voyages
featuring an extraordinary breadth of sailings across Alaska, the
Mediterranean, Northern Europe, and beyond.
The
2026 Collection of Voyages features more than 100 enticing itineraries, plus 35
Grand Voyages, offering the most enjoyable means of extended exploration by sea
aboard six of the line's ultra-premium, small ships.
The
thoughtfully planned voyages encourage travelers to ignite their passion for
discovery by visiting both renowned and off-the-beaten-path destinations,
from Alaska's rugged wilderness to the sun-drenched Mediterranean and
the splendors of Northern Europe.
"Oceania
Cruises is about discovering the magic of small-ship cruising, where the
onboard experiences are just as exceptional as the destinations visited,"
said Frank A. Del Rio, President of Oceania Cruises. "On board our
intimate ships, guests can tailor their experience exactly as they wish,
whether that be indulging in a gourmet meal created by our esteemed onboard
culinary team or setting out on a shore excursion – the choice is entirely
theirs. The convenience of small-ship cruising allows our guests to unpack only
once and seamlessly explore iconic cities and hidden treasures; with no lines,
they're able to step ashore quickly, and they are always warmly greeted back
aboard with a heartfelt welcome from our onboard team."
Small
Ships, Big World
With
bucket list trips covering the most incredible locations from Vancouver to
Papeete, Istanbul to Barcelona and Reykjavik to London,
Oceania Cruises guests can savor the joys of traveling the world on sailings
ranging from seven to 67 days. No matter how long their chosen sailing, Oceania
Cruises guests can dive deeper into each destination, as the line's small ships
spend between 30 and 50 percent more time in each port than premium cruise
lines, including many overnight stays. Once ashore, guests can choose from
hundreds of excursions in each port of call catering to a wealth of interests,
including food, wine, history, architecture, and local culture.
Intriguing
itineraries explore world-famous cities such as London, Copenhagen, Seattle, Berlin, Stockholm,
and Reykjavik alongside holiday islands including Ibiza,
Mykonos, Crete, Rhodes, and Santorini. Additionally, these itineraries
offer the chance to explore further, with the line's small ships visiting
places rather less expected, such as Trapani, Sicily; Tórshavn, Faroe
Islands; Arrecife, Lanzarote, Canary Islands; Mandal, Norway;
Liepaja, Latvia; and Lysekil, Sweden.
The
2026 Collection Highlights
The
return of Riviera™ to Alaska in 2026, where 14 itineraries
will showcase the local culture, soaring glaciers, and pristine wilderness of
"The Last Frontier."
Travelers
can sail the Mediterranean aboard Allura™, Insignia™, and Nautica™, offering
more than 50 distinct itineraries ranging from seven to 14 days.
Vista™,
Marina™, and Insignia will reign supreme in the Baltics,
Scandinavia, British Isles, Iceland, and Greenland with more
than two dozen itineraries ranging from seven to 18 days.
A
special highlight of the collection includes Marina's Solar Eclipse Cruise
sailing from Copenhagen to Reykjavik departing on July
30, which positions travelers in the path of totality for the 2026 Solar
Eclipse. Guests will enjoy extensive onboard programming including an onboard
eclipse viewing party, signature cocktail offerings, and special cooking
demonstrations. In addition, renowned expert astronomer Dennis Mammana will
be on board as the guest enrichment speaker and will be narrating the actual
eclipse.
Alaska
Season:
May - September
Explore
the best of Alaska in exceptional style aboard the intimate,
1,250-guest Riviera. Discover the soaring glaciers, pristine wilderness
and unique local culture of the region paired with Riviera's luxurious ambiance
and many gourmet culinary experiences. Each new day brings exciting adventures
such as witnessing the beauty of Hubbard Glacier from aboard the ship; while
days ashore mean opportunities for helicopter flightseeing with local experts,
Zodiac boat expeditions, wildlife safaris in old-growth rainforests and so much
more.
The
2026 Collection offers 14 diverse itineraries aboard Riviera, featuring
marquee ports of call including Juneau, Ketchikan, and Sitka and
boutique ports including Klawock, Wrangell, and Haines are
featured.
Mediterranean
Season:
April - December
From
impressive ruins and atmospheric old quarters to thriving food scenes and
sun-drenched beaches, our Mediterranean cruises offer the perfect combination
of old-world beauty and modern charisma. Visit a winery overlooking the caldera
in Santorini and travel back in time to the ancient Greco-Roman world while in
Ephesus. Drive into the hills of medieval Èze, glide through Capri's magical
Blue Grotto and savor lunch with chilled rosé overlooking the sea. Famed
attractions such as Istanbul's Blue Mosque, the Vatican Museums
in Rome, and La Sagrada Família in Barcelona are but the
beginning of adventures. The slopes of Sicily, the whitewashed villages of
Andalusia and the Italian Riviera become playgrounds on these unforgettable
Mediterranean voyages.
With
sailings aboard Allura, Insignia, and Nautica, travelers
can choose from over 50 itineraries ranging from seven to 14 days, framed by
iconic cities including Barcelona, Rome (Civitavecchia), Athens (Piraeus), Istanbul, Lisbon,
and Monte Carlo.
Baltic,
Scandinavia, and Northern Europe
Season:
May – September
A
region of epic tales where rolling forests give way to chic cities, the Baltic,
Scandinavia and Northern Europe regions are a vibrant blend of
medieval old towns, cutting-edge culture capitals and majestic natural beauty.
Marvel at dramatic landscapes of sprawling lava fields and imposing glaciers
in Iceland, sail the breathtaking fjords of Norway and unlock
the secrets of the Scottish Highlands and Shetland Islands. These voyages
invite you to experience some of the most memorable and diverse treasures in
these iconic destinations which are best explored by sea.
With
sailings aboard Vista, Marina, and Insignia, travelers can
choose from more than 25 voyages ranging from seven to 18 days with overnight
stays in cities including Stockholm, Berlin, and Reykjavik.
Canada &
New England
Season:
September - October
Oceania
Cruises' itineraries in Canada and New England are thoughtfully
designed to showcase the beauty and breadth of these distinctive and enchanting
regions. Explore the highlights of ever-popular destinations such as Portland,
with its vibrant culinary scene, the fascinating maritime heritage of Halifax,
and the storied architecture of Quebec City.
Travelers
can choose from four different 11-day itineraries aboard Vista, featuring
calls in Montreal, Sydney and Boston, alongside
lesser-known ports such as Charlottetown and Havre-Saint-Pierre.
Transoceanic
Season:
October - November
While
the indulgence of days at sea to enjoy the ship's abundant amenities,
enrichment, and entertainment is incentive enough, transoceanic journeys offer
the unparalleled opportunity to experience some of the most remote ports of
call. Alongside Bora Bora in French Polynesia and San
Juan, Puerto Rico, are exotic and off-the-beaten-path boutique jewels that
offer perfect additions to your travel diary – think the adventure-laden Kauai,
dramatic Raiatea, exotic Tangier, and the beautiful Canary Islands. These
thoughtfully curated destinations create ideal voyages offering you the best of
both worlds, a harmonious blend of luxurious relaxation on board and immersive
experiences ashore.
Oceania
Cruises offers four transoceanic itineraries ranging from 14 to 15 days with
boutique ports of call including Kailua-Kona, Hawaii; Arrecife
(Lanzarote), Canary Islands; and Nuku Hiva, French Polynesia.
