Celebrate the holiday season in unforgettable style with Oceania Cruises aboard its elegant small ships sailing throughout Europe, Asia, Australia, and the Americas during the 2026–27 and 2027–28 seasons. Offering voyages from one week to nearly 40 days, Oceania provides the perfect blend of relaxation, discovery, and festive celebration at sea. Guests can immerse themselves in the spirit of the season with live holiday entertainment, gourmet seasonal cuisine, Christmas Champagne toasts, New Year’s celebrations, and nightly menorah lightings throughout Hanukkah — all set against the warm, sophisticated ambiance of beautifully decorated ships.
The holiday voyage collection spans nearly the entire fleet of Oceania Cruises, from the intimate Oceania Insignia to the newly launched Oceania Allura during the 2026–27 season. In 2027, the line will further expand its offerings with the debut of Oceania Sonata and Oceania Aurelia, both set to host festive holiday sailings in 2027–28.
These extraordinary itineraries showcase some of the world’s most captivating destinations — from the sun-soaked Caribbean and the dramatic coastlines of Peru and Chile to iconic cultural capitals such as Bangkok and Rome, as well as the breathtaking landscapes of Vietnam and New Zealand. Each sailing embodies Oceania’s signature blend of immersive destination experiences and exceptional culinary excellence. Select voyages feature overnight stays in sought-after ports including Barcelona, Bali, and Singapore, allowing guests more time to explore, while scenic cruising experiences through the Panama Canal and New Zealand’s majestic Milford Sound add even more unforgettable moments to the journey.
“Our holiday voyages are designed to combine the traditions of the festive season with the excitement of global exploration,” said Jason Montague. “Whether guests are ringing in the New Year in a vibrant international city or celebrating Christmas in a secluded tropical paradise, these sailings offer a truly memorable way to experience the holidays — complemented by the exceptional cuisine, personalized service, and elegant atmosphere that define Oceania Cruises.”
Beyond the destinations themselves, Oceania enriches the holiday experience with immersive onboard and shoreside programming designed to deepen guests’ connection to the cultures they visit. Travelers can participate in hands-on cooking classes at The Culinary Center inspired by regional flavors, join chef-led Culinary Discovery Tours for insider access to local food scenes, or explore ancient archaeological sites and natural wonders through curated small-group excursions. From wandering colorful local markets to discovering new favorite dishes and wines, each voyage offers meaningful opportunities for cultural discovery throughout the festive season.
