Oceania Cruises, the premier name in destination- and culinary-focused travel, has unveiled its highly anticipated 2026 Collection of Voyages, offering a wide array of immersive itineraries spanning from Alaska’s rugged wilderness to the sunlit coasts of the Mediterranean and the historic splendours of Northern Europe. Bookings for these exceptional voyages will open on 23rd October 2024, inviting discerning travellers to explore both iconic and less-trodden destinations aboard the line’s renowned small ships.
Expanding Horizons with Over 100 Itineraries
Oceania Cruises’ 2026 Collection encompasses more than 100 itineraries, including 35 Grand Voyages that offer extended exploration in unrivalled comfort. These meticulously curated voyages highlight the distinct appeal of small-ship cruising, where guests can relish both the destination and the onboard experience. Frank A. Del Rio, President of Oceania Cruises, notes, “Onboard our intimate ships, guests can tailor their experience exactly as they wish, whether indulging in our gourmet dining or setting out on a shore excursion—the choice is theirs.”
With capacities of just 684 to 1,250 guests, Oceania’s ships grant unparalleled access to lesser-visited ports while providing a seamless, luxurious travel experience. Whether journeying through the dramatic fjords of Norway, stepping back in time in the ancient cities of Greece, or witnessing the pristine beauty of Alaska, guests can explore the world without the hassle of large crowds or long queues.
Small Ships, Grand Adventures
The unique ability of Oceania’s small ships to dock at more intimate ports sets it apart in the industry. Its 2026 itineraries will span seven to 67 days, with voyages taking in destinations as varied as Vancouver, Papeete, Istanbul, and Reykjavik. These smaller vessels offer between 30 and 50 percent more time in port than larger premium lines, allowing guests to dive deeply into each location. Numerous overnight stays further enhance the journey, offering time to explore vibrant nightlife or simply soak in the local culture.
Ashore, guests have the opportunity to select from hundreds of excursions that cater to every interest—from culinary tours and wine tastings to exploring architectural marvels and historical landmarks. These shore experiences promise to enrich every voyage, with stops at world-famous cities such as London, Copenhagen, Seattle, and Barcelona, alongside hidden gems like Trapani in Sicily, Tórshavn in the Faroe Islands, and Mandal in Norway.
Riviera Returns to Alaska
In 2026, the Riviera returns to Alaska, offering 14 expertly designed itineraries that showcase the region’s natural beauty and cultural richness. Guests can experience the awe-inspiring Hubbard Glacier, explore Alaska’s historic towns like Juneau, and take part in thrilling excursions such as helicopter flightseeing and Zodiac boat expeditions. The intimate setting of Riviera, with just 1,250 guests, enhances the sense of adventure, while the ship’s luxurious onboard experience ensures that guests return each evening to an oasis of comfort.
Mediterranean Bliss
For those drawn to the sun-drenched coasts of the Mediterranean, Oceania Cruises presents more than 50 distinct itineraries aboard its ships Allura, Insignia, and Nautica. These voyages, which range from seven to 14 days, offer access to storied cities including Barcelona, Rome, Athens, and Monte Carlo. From the blue waters of Santorini to the ancient ruins of Ephesus, travellers can immerse themselves in the rich history and vibrant cultures of this fabled region.
Highlights of these Mediterranean journeys include visits to both celebrated and lesser-known destinations, such as the whitewashed villages of Andalusia, the stunning cliffs of the Amalfi Coast, and the medieval streets of Èze. Each day promises a new adventure, whether it be a leisurely lunch overlooking the sea or a visit to one of the world’s most famous architectural marvels, such as the Vatican Museums in Rome or La Sagrada Família in Barcelona.
Northern Europe’s Timeless Beauty
Sailing through the Baltics, Scandinavia, and Northern Europe, Oceania’s 2026 itineraries take guests to some of the world’s most awe-inspiring landscapes. Vista, Marina, and Insignia will offer more than 25 voyages, ranging from seven to 18 days, exploring destinations from Stockholm to Reykjavik. These itineraries highlight the striking contrasts of the region—where medieval cities sit alongside cutting-edge cultural capitals, and the wild beauty of Iceland’s glaciers meets the cosmopolitan charm of Berlin and Stockholm.
A particular highlight is the Solar Eclipse Cruise aboard Marina, departing from Copenhagen on 30th July 2026. This special voyage positions guests in the path of totality for the solar eclipse and includes unique onboard programming such as an eclipse viewing party and lectures by renowned astronomer Dennis Mammana.
The Best of Canada, New England, and Beyond
As the seasons change, Oceania Cruises offers enchanting voyages through Canada and New England, with itineraries designed to capture the region’s autumnal beauty. With ports of call including Portland, Halifax, and Quebec City, guests can delve into the rich maritime history and cultural charm of these cities.
For those seeking longer, transoceanic adventures, Oceania Cruises also presents four itineraries ranging from 14 to 15 days. These journeys provide the opportunity to experience remote and exotic locations like Kauai, Tangier, and Bora Bora while offering ample time at sea to enjoy the ship’s abundant amenities and fine dining.
