Oceania Cruises® Unveils Holiday and New Year’s Itineraries for the 2026-27 and 2027-28 Seasons | News
Celebrate the holidays at sea with Oceania Cruises® aboard its luxury ships in Europe, Asia, Australia and the Americas during the 2026-27 and 2027-28 seasons.
With voyages ranging from a week to nearly 40 days, the line’s intimate ships offer the ultimate way to relax and unwind while celebrating the season. Guests will enjoy live Christmas music and performances, special festive dishes, champagne toasts to celebrate Christmas and welcome the New Year, and nightly menorah lighting during Hanukkah in the inviting atmosphere of Oceania Cruises’ elegant seasonal decor.
The choice of leisure trips covers almost the entire fleet, from the intimate Oceania Insignia™ to the recently launched Oceania Allura™ during the 2026-2027 season. The following year, holiday sailings will be introduced on board Oceania Sonata™ and Oceania Aurelia™, both making their debut in 2027.
The itineraries include some of the world’s most fascinating destinations – from sun-drenched Caribbean islands and the biodiverse coastlines of Peru and Chile, to cultural capitals like Bangkok and Rome, and the dramatic natural landscapes of destinations like Vietnam and New Zealand. Each voyage reflects the blend of cultural exploration and gastronomic 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 cruise experiences through the Panama Canal or New Zealand’s Milford Sound.
“Our holiday itineraries are designed to combine the traditions of the holidays 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 provide a rare opportunity to celebrate in an extraordinary setting, while enjoying the exceptional cuisine, service and warm elegance that define Oceania Cruises.”
Oceania Cruises offers travelers a distinctive way to mark the holidays, through imaginative itineraries and onboard enrichment programs designed to deepen guests’ connection with the destinations visited.
On many sailings, guests can delve deeper into local cultures through hands-on cooking classes inspired by regional cuisine at The Culinary Center, or head ashore on a chef-led Culinary Discovery Tour for insider access to local food scenes. Alternatively, travelers can choose to explore ancient archaeological sites or natural wonders on small-group tours or wander local markets in search of meaningful memories while tasting new favorite foods and drinks.
