Oceania Cruises has announced its 2026 Collection of Voyages, which will be available for booking from 24 October 2024.

The collection offers more than 100 itineraries, including 35 Grand Voyages, across destinations such as Alaska, the Mediterranean, and Northern Europe. The line’s six small, ultra-premium ships are designed to explore both well-known and lesser-visited ports.

Frank A. Del Rio, president of Oceania Cruises, highlighted the appeal of small-ship cruising: “On board our intimate ships, guests can tailor their experience exactly as they wish... The convenience of small-ship cruising allows travellers to unpack only once and seamlessly explore iconic cities and hidden treasures.”

Oceania Cruises’ 2026 Collection offers a wide range of sailings across several regions, each featuring unique itineraries:

  • Alaska (May – September 2026): The Riviera returns to Alaska with 14 itineraries, exploring famous ports like Juneau, Ketchikan, and Sitka, alongside boutique stops in Klawock, Wrangell, and Haines. Passengers will experience the beauty of glaciers and wilderness, with opportunities for helicopter tours, wildlife safaris, and Zodiac expeditions.

  • Mediterranean (April – December 2026): With over 50 sailings on Allura, Insignia, and Nautica, the Mediterranean itineraries offer a blend of old-world charm and modern luxury. Guests can explore iconic destinations like Santorini, Ephesus, and the Amalfi Coast, as well as enjoy excursions to historical sites and renowned wine regions.

  • Northern Europe & Baltics (May – September 2026): Travellers can sail aboard Vista, Marina, and Insignia to cities like Stockholm, Berlin, and Reykjavik, with overnight stays in key destinations. These 25 voyages highlight the scenic beauty of Norway’s fjords and Iceland’s dramatic landscapes, alongside cultural capitals in the Baltics and Scandinavia.

  • Canada & New England (September – October 2026): Vista offers four 11-day itineraries through these regions, visiting popular cities like Portland, Halifax, and Quebec City, alongside lesser-known destinations such as Charlottetown and Havre-Saint-Pierre.

  • Transoceanic Voyages (October – November 2026): Four transoceanic cruises, ranging from 14 to 15 days, will visit remote and exotic locations like Bora Bora, San Juan, and the Canary Islands. These itineraries provide travellers the chance to experience off-the-beaten-path ports like Kauai, Tangier, and Nuku Hiva in French Polynesia.
