Exceptional cuisine and the destinations themselves are hallmarks of Oceania Cruises’ luxury voyages as they sail around the world. Its seven, small ships offer an experience that immerses guests into the countries and cultures they visit. Oceania Cruises’ OLife in Europe means more time to explore with overnight and late evening departures while in port and shore excursions that feature cultural and culinary treasures. Onboard, OLife features a gourmet dining experience, superior service and a spa designed as a haven of escape to be enjoyed at the end of busy days of discovery.
Oceania Cruises offers curated itineraries sailing to the well-known and must-visit ports as well as to smaller ports and seaside villages that provide a more intimate local experience. Overnight port stays provide guests with more time in destinations to explore and engage themselves in the locale. Destination-intensive itineraries sail along the coastlines of the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, Scandinavia, British Isles, Ireland, Norway’s fjords, Iceland and Baltic capitals. Guests experience Oceania Cruises’ Mediterranean voyages to both favored and exclusive ports along the French and Italian Rivieras, the Greek Islands and more, with Saint-Tropez, Portofino, Positano and Patmos among the choices. And travelers should not miss their newest ship, Vista, with the Mediterranean, Northern Europe and the British Isles among her highly-anticipated 2023 inaugural season destinations. Highlights include overnight stays in Lisbon, Venice, Istanbul, Jerusalem and Bordeaux.
Shore excursions with Oceania Cruises immerse guests in the region with its Go Local Tours, Culinary Discovery Tours™, Food & Wine Trails Tours and Wellness Discovery Tours by Aquamar.
