Oceania Cruises is inviting travellers to celebrate the holidays aboard its luxurious ships. The cruise line offers gourmet meals, festive entertainment, and visits to exciting destinations during the 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 seasons.
Guests can choose from more than 40 holiday voyages. These include trips on the newest ship, Oceania Allura, which will join the fleet in July. Travellers can enjoy holiday spirit around the world — from island hopping in the South Pacific and cruising South Africa’s coastline to celebrating New Year’s Eve in vibrant South America.
Oceania Cruises’ small, elegant ships provide a special way to spend the holidays. The cruises offer more than just travel; they turn festive traditions into refined experiences. At embarkation, Christmas carollers welcome guests. On Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, there are special evening shows. New Year’s Eve is celebrated with Champagne toasts and a lively countdown. During Hanukkah, an elegant menorah is lit every evening to honor tradition with grace.
Jason Montague, Oceania Cruises’ chief luxury officer, said, “Our holiday voyages are designed to bring the magic of the season in a luxurious setting anywhere in the world. Guests enjoy inclusive celebrations with festive décor, entertainment, and lavish meals, all paired with our heartfelt service and the elegant atmosphere of our ships. This creates a truly memorable holiday at sea.”
Voyages vary in length from seven to 197 days. This range allows travellers to find trips that fit their schedules and interests. Options include a week-long New Year’s cruise in the Caribbean or a 77-day grand tour of the Americas. Holiday sailings also visit the coast of South Africa, cultural hotspots in Southeast Asia and the Indian Ocean, and the stunning lagoons of French Polynesia.
These festive cruises, available over the 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 holiday seasons, offer great value and unforgettable celebrations aboard Oceania Cruises.
