From long-awaited dreams to unforgettable destinations – luxury cruise line Oceania Cruises® turns the voyage into the destination
You step onto the deck. A gentle breeze catches the hem of your linen shirt as you gaze out across the horizon. The sun is beginning to dip, gilding the sea in molten gold. Behind you, a steward offers a chilled glass of Sauvignon Blanc.
Ahead of you lies Asia. Or perhaps Africa. Or a hidden coral atoll in the South Pacific you hadn’t heard of until now. Wherever you're headed, you already know this isn’t just a holiday. This is something else entirely.
It’s the journey you’ve dreamt of and now that day has come. It’s time to reward yourself with an eye-opening voyage that’s rich in culture, comfort and the kind of awe that lingers long after you return home.
With the launch of its eagerly anticipated 2026–2027 Tropics and Exotics Collection, Oceania Cruises invites travellers to step beyond the guidebook and embark on voyages that illuminate, inspire and indulge.
Featuring over 120 carefully curated itineraries across every corner of the globe – from the spice-scented souks of Africa to the emerald peaks of New Zealand – this is slow, soulful travel for those who want to be immersed in the places they visit.
A different kind of discovery
As you settle into your suite, the sense of spacious calm is immediate. No crowds, no queues. Just refined elegance, intuitive service and the quiet thrill of knowing that each day will bring new discoveries, without the stress of packing and unpacking, airports or agendas.
Soon, you find yourself sailing into the heart of exotic lands, places that challenge your assumptions and stir something within you. You wander through incense-filled temples in Thailand. You sip sweet mint tea in a Berber village deep in Morocco’s Atlas Mountains. You marvel as a pod of dolphins dance in the ship's wake off the coast of Fiji. With Oceania Cruises, discovery means submerging yourself in the world's rhythms.
The routes less travelled
Where you go is up to you. With itineraries ranging from 7 to 244 days, the Tropics and Exotics Collection gives you the freedom to chase summer across the hemispheres – or circle the entire globe.
In Asia and Africa, nearly 30 unique voyages take you from the energetic hum of Hong Kong to the serene mosques of the United Arab Emirates, through jungle-clad Philippine islands and into the mysterious ports of Western Africa. These are journeys rich in contrasts: modern cities giving way to ancient traditions, glittering skylines fading into desert silence.
Or perhaps you’ll follow the trade winds through the South Pacific, Australia and New Zealand, where nature still holds sway. Days melt into one another as you drift between sapphire lagoons, Maori heritage sites, dramatic fjords, and sun-soaked vineyards. You taste wines straight from the barrel in Margaret River. You join a traditional haka in Rotorua. You snorkel through coral gardens so vibrant they barely seem real.
Feel the tug of South America? Oceania Insignia’s 2027 Farewell Tour is a grand celebration of this immense and colourful continent. Dance in Rio, taste Malbec in Mendoza, paddle silently through the Amazon under a canopy of green.
And then there’s the Around the World Voyage: an epic 244-day sailing from Miami to New York aboard Oceania Vista. A once-in-a-lifetime journey through more than 100 ports, dozens of countries, and multiple continents. Time unravels. Borders blur.

Every voyage with Oceania Cruises offers The Finest Cuisine at Sea® and is a culinary adventure. As you dine in one of the ship’s acclaimed restaurants, perhaps indulging in seared scallops at The Grand Dining Room or sipping sake at the intimate Red Ginger, you begin to realise that food here is not merely sustenance. It’s storytelling.
Menus change with the regions, reflecting local ingredients and flavours. Chefs shop in local markets. Recipes honour traditional techniques. Each dish is a way of deepening your connection to the places you’re exploring. You might join a cooking class inspired by Peruvian ceviche or enjoy an evening wine pairing from a South African vineyard you visited earlier that day.

There’s something profoundly restorative about waking up at sea. With no traffic, no clocks, no deadlines, you begin to let go of the grind. You read more. You linger over breakfast. Days at sea are a quiet luxury, punctuated by poolside drinks, spa treatments, enrichment talks, or simply watching the ocean unfurl from a shaded chaise on deck.
You strike up easy conversations with like-minded travellers who have their stories to tell. The onboard atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed, with all the polish of a fine hotel and none of the fuss. And when land appears on the horizon again, you’re ready not just to see it but to feel it.
