Oceania Cruises presents Christmas and New Year cruises aboard its ships through Europe, Asia, Australia and America during the 2026-27 and 2027-28 seasons.
With voyages ranging from one week to nearly 40 days, the ships offer the ultimate way to relax and unwind while celebrating the holidays. Guests will enjoy live Christmas music and entertainment, specialty festive cuisine, champagne toasts to celebrate Christmas and welcome the New Year, and the nightly lighting of the menorah during Hanukkah—all within the inviting atmosphere of Oceania Cruises' elegant seasonal décor.
This selection of voyages encompasses nearly the entire fleet, from the intimate Oceania Insignia™ to the newly launched Oceania Allura™ during the 2026-27 season. The following year, holiday cruises will be added aboard Oceania Sonata™ and Oceania Aurelia™, both scheduled to debut in 2027.
The itineraries include some of the world's most captivating destinations: from the sun-drenched islands of the Caribbean and the biodiverse coastlines of Peru and Chile to cultural capitals like Bangkok and Rome, as well as the spectacular natural landscapes of Vietnam and New Zealand. Each voyage reflects the blend of cultural exploration and culinary excellence that defines Oceania Cruises, the world's premier destination-focused luxury cruise line.
Some itineraries include overnight stays in port in cities such as Barcelona, Bali and Singapore for deeper exploration, plus scenic sailing experiences through the Panama Canal or Milford Sound in New Zealand.
“Our holiday voyages are designed to blend the traditions of the season with the excitement of global exploration,” said Jason Montague, Director of Luxury at Oceania Cruises. “Whether ringing in the New Year in a vibrant city or spending Christmas Day in a remote tropical paradise, these voyages offer a unique opportunity to celebrate in extraordinary settings while enjoying the exceptional cuisine, service, and warm elegance that define Oceania Cruises.”
On many trips, guests can immerse themselves in local cultures through hands-on cooking classes inspired by regional cuisine at The Culinary Center, or participate in chef-led culinary excursions to discover the local food scene from the inside. They can also explore ancient archaeological sites or natural wonders on small-group tours, or browse local markets for unique souvenirs while sampling new dishes and favorite beverages.
