Oceania Cruises invites travelers to discover the cultural richness of the Caribbean, its sun-drenched islands, and the diversity of its coastal destinations aboard the company’s newest and recently renovated ships, all of which feature a sophisticated, adults-only atmosphere.
The itineraries, which last between 7 and 14 days, have been designed to allow guests to explore the region from a different perspective.
Sailing aboard the elegant and welcoming Oceania Marina™, Oceania Vista®, and Oceania Allura™ during the Caribbean season in late 2026 will allow you to discover the region’s extraordinary diversity and cultural richness.
The itineraries include popular destinations such as Oranjestad (Aruba), Cozumel (Mexico), and Montego Bay (Jamaica), as well as lesser-known boutique ports, including Basseterre (St. Kitts and Nevis), Philipsburg (St. Maarten), and Pointe-à-Pitre (Guadeloupe).
Travelers will be able to immerse themselves in the flavors of the Caribbean, its lush landscapes, its wildlife, and its vibrant cultures thanks to a wide selection of small-group shore excursions designed to showcase the region's diversity.
Among the available experiences are a visit to a beekeeping cooperative in Saint Lucia, browsing the antique stalls at the Village Artisanal Sainte-Anne in Pointe-à-Pitre, tasting Dutch cheeses and wines in the historic district of Willemstad (Curaçao)—a UNESCO World Heritage Site—, learning about the many varieties of plantains grown in Martinique and their economic importance, or taking part in a chef-led tour of an organic farm followed by a seaside lunch in Tortola.
“Our Caribbean cruises highlight the region’s extraordinary diversity and richness, from its most famous islands to lesser-known destinations. In addition, our shore excursions offer even the most seasoned travelers a new way to discover places they may have visited many times before,” said Jason Montague, Chief Luxury Officer at Oceania Cruises. “Whether sailing aboard our two newest ships, the Oceania Allura and the Oceania Vista, or exploring the newly renovated Oceania Marina, guests will enjoy immersive days of exploration before returning to the refined, adults-only atmosphere and elegant accommodations that make for the perfect retreat at sea.”
An onboard experience focused on cuisine and the destination
Beyond the ports of call, the onboard experience is also designed to enrich the journey.
Passengers can enjoy Chef’s Market Dinners—themed dinners held at the Terrace Café on select evenings—as well as hone their culinary skills at The Culinary Center, where instructor chefs lead hands-on classes inspired by the ingredients and culinary traditions of each destination.
The spirit of the Caribbean also extends to other activities on board, such as LYNC’s online classes, where guests learn photography techniques to capture the region’s spectacular landscapes and coastlines.
