Designed for curious travelers, the new onboard enrichment program will offer exclusive access to influential figures and leading figures in the world of technology, film, culture and the arts.
Travel has the power to inspire lifelong learning, broaden horizons, and spark curiosity. As part of its ongoing commitment to enriching the guest experience, Oceania Cruises® presents Curated Conversations, a new series of onboard encounters designed to inspire travelers through conversations with leading figures in technology, film, culture, and the arts.
The program will debut on select cruise ships during 2027 and will feature guests such as Steve Wozniak, who will participate aboard the Oceania Allura™, and renowned actress and director Karen Allen, who will be present on the Oceania Vista®. Thanks to this initiative, passengers will have the opportunity to hear firsthand accounts from these prominent figures, exchange ideas, and engage in intimate conversations in an exclusive, luxurious setting.
“Curated Conversations reflects the spirit of exploration that defines a voyage with Oceania Cruises,” said Jason Montague, Chief Luxury Officer of Oceania Cruises. “Our guests are naturally curious travelers who value discovery as much as the destinations themselves. This program creates unique opportunities to connect with extraordinary people whose experiences and perspectives inspire new ways of thinking. Whether exploring the world ashore or sharing ideas onboard, our guests seek moments of authentic connection, and Curated Conversations has been designed precisely to deliver that experience.”
Conversations, not lectures
Unlike traditional lectures, Curated Conversations focuses on dialogue. The sessions will be moderated by the cruise director in an interview format and will conclude with an open question-and-answer period, allowing passengers to guide the conversation and delve deeper into the topics that interest them most.
Karen Allen will share her artistic journey
Award-winning actress and director Karen Allen , whose career spans film, television, and theater, will discuss the art of storytelling, creativity, and her extensive professional experience. Internationally known for her roles in Raiders of the Lost Ark , Starman , and Scrooged , Allen will bring decades of experience both in front of and behind the camera.
Passengers will be able to sail alongside her on an itinerary between Los Angeles and Papeete, aboard the Oceania Vista, from November 11 to 28, 2027.
Steve Wozniak will talk about the technological revolution
For his part, Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple Inc. and one of the great innovators of modern computing, will share his vision on the birth of the personal computer revolution, as well as offer a perspective on his current work in the fields of technology and education, reviewing the milestones of his career as one of the icons of Silicon Valley.
This experience will be available during a round-trip cruise from Miami, aboard the Oceania Allura, between January 27 and February 5, 2027.
An ideal environment for the exchange of ideas
Oceania Cruises' adults-only environment provides the perfect setting for enriching conversations and authentic connections. Whether extending discussions over dinner, sharing opinions with fellow travelers, or rediscovering personal interests, Curated Conversations aims to foster meaningful interaction that enhances every voyage with the company.
The program will be rolled out gradually across the entire fleet and will feature an ever-expanding list of distinguished guests. Each participant will be selected not only for their professional achievements but also for their ability to inspire dialogue and enrich Oceania Cruises' renowned offering of cultural experiences.
The company has also announced that it plans to add new special guests to the Curated Conversations, whose names will be revealed soon.
