Designed for curious travelers, the new in-flight enrichment program will offer exclusive access to influential figures and leading experts from the worlds 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 experience of its guests Oceania Cruises® presents Curated Conversations, a new series of onboard events designed to inspire travelers through conversations with prominent figures from the worlds of technology, film, culture, and the arts.
The program will debut on select cruises in 2027 and will feature distinguished guests such as Steve Wozniak, who will be on board the Oceania Allura™, and renowned actress and director Karen Allen, who will be on the Oceania Vista®. Thanks to this initiative, passengers will have the opportunity to hear firsthand about these figures’ experiences, 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 at 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 on board, our guests seek moments of authentic connection, and Curated Conversations has been designed precisely to deliver that experience.”
Conversations, Not Lectures
Unlike traditional keynote speeches, 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 themselves to steer the conversation and delve deeper into the topics that interest them most.
Karen Allen will discuss her artistic career
Award-winning actress and director Karen Allen, whose career spans film, television, and theater, will speak about the art of storytelling, creativity, and her extensive professional career. Internationally known for her roles in *Raiders of the LostArk*, *Starman*, and *Scrooged*, Allen will draw on decades of experience both in front of and behind the camera.
Passengers will be able to sail with her on a cruise from Los Angeles to Papeete aboard the Oceania Vista from November 11 to 28, 2027.
Steve Wozniak will speak 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 insights 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, while reviewing the milestones of his career as one of Silicon Valley’s icons.
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’ exclusive adults-only atmosphere provides the perfect setting for enriching conversations and building authentic connections. Whether it’s continuing a discussion over dinner, sharing perspectives with fellow travelers, or rediscovering personal interests, Curated Conversations aims to foster meaningful interaction that complements 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 the renowned array of cultural experiences offered aboard Oceania Cruises.
The company has also announced that it plans to add new special guests to the " Curated Conversations" program, whose names will be announced shortly.
