Oceania Cruises®, the world’s leading culinary- and destination-focused cruise line, is spotlighting its festive voyages for the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 seasons offering stress-free celebrations, fascinating ports, and exquisite feasts.


The diverse selection of more than 40 voyages invites travellers to explore in whichever corner of the world best inspires their holiday cheer: celebrate a white-sand Christmas in the Caribbean, an opulent Hanukkah in East Asia, or a colourful New Year’s Eve in South America.


The festive season aboard Oceania Cruises’ small, luxurious ships is the perfect chance for guests to relax and enjoy a host of festivities which include Christmas carollers during embarkation, glistening evening performances on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, and a decadent brunch on New Year’s Day, following the Champagne New Year’s Eve celebrations the night prior. A statuesque menorah stands tall and bright with nightly lighting ceremonies throughout Hanukkah, and classic carols float through the ship throughout the voyage from a nearby string quartet.


Oceania Cruises’ simply MORETM value promise means there are holiday gifts for all guests to enjoy as virtually everything is included in the voyage fare: complimentary vintage Champagnes, premium wines and international beers during lunch and dinner; a shore excursion credit of up to $1,400 per stateroom (credit varies by voyage length); all speciality gourmet dining and Wi-Fi. Created to elevate the guest experience, simply MORE means travellers receive ultimate value on top of an ultra-premium cruise experience.


“There’s no better place to spend the holidays than in your home away from home aboard our beautiful ships,” says Frank A. Del Rio, President of Oceania Cruises. “Leave the stress of the season behind at home when you board Oceania Cruises’ ships and relax and enjoy as lavish festivities are planned, sumptuous meals are cooked, and decadent drinks are poured. Traditional holiday dishes and new favourites can be enjoyed in Oceania Cruises’ always included speciality dining venues and the spectacular Grand Dining Room, or of course in your beautifully appointed stateroom.”
