The line will mark a milestone with its first-ever full winter season of voyages in the Mediterranean aboard Oceania Allura™, featuring 17 voyages spanning November 2027 through March 2028. Ranging from nine to 26 days and sailing between destinations including Barcelona, Rome, Athens and Istanbul, these shoulder-season voyages offer a fresh perspective on some of the region’s most iconic cities, coastal towns and islands. Guests can experience a slower pace and cooler temperatures while exploring ashore, from quiet piazzas and artisan markets to leisurely afternoons immersed in local culture.
“Europe is one of the most beloved cruise regions, and we are thrilled to offer our guests year-round opportunities to sail with us,” said Jason Montague, Chief Luxury Officer of Oceania Cruises. “With more ways to explore the continent, from weeklong escapes to longer, unhurried journeys across the seasons, we’re giving guests the freedom to experience Europe entirely on their own terms.”
Each itinerary is designed to offer guests the chance to explore new places and rediscover favorites through a new lens, with hundreds of shore excursion choices. Oceania Cruises is renowned for its imaginative itineraries which pair landmark capitals such as Rome, Paris, London, Barcelona and Istanbul with lesser-explored gems including Golfo Aranci in Sardinia, Gythion and Skiathos in Greece, Kotor in Montenegro, Taranto in Puglia, and Çanakkale, gateway to the ancient ruins of Troy. Overnight and extended stays in destinations such as Bordeaux, Hamburg and Florence/Pisa/Tuscany give guests more time to settle into each place and experience it more fully.
Across every voyage, guests can take advantage of small-group shore excursions and onboard experiences designed to bring the region’s culture, history and traditions to life. From exploring the vineyards of the Iberian Peninsula and wandering medieval cobbled streets in Northern Europe to uncovering ancient sites across Greece and Turkey, guests can connect more deeply with each destination.
On board the line’s small, luxurious ships, gastronomy sits at the heart of every voyage. Guests can experience The Finest Cuisine at Sea® not only on board but woven into each destination. In the Adriatic and Ionian, guests can join one of Oceania Cruises’ signature Culinary Discovery Tours™, exploring local markets and family-run producers before sitting down to a chef-led lunch that showcases the region’s finest ingredients. Throughout Europe, local flavors and culinary traditions enrich every journey, both ashore and on board.
