Sarah Bretz, ContributorOceania Cruises has announced that travel expert and TV show host Samantha Brown will be hosting one of the inaugural sailings for the line’s new ship Allura next summer.
Guests are invited to join the TV personality on a 10-day Mediterranean voyage aboard Allura, which will debut in mid-July 2025. Departing on August 5th, the cruise will sail from Monte Carlo to Athens.
For over 20 years, Brown has traversed continents, experienced many different cultures, and tasted adventure — applying her unique brand of warmth and inclusion along the way. “I am so thrilled to be able to join my fans and fellow travelers on Oceania Cruises’ newest ship, Allura,” said Samantha Brown, host of ‘Samantha Brown’s Places to Love.’ “I’m looking forward to revisiting some of the places I have been to, like Rome and the Amalfi Coast, and discovering new places in Turkey and Greece. It’s going to be an epic trip!”
The special hosted cruise will feature onboard programming such as a travel talk with a Q&A portion in the theater with Brown, a welcome cocktail reception, destination-themed Chef’s Market Dinners in the Terrace Café, and Oceania Cruises’ famous gala brunch. Additionally, she will join a select number of shore excursions during the sailing.
“We are thrilled to welcome Samantha aboard Allura. Her obvious passion for authentic travel experiences aligns perfectly with our mission to offer guests unforgettable journeys,” said Frank A. Del Rio, President of Oceania Cruises. “With Samantha’s extensive destination expertise and the unmatched elegance of our newest ship, this voyage promises to be a truly extraordinary adventure from jet-set Monte Carlo to historic Athens – via Italian cities, Greek islands, and Turkish resorts.”
