Sarah Bretz, ContributorOceania Cruises will be offering a variety of Grand Voyages in 2025, ranging from multi-month 111-day expeditions across the continents to shorter sailings exploring South America, Asia, Oceania, Europe, and North America.
Guests will have the opportunity to discover the mangrove-lined Prey Chak River in Sihanoukville, Cambodia, and spot diverse wildlife including the milky storks, or learn the fine art of Taiji (tai chi) from a master in Shanghai, China. In Togo, they’ll be able to witness a voo-doo ceremony from the village chief at Sanguera or explore the city of Agadir, set against the Atlas Mountains in Morocco, and wander through the city’s Coco Polizzi Medina.
“Our 2025 Grand Voyages offer our discerning guests the chance to explore the globe without the constraint of time, immersing themselves deeper into destinations with our enriching shore excursion offerings, before relaxing on board our small, luxurious ships,” commented Frank A. Del Rio, President of Oceania Cruises. “We are so proud of the incredible Grand Voyages on offer in 2025 and can’t wait to welcome our guests on board.”
Itineraries across Europe will provide the chance to visit iconic ports such as Oslo, Barcelona, Athens, and Santorini. Voyages in Latin America will offer opportunities for snorkeling in the blue sea in Ilhabela, go penguin watching in Uruguay, and drive into the Pampas for an authentic Guacho fiesta complete with empanadas and barbecues.
Oceania’s Allura, Vista, Marina, and Riviera are perfect for foodies, each featuring a hands-on cooking school at sea and a variety of Culinary Discovery Tours where guests can immerse themselves in local culinary traditions.
These tours include the ‘Chef-Led Foraging and Onboard Cooking Class’ in Helsinki, where guests can meander around the local market picking the best reindeer and cloudberries on offer before preparing regional dishes in the onboard Culinary Center. Alternatively, they can choose the ‘Hydroponic Farm Visit and Onboard Cooking Class’ in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and learn how to use ingredients from the farm in various dishes.
The line’s smaller ships, Nautica, Regatta, Sirena, and Insignia carry just 670 guests each. They have the ability to access smaller boutique ports, offering guests a yacht-like experience as they explore the world.
