Sarah Bretz, ContributorOceania Cruises has announced its 2026 schedule, which will feature over 100 itineraries plus 25 Grand Voyages.
Guests will have the opportunity to travel the world on cruises ranging from seven to 67 days, offering between 30 and 50 percent more time in each port than premium cruise lines — including many overnight stays. Itineraries will explore world-famous cities like London, Copenhagen, Seattle, Berlin, Stockholm, and Reykjavik.
Holiday island destinations will include Ibiza, Mykonos, Crete, Rhodes, and Santorini. The sailings will also offer the opportunity to explore further, with Oceania’s small ships visiting less-expected places like Trapani, Sicily; Tórshavn, Faroe Islands; Arrecife, Lanzarote, Canary Islands; Mandal, Norway; Liepaja, Latvia; and Lysekil, Sweden.
2026 Collection Highlights
Highlights of Oceania Cruises’ 2026 schedule include:
- The return of Riviera to Alaska in 2026, where 14 itineraries will showcase the local culture, soaring glaciers, and pristine wilderness of The Last Frontier.
- Travelers can sail the Mediterranean aboard Allura, Insignia, and Nautica, offering more than 50 distinct itineraries ranging from seven to 14 days.
- Vista, Marina, and Insignia will reign supreme in the Baltics, Scandinavia, British Isles, Iceland, and Greenland with more than two dozen itineraries ranging from seven to 18 days.
- A special highlight of the collection includes Marina‘s Solar Eclipse Cruise sailing from Copenhagen to Reykjavik departing on July 30th, which positions travelers in the path of totality for the 2026 Solar Eclipse. Guests will enjoy extensive onboard programming including an onboard eclipse viewing party, signature cocktail offerings, and special cooking demonstrations. In addition, expert astronomer Dennis Mammana will be on board as the guest enrichment speaker and will be narrating the actual eclipse.
Alaska: May – September
Passengers will have the opportunity to explore the best of Alaska in style aboard the intimate 1,250-guest Riviera. They’ll be able to witness the beauty of Hubbard Glacier from aboard the ship, and days ashore might include helicopter flightseeing with local experts, Zodiac boat expeditions, wildlife safaris in old-growth rainforests, and more.
The 2026 Collection offers 14 diverse itineraries in Alaska, featuring marquee ports of call including Juneau, Ketchikan, and Sitka and boutique ports including Klawock, Wrangell, and Haines.
Mediterranean: April – December
From impressive ruins and atmospheric old quarters to thriving food scenes and sun-drenched beaches, Mediterranean voyages offer the combination of old-world beauty and modern charisma. Visit a winery overlooking the caldera in Santorini and travel back in time to the ancient Greco-Roman world while in Ephesus. Drive into the hills of medieval Èze, glide through Capri’s magical Blue Grotto and savor lunch with chilled rosé overlooking the sea. Famed attractions such as Istanbul’s Blue Mosque, the Vatican Museums in Rome, and La Sagrada Família in Barcelona are but the beginning of adventures. The slopes of Sicily, the whitewashed villages of Andalusia, and the Italian Riviera become playgrounds on these unforgettable Mediterranean voyages.
Travelers can choose from voyages aboard Allura, Insignia, and Nautica in the Mediterranean on over 50 itineraries ranging in length from seven to 14 days.
Baltic, Scandinavia, and Northern Europe: May – September
The Baltic, Scandinavia, and Northern Europe regions are a vibrant blend of medieval old towns, cutting-edge culture capitals, and majestic natural beauty. Guests can marvel at dramatic landscapes of sprawling lava fields and imposing glaciers in Iceland, sail the stunning fjords of Norway, and unlock the secrets of the Scottish Highlands and Shetland Islands. These voyages invite passengers to experience some of the most memorable and diverse treasures in these iconic destinations which are best explored by sea.
With sailings aboard Vista, Marina, and Insignia, travelers can choose from more than 25 voyages ranging from seven to 18 days. Overnight stays will include cities like Stockholm, Berlin, and Reykjavik.
Canada and New England: September – October
Oceania Cruises’ itineraries in Canada and New England have been designed to showcase the beauty and breadth of these distinctive and enchanting regions. Guests can explore the highlights of destinations such as Portland, with its vibrant culinary scene, the fascinating maritime heritage of Halifax, and the storied architecture of Quebec City.
Travelers can choose from four different 11-day itineraries aboard Vista, featuring calls in Montreal, Sydney, and Boston, alongside lesser-known ports such as Charlottetown and Havre-Saint-Pierre.
Transoceanic: October – November
While the indulgence of days at sea to enjoy the ship’s amenities, entertainment, and dining is incentive enough, transoceanic journeys offer the opportunity to experience some of the most remote ports of call. Alongside Bora Bora in French Polynesia and San Juan, Puerto Rico, are exotic and off-the-beaten-path boutique destinations like Kauai, Raiatea, Tangier, and the Canary Islands. These curated destinations create ideal voyages offering the best of both worlds: a blend of luxurious relaxation on board and immersive experiences ashore.
Oceania Cruises offers four transoceanic itineraries ranging from 14 to 15 days with boutique ports of call including Kailua-Kona, Hawaii; Arrecife (Lanzarote), Canary Islands; and Nuku Hiva, French Polynesia.
