Oceania Cruises Highlights Upcoming Holiday Season Voyages

Oceania Cruises is highlighting some of the over 40 voyages that will run over winter holidays for the upcoming 2024-25 and 2025-26 seasons.

Oceania Cruises Announces New Voyages on Riviera

Oceania Cruises is detailing its holiday voyages for the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 seasons, offering guests stress-free celebrations filled with feasts and beautiful ports of call.

The holiday season on Oceania’s small ships is a great opportunity for guests to enjoy festivities such as Christmas carolers during embarkation, 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 large menorah will stand tall with nightly lighting ceremonies throughout Hanukkah, and classic carols will float through the ship during the cruise from a nearby string quartet.
