The new holiday sailings program for 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 from Oceania Cruises offers more than 40 voyages to choose from, including sailings aboard the line’s newest ship, Oceania Allura, which joins the fleet in July. From island-hopping in the South Pacific and cruising around South Africa’s spectacular coastline to experiencing New Year’s Eve in South America, guests can fully immerse themselves in the holiday spirit in destinations all over the world. Festive traditions will be reimagined with “elegance and flair”, according to Oceania, with Christmas carollers welcoming guests during embarkation and evening entertainment performances on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day adding a touch of sparkle to the celebrations. New Year’s Eve aboard Oceania’s small ship fleet will be marked with Champagne toasts and a lively countdown. Throughout Hanukkah, a striking and elegant menorah is lit each evening, honouring treasured traditions. “Our festive holiday voyages are meticulously crafted to deliver the magic of the joyful season in an elegant, luxurious setting wherever you’re sailing in the world,” Chief Luxury Officer Jason Montague said.
