The 2026 Collection of Voyages features more than 100 itineraries, plus 35 Grand Voyages, offering extended exploration by sea aboard six of the line’s ultra-premium, small ships. The thoughtfully planned voyages encourage travelers to ignite their passion for discovery by visiting both renowned and off-the-beaten-path destinations, from Alaska’s rugged wilderness to the sun-drenched Mediterranean and the splendors of Northern Europe.
“On board our intimate ships, guests can tailor their experience exactly as they wish, whether that be indulging in a gourmet meal created by our esteemed onboard culinary team or setting out on a shore excursion – the choice is entirely theirs. The convenience of small-ship cruising allows our guests to unpack only once and seamlessly explore iconic cities and hidden treasures; with no lines, they’re able to step ashore quickly, and they are always warmly greeted back aboard with a heartfelt welcome from our onboard team,” shared Oceana President Frank A. Del Rio.
Oceana is owned by Norwegian Cruise Line.

Oceana offers longer sailings
With bucket list trips covering the most incredible locations from Vancouver to Papeete, Istanbul to Barcelona and Reykjavik to London, Oceania Cruises guests can travel the world on sailings ranging from seven to 67 days. No matter how long their chosen sailing, Oceania Cruises guests can dive deeper into each destination, as the line’s small ships spend between 30 and 50 percent more time in each port than premium cruise lines, including many overnight stays.

Once ashore, guests can choose from hundreds of excursions in each port of call catering to a wealth of interests, including food, wine, history, architecture, and local culture.
Intriguing itineraries explore world-famous cities such as London, Copenhagen, Seattle, Berlin, Stockholm, and Reykjavik alongside holiday islands including Ibiza, Mykonos, Crete, Rhodes, and Santorini. Additionally, these itineraries offer the chance to explore further, with the line’s small ships visiting places rather less expected, such as Trapani, Sicily; Tórshavn, Faroe Islands; Arrecife, Lanzarote, Canary Islands; Mandal, Norway; Liepaja, Latvia; and Lysekil, Sweden.
The 2026 Collection Highlights
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 30, which positions travelers in the path of totality for the 2026 Solar Eclipse. In addition, renowned expert astronomer Dennis Mammana will be on board as the guest enrichment speaker and will be narrating the actual eclipse.

Baltic, Scandinavia, and Northern Europe Season: May – September
A region of epic tales where rolling forests give way to chic cities, the Baltic, Scandinavia, and Northern Europe regions are a vibrant blend of medieval old towns, cutting-edge culture capitals, and majestic natural beauty. Marvel at dramatic landscapes of sprawling lava fields and imposing glaciers in Iceland, sail the breathtaking fjords of Norway, and unlock the secrets of the Scottish Highlands and Shetland Islands.
These voyages invite you to experience some of the most memorable and diverse treasures in these iconic destinations which are best explored by sea.

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 Season: October – November
While the indulgence of days at sea to enjoy the ship’s abundant amenities, enrichment, and entertainment is incentive enough, transoceanic journeys offer the unparalleled 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 jewels that offer perfect additions to your travel diary – think the adventure-laden Kauai, dramatic Raiatea, exotic Tangier, and the beautiful Canary Islands.
