Oceania Cruises has unveiled an expanded collection of European voyages for 2027 and 2028, including its first full winter season in the Mediterranean aboard Oceania Allura.
The programme features 17 voyages from November 2027 through
March 2028, ranging from nine to 26 days and sailing between destinations
including Barcelona, Rome, Athens and Istanbul.
"Europe is one of the most beloved cruise regions, and
we are thrilled to offer our guests year-round opportunities to sail with
us," said Jason Montague, Chief Luxury Officer of Oceania Cruises.
"With more ways to explore the continent, from weeklong escapes to longer,
unhurried journeys across the seasons, we're giving guests the freedom to
experience Europe entirely on their own terms."
The new programme combines major European cities with
lesser-visited destinations, including Golfo Aranci in Sardinia, Gythion and
Skiathos in Greece, Kotor in Montenegro, Taranto in Puglia and Çanakkale, the
gateway to Troy.
Overnight and extended stays in Bordeaux, Hamburg and
Florence/Pisa/Tuscany will give travellers additional time to explore.
Oceania’s itineraries include small-group shore excursions
and experiences focused on local culture, history and traditions.
Culinary experiences are also central to the programme, with
regional cuisine featured both onboard and ashore.
Signature Culinary Discovery Tours allow guests to explore
local markets and producers before enjoying chef-led meals featuring regional
ingredients.
Highlighted voyages include the 10-day Atlantic Wine Trails
from Lisbon to London, departing April 24, 2027, aboard Oceania Insignia,
featuring Oporto, Bilbao, Biarritz and an overnight in Bordeaux.
The 9-day Mysteries of History voyage from Rome to Istanbul
departs May 24, 2027, aboard Oceania Sirena, visiting destinations across
Italy, Greece and Turkey, including Çanakkale.
The 13-day Glacial Adventure from Copenhagen to Reykjavik
departs July 26, 2027, aboard Oceania Marina, combining Scandinavian cities,
Norwegian fjords and Icelandic landscapes.
Other highlights include the 10-day Croissants & Cannoli
from Barcelona to Rome in September 2027, the 12-day Warm Winter Wonderland
from Athens to Barcelona in December 2027, and the 9-day Iconic Art &
Architecture roundtrip from Rome aboard Oceania Allura in January 2028.
Together, the voyages expand Oceania Cruises’ European offering while giving travellers greater choice to experience the continent across different seasons. -TTN
