Whether you’re drawn to the turquoise waters of the Caribbean, the vibrant landscapes of South America, the ancient wonders of Asia, or the untamed beauty of Australia and New Zealand, our new collection has something for every traveller.

South Pacific, Australia & New Zealand

Explore the stunning islands of the South Pacific, from the vibrant coral reefs of Fiji to the breathtaking landscapes of Australia. Whether you’re discovering wildlife, indulging in world-class wines, or diving into the Great Barrier Reef, each moment is designed for discovery and relaxation.

  • Polynesian Playgrounds (14 days): Dress like a local in Bora Bora during a visit to a pareo house, or Tahitian garment shop, where you’ll browse a selection of brightly dyed cloths and learn how to shape them into a sarong (departs Honolulu, 5 Oct 2026).

Caribbean, Panama Canal and Mexico

Sail aboard one of Oceania Cruises’ intimate ships as you explore both beloved hotspots and hidden gems like St. Kitts, Bonaire, and Guadeloupe. Relax on pristine beaches, trek through lush rainforests, or snorkel in crystal-clear waters—the choice is yours.

  • Maya to Island Heritage (12 Days): Absorb the timeless Maya heritage found along the Western Caribbean, home to impressive pyramidal temples and enduring pre-Columbian traditions, and dip into the warm, aquamarine waters of several island favourites (departs Miami, 04 Jan 2026).

South America

Experience the stunning contrasts of South America. Lose yourself in the electric energy of Rio de Janeiro, sip world-class wines in Montevideo, cruise the legendary Amazon River, or marvel at the breathtaking beauty of Patagonia.

  • Amazon to Caribbean Gems (19 Days): Experience the lush, rarely seen world neighbouring the Amazon River, with an exceptional selection of locales along this iconic waterway, then appreciate visits to a sun-drenched collection of Caribbean islands (departs Bridgetown, 27 Jan 2026).
