Oceania Cruises’ grand voyages offer intrepid explorers immersive global adventures in 2025

 

MΙΑΜΙ, FL – Oceania Cruises is spotlighting a selection of its 2025 Grand Voyages, offering the most elegant way to enjoy extended travel, with bucket list trips to the most incredible locations across the globe.

The diverse array of voyages affords guests the chance to discover world wonders such as Borobudur in Indonesia, the world’s largest Buddhist monument, or Mount Fuji in Japan, with immersive itineraries on board Oceania Cruises’ boutique ships.

Ranging from spectacular 111-day expeditions of wonders across the continents to shorter sailings exploring South America, Asia, Oceania, Europe, and North America, the selection of fascinating itineraries is perfect for the discerning, time-rich traveler. Discover the mangrove-lined Prey Chak River in Sihanoukville, Cambodia, and spot diverse wildlife including the milky storks, or learn the fine art of Taiji (tai chi) from a master in Shanghai, China. In Togo, witness a voo-doo ceremony from the village chief at Sanguera, or explore the city of Agadir, set against the Atlas Mountains in Morocco, and wander through the city’s Coco Polizzi Medina.

Itineraries across Europe offer guests the chance to visit iconic ports such as Oslo, Barcelona, and Athens, meander through the whitewashed buildings of Santorini, or walk up the Bluestack Mountains in Killybegs, County Donegal, Ireland. Voyages that navigate Latin America offer opportunities for snorkeling in the bright blue sea in Ilhabela, Magellanic penguin watching in Uruguay, or driving into the pampas for an authentic Gaucho fiesta complete with empanadas and barbecues.

“Our 2025 Grand Voyages offer our discerning guests the chance to explore the globe without the constraint of time, immersing themselves deeper into destinations with our enriching shore excursion offerings, before relaxing on board our small, luxurious ships,” commented Frank A. Del Rio, President of Oceania Cruises. “We are so proud of the incredible Grand Voyages on offer in 2025 and can’t wait to welcome our guests on board.”

Featuring the largest standard staterooms at sea, all Oceania Cruises’ ships are perfect for longer voyages, giving travelers the space to relax on board after a busy day exploring ashore. Sea days are a treat with an array of options including Aquamar Spa + Vitality Center for a wind down, as well as enhancing gastronomic skills in The Culinary Center or getting creative in the Artist Loft on board Vista, Riviera and Marina, and the line’s newest ship, Allura, which debuts in 2025.

Oceania Cruises’ Allura, Vista, Marina and Riviera are the ultimate foodie ships, featuring the first ever hands-on cooking school at sea and a variety of incredible Culinary Discovery Tours, providing travelers the opportunity to immerse themselves in local culinary traditions.

Being the only true foodie cruise line, what better way to explore the world than via a kaleidoscope of new tastes and culinary experiences. Oceania Cruises’ ships feature more galley space and more fresh food storage than any other cruise line, making the specialty restaurants a mouthwatering experience.

The line’s smaller ships, NauticaRegattaSirena, and Insignia, carrying only 670 guests, can access gorgeous boutique ports, offering guests an elegant, yacht-like experience, possibly the most refined way to explore the world.

Immerse yourself in culture, history and culinary traditions thanks to Oceania Cruises’ raft of shore excursions, catering to a variety of interests. Culinary Discovery Tours offer guests the ultimate opportunity to immerse themselves into the foodie atmosphere of a destination. Choose a Chef-Led Foraging and Onboard Cooking Class in Helsinki, meander around the local market picking the best reindeer and cloudberries on offer before preparing regional dishes in the onboard Culinary Center. Alternatively, choose a Hydroponic Farm Visit and Onboard Cooking Class in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and learn how to use ingredients from the farm in your dishes.

Meanwhile, Go Local and Go Green shore excursions offer a diverse range of experiences. Guests can learn about mangrove conservation and crab nurseries in Bali and appreciate the fine art of Gaelic sports such as hurling and Gaelic football in Cork, Ireland.
