Oceania Cruises Shares 2025 European Sailings

Oceania Cruises is launching new European sailings for 2025, with journeys from six to 34 days to stunning destinations. Our boutique ships will visit islands, fjords, resort towns, and cities, highlighting local culture and cuisine.

At The Culinary Center, you can experience food-focused shore excursions, diverse dining options, guest lectures, cooking demonstrations, and hands-on lessons. 

“We are thrilled to have this rich line-up of Europe sailings on such a wonderful choice of ships for next year. We cannot wait to welcome Allura to the family in July; to have her, and her sister, Vista, which launched to global acclaim last year, in one of the most intriguing and well-loved cruise regions of the world at the same time is so exciting,” stated Frank A. Del Rio, President of Oceania Cruises. “Europe has always been a favorite for our well-traveled and curious guests, who eagerly seek to explore its hidden gems and create new memories aboard our elegant ships.”

Ultimate Europe: Experiences Ashore

Travelers can explore Europe’s natural wonders and local culture with various small-group shore excursions on each sailing.

A highlight is the Culinary Discovery Tour in Palma, featuring a visit to Olivar Market for fresh produce and the Treuer olive farm. Guests will also participate in a cooking class on the ship using the ingredients collected and enjoy local wine tastings.

Oceania Cruises offers diverse excursions categorized as Go Local, Go Green, and Beyond Blueprints, focusing on adventure and sustainability. The new “Capture the Moment” collection provides photography tips for capturing memorable sights.
