Oceania Cruises’ 2026 Caribbean Sailings Feature Boutique Ports, Small-Group Shore Excursions and Unique Culinary Experiences

SINGAPORE, 16 July, 2026 – Oceania Cruises® is inviting travellers to discover the Caribbean’s vibrant cultures, sun-drenched islands and diverse coastal destinations aboard the line’s newest and most recently refreshed ships, all offering a sophisticated, adults-only environment. Each itinerary, ranging from seven to 14 days, is designed for guests to explore the region from a new perspective.

Sailing aboard Oceania Cruises’ intimate, luxurious ships, including Oceania Marina™, Oceania Vista® and Oceania Allura™, the Caribbean season, towards the end of 2026, showcases the extraordinary breadth and cultural richness of the region, with itineraries featuring popular destinations such as Oranjestad, Aruba; Cozumel, Mexico; and Montego Bay, Jamaica, as well as lesser-known boutique ports, including Basseterre, St. Kitts; Philipsburg, St. Maarten; and Pointe-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe.

Guests can explore the Caribbean’s flavours, lush landscapes, wildlife and lively cultures on a broad array of small-group shore excursions designed to showcase the diversity of the region. Travellers can choose to visit a beekeeping collective in St. Lucia or peruse the antique stalls of Pointe-à-Pitre’s Sainte-Anne’s Artisanal Village. Alternatively, for those wanting to discover the Caribbean through a culinary lens, they could sample Dutch cheeses and wines in the UNESCO-listed historic section of Willemstad, Curaçao, learn about the dozens of banana varieties and the role they play in Martinique’s economy, or enjoy a Chef-led tour of an organic farm and a beachside lunch in Tortola.

“Our Caribbean voyages showcase the remarkable diversity and depth of the region, from its globally recognized islands to its more unexpected discoveries. Plus, our array of enriching experiences ashore offers even the most well-traveled guests a fresh perspective on destinations they may have visited many times,”. “Whether sailing aboard our two newest ships, Oceania Allura and Oceania Vista, or embarking on the newly reinspired Oceania Marina, guests can enjoy days exploring ashore before returning to a refined adults-only ambiance and elegant accommodations that provide the perfect retreat at sea.”

Jason Montague, Chief Luxury Officer of Oceania Cruises

Beyond the ports of call, Oceania Cruises’ onboard experience is equally enriching. Guests can savour themed Chef’s Market Dinners in the Terrace Café on select evenings and refine their culinary skills at The Culinary Center, where expert Chef Instructors lead hands-on classes inspired by local ingredients and regional traditions. The spirit of the Caribbean continues throughout the ship, with LYNC digital classes inviting guests to refine their photography techniques to capture the region’s vivid coastlines and landscapes.
