Oceania Cruises has launched its 2028-2029 sailing itinerary, which features over 230 itineraries in different regions around the world. Oceania Cruises’ deployment varies from short seven-day coastal cruises to long cruises lasting up to 180 days. Over 60 overnight stops are part of the schedule in order to spend more time in cities like Copenhagen (Denmark), Lisbon (Portugal), Bangkok (Thailand), and Bali (Indonesia), as well as less popular destinations like Seville (Spain) and Malé (Maldives).

The itinerary will feature the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, Caribbean, Asia, Australia & New Zealand, and trans-ocean cruises.

Mediterranean Region: Expanded Coverage Across Southern Europe

The Mediterranean forms one of the largest segments of the 2028–2029 deployment, with more than 80 itineraries covering coastal destinations in Greece, Turkey, Italy, and Spain. Voyages include routes through the Aegean Sea and Greek island circuits, along with calls at historic harbors across southern Italy and coastal Spain.

Northern Mediterranean and Western European sailings include port sequences through Stockholm in Sweden, Copenhagen in Denmark, Amsterdam in the Netherlands, and Norway’s fjord systems. These itineraries combine urban capitals with natural coastal landscapes, reflecting a broad regional approach across Europe.

The deployment also includes extended exploration of the Baltic and Scandinavian region, with Baltic Sea sailings featuring capital cities and smaller coastal ports across northern Europe.

Alaska and Asia Deployment: Seasonal Shift Across the Northern Hemisphere

In summer 2028, the vessel Oceania Riviera is scheduled to operate in Alaska, marking a return to the region’s coastal routes. These itineraries typically focus on glacier landscapes, fjords, and port communities across the southeastern Alaskan coastline.

Following the Alaska season, operations transition toward Asia, with increased deployment across Japan and Southeast Asia. Japanese itineraries include smaller and less frequently visited ports such as Kagoshima, Ishigaki, and Miyazaki, alongside larger urban centers. Additional Asian routes include overnight stays in Bangkok in Thailand and Singapore, as well as sailings through the Indonesian archipelago, including Komodo Island.

Mediterranean Winter Operations: Greece, Turkey, Italy, and Spain

The vessel Oceania Allura is assigned to a second consecutive winter season in the Mediterranean spanning late 2028 through early 2029. Operations are centered on Greece, Turkey, Italy, and Spain, covering both island and mainland ports.

The winter deployment emphasizes extended seasonal cruising across the eastern and western Mediterranean, maintaining continuity of operations during the off-peak travel period in Northern Europe.

Global World Voyages: Extended Circumnavigation Routes

The ship Oceania Aurelia is scheduled to operate two 180-day world voyages in 2028 and 2029. The 2028 departure is set from Miami in the United States, while the 2029 voyage begins in Los Angeles, also in the United States, concluding in New York.

These global itineraries incorporate multiple regions, including the South Pacific, Asia, the Indian Ocean, and Europe, offering continuous long-distance routing across hemispheres. The vessel will operate under its new identity following its conversion from Oceania Nautica as part of a broader modernization program.

Caribbean, Mexico, and Panama Canal Routes

Caribbean and Central American deployments are centered on round-trip sailings from Miami in the United States. The vessel Oceania Sonata operates alongside Oceania Vista on itineraries ranging from one-week island circuits to longer voyages through the Panama Canal.

Destinations include island groups across the Caribbean basin, coastal ports in Mexico, and transit passages linking the Atlantic and Pacific oceans through Central America. These itineraries incorporate both leisure-oriented island stops and extended coastal cruising segments.

Asia: Expanded Japan and Southeast Asia Focus

Asia operations include deployments of Oceania Marina and Oceania Riviera, focusing on Japan’s coastal geography and Southeast Asian maritime routes. Japanese itineraries incorporate both metropolitan ports and regional destinations, extending access to less frequently visited coastal communities.

Regional voyages include overnight stays in Bangkok in Thailand and Singapore, along with extended cruising through Indonesia, including island chains and marine reserves such as Komodo Island.

South Pacific, Australia, and New Zealand

The South Pacific program includes extended operations across Australia and New Zealand. Voyages from Sydney, Melbourne, Hobart, and Auckland provide access to both urban coastal centers and natural maritime landscapes.

New Zealand itineraries highlight fjord systems such as Milford Sound, while Australian routes connect major eastern and southern port cities. These voyages typically range up to two weeks and emphasize regional coastal diversity.

Canada and New England: Seasonal Autumn Sailings

North American autumn deployments focus on Canada and New England, with itineraries centered on seasonal foliage and coastal routes. The vessel Oceania Vista operates an 11-day itinerary known as “Autumnal Allure & Maritimes,” covering Portland in the United States, Saint John and Halifax in Canada, and Quebec City in Canada.

Additional sailings include routes through Prince Edward Island and other maritime provinces, emphasizing coastal communities and seasonal landscapes.

Transoceanic Crossings and Repositioning Voyages

The 2028–2029 schedule includes seven repositioning voyages linking regional deployments across oceans. One highlighted itinerary is a 15-day Atlantic crossing from Lisbon in Portugal to Miami in the United States aboard Oceania Sonata, with intermediate calls at Madeira in Portugal, Tenerife in Spain’s Canary Islands, and San Juan in Puerto Rico.

These transoceanic segments connect seasonal deployment zones and facilitate global fleet movement between Europe, the Americas, and other operating regions.

Global Structure of the 2028–2029 Program

In all the regions, the deployment is a result of systematic rotation of a worldwide pattern that includes Europe, Asia, Americas, and the South Pacific. The schedule encompasses world cruises for longer periods of time, regional cruises depending on the season, as well as repositioning cruises among continents, placing great importance on port calls.
