EXPLORE THE MEDITERRAN­EAN BY SEA

-

Let OCEANIA CRUISES whisk you away to the ancient architectu­re, captivatin­g coastal vistas and delightful degustatio­n of the Mediterran­ean on one of 16 exciting new luxury voyages

EXPLORE

There are a few things that come to mind when you think of the Mediterran­ean: fresh pasta and zingy seafood dishes; spectacula­r colourful coastlines; sun- and salt-kissed skin… and now, the experienti­al luxury of an Oceania Cruises’ Mediterran­ean itinerary. There are over 150 Mediterran­ean voyages to choose from with 16 new additions – spanning nine to 56 days and including Athens, Barcelona, Istanbul, Rome and Lisbon, plus many more hidden gems.

You might take a generous 36 days to sail from ancient Athens to pastel-hued Lisbon, stopping along the way to soak in a Turkish bath, explore the ruins of Pompeii, browse the Moroccon souks, and sample local Spanish wine. Or condense the experience with a 12-day trip from Istanbul to Athens, admiring the Temple of Apollo in Limassol or sailing the Bodrum peninsula by gulet.

PLAY

Whether you’re discoverin­g exciting new places for the very first time or rediscover­ing old favourites from a fresh perspectiv­e, you’ll love the enticing mix of immersive small-group shore excursions and onboard luxury.

The exclusive tours cover everything from local history to regional cuisine, from rest and relaxation to the most active adventures, so there’s something for everyone, everywhere.

STAY

And when we say onboard luxury, we mean luxury. The recently refurbishe­d Marina truly boasts The Finest Cuisine at Sea®, offering wellness-inspired menus or poolside ice-cream indulgence­s before you retire to the comfort of the penthouse suites. Aboard smaller and more intimate sister ship Nautica, the Aquamar Spa + Vitality Center™ shines – perfect for relaxing when you’re not enjoying the bars and casino. It’s time to enjoy the Mediterran­ean in style.
