Oceania Cruises has announced its Specialty Cruises for next year, which will see guests travel alongside culinary and cultural leaders.
The line’s 2027 Specialty Cruises will visit the Mediterranean, the Baltic, and Japan, and include exclusive events, expert insights and distinctive experiences.
Select voyages will be hosted by celebrated culinary icons and television personalities, such as Claudine Pepin on an 11-day Tokyo round trip aboard the Oceania Riviera. Pepin is the daughter of Oceania’s founding executive culinary director Jacques Pepin.
Also hosting are cookbook author Sara Moulton on a 14-day Lisbon round trip aboard Oceania Marina, and Oceania’s executive culinary directors Alexis Quarety and Eric Barale on a 13-day Athens to Rome voyage aboard Oceania Vista.
Other select sailings will feature travel experts who will provide insights on distinctive Mediterranean ports, designed to bring travellers closer to the region’s culture and people.
American television host Samantha Brown will host a 10 day specialty cruise from Trieste to Barcelona aboard Oceania Allura, during which she will share her insights on select ports. Samantha Brown, a two-time Emmy Award-winning TV host and travel expert, has been inspiring wanderlust for 25 years by authentically showcasing the character of the people and places she encounters worldwide. Since her debut on Travel Channel’s Great Vacation Homes, she has traveled over 2.5 million miles and explored numerous cities in 65 countries.
There will also be a 12-day Reunion Cruise from Trieste to Athens aboard Oceania Aurelia, immediately following the re-imagined ship’s inaugural voyage. The sailing will act as an end-of-year celebration hosted by senior Oceania executives, where loyal and first-time guests alike can come together.
