Move over Mediterranean Summers—get ready for Quiet Mediterranean Fall & Winter. Oceania, the boutique luxury cruise line under Norwegian’s portfolio, just released its 2027-2028 itineraries—230 of them—and it’s all about embracing how chic the off-season can be.
Beginning in 2027, Oceania Allura will set sail on the line’s first-ever winter Mediterranean schedule November through March, allowing guests to stay in port longer and experience winter markets, never-before-visited coastal towns and destinations that come alive in a whole different way in the off-season.
“Oceania Cruises is widely acclaimed for crafting some of the most enticing and destination-rich itineraries in the cruise industry,” said Jason Montague, Chief Luxury Officer of Oceania Cruises. “Our 2027–2028 Collection of Voyages pairs iconic ports with compelling new discoveries–designed to delight even the most seasoned explorers.”

Oceania will take voyagers to the French Riviera, Rome and the Turkish Coast, as well as off-the-beaten-path gems like the Greek isle of Milos, famed for its breathtaking landscapes, unique volcanic rock formations, crystal-clear waters and charming villages.
These sailings also offer the line’s first opportunity to celebrate the holiday season in the Mediterranean, when town squares are lit up with twinkling lights, festive decor and enchanting Christmas markets.
The 230 itineraries will cross all seven continents on seven small, intimate ships—encompassing more than a year in total. The sailings span 7 days to a 96-day grand adventure, and all put a focus on immersive, luxurious experiences, fine dining and the value the brand has become known for. Reservations for the 2027-2028 tours opened September 17.
