For Shore
The Destination Specialists at Oceania Cruises have carefully curated, vetted, and hand-selected shore excursions in each of the company’s 600-plus global ports. Their meticulous and thoughtful planning allows guests ample opportunity to embed themselves in the fabric of the local community, learn about its history, taste its cuisine, and even be part of its progress.
Go Local
Oceania Cruises’ signature Go Local adventures offer over 120 one-of-a-kind experiences that proudly go beyond the expected. These exclusive, small-batch tours introduce passengers to the fishermen, farmers, artisans, and entrepreneurs who make a community vibrant. Experience the generations-old tradition of sheep tending in Mahon, Spain, where you’ll learn to shear sheep. Making goat cheese is also an option, as is savoring a family-style meal with the host after a day’s work. Or cast a line with local fishermen in Portofino, Italy, and enjoy a traditionally prepared meal featuring your catch. You could also channel your inner Picasso under the tutelage of a professional local artist in Waterford, Ireland.
Go Green Tours
No one can solve the climate crisis alone. New ideas and practices must be shared. Oceania Cruises’ Go Green Tours help facilitate this information sharing by introducing passengers to residents and businesses endeavoring to conserve, sustain, and elevate their surrounding environments. There are more than 150 sustainability-focused tours to choose from, all of which highlight thoughtful and creative solutions to address complex environmental challenges. Learn about innovative new farming techniques designed to save water, chemical-free pest prevention solutions, or even participate in a reforestation project by planting a coffee tree in a well-shaded spot.

Beyond Blueprints tours provide a rare and behind-the-scenes look at some of the world’s most iconic architectural gems. Learn from an architectural historian who shares the fascinating stories of construction chaos behind Copenhagen’s Royal Library, Oslo’s Munch Museum, and many more famous landmarks.
