Pack your sense of adventure and cultural curiosity. And then immerse yourself in the rich cultures, histories, and culinary traditions with an ample selection of shore excursions and onboard experiences with Oceania Cruises. Destination Specialists will curate awe-inspiring must-dos in over 600 ports suited for all kinds of travelers, from active adventurers to leisurely wanderers. Back onboard, a vast selection of experiences awaits, including spa and wellness services, imaginative dining concepts, and enriching activities (think guest lectures and cooking classes), plus lively entertainment. Here’s a taste of what’s in store.
Wine & Dine
Sip and savor the world’s flavors with a sommelier or chef-led Food and Wine Tour, where you’ll not only sample fine fare and delicious wines but learn about the unique traditions behind local dishes. Culinary Discovery Tours™ reveal the secrets of authentic regional cuisine, from visiting a Venetian master chef’s private villa to traveling off the beaten path to French Polynesia’s tropical plantations.
Back onboard the boat, continue your epicurean experience with internationally inspired menus at a multitude of gourmet dining establishments suited to specific tastes, preferences, and schedules. Explore continental cuisine, authentic Italian, classic steakhouse fare, and more with an expertly advised wine pairing.
Those wishing for a deeper epicurean dive can reserve a one-of-a-kind evening like a private dinner party at the exclusive Privée dining venue or during the Dom Pérignon Experience — an exuberant, six-course gustatory indulgence with a Dom Pérignon vintage paired with each course.
Local State-of-Mind
At each port of call, excursions are thoughtfully designed to bring the culture of each stop to life. Embed yourself in the fabric of local communities with a Go Local Tour or see the sights in a different light with an overnight stay and evening excursion. Beyond Blueprints tours provide a rare, behind-the-scenes look at some of the world’s most iconic architectural landmarks, while Go Green tours showcase how local communities sustain and elevate their environments.
Those desiring more intimate explorations can opt for Oceania Exclusive excursions which cap group sizes at 16. Want even more privacy? See the sights with a private Executive Collection customized itinerary, complete with the personalized attention of a driver and English-speaking guide.

I liked watching ships and wanted to know what life was like on the other side of the ocean.
