Oceania Cruises Transitioning to Adults-Only Service


Effective January 7, 2026, Oceania Cruises is transitioning to an adults-only service, exclusively welcoming guests aged 18 and older on all new reservations. The move is aimed at elevating the onboard ambiance and reflecting guest preferences.

All existing reservations made prior to January 7 that include travelers under the age of 18, will be fully honored, ensuring a seamless and considerate transition for guests. 

“Our guests have consistently shared that the tranquil environment aboard our ships is one of the primary reasons they return time and time again,” Jason Montague, chief luxury officer of Oceania Cruises, said in a statement. “By transitioning to an adults-only experience, we are enhancing the very essence of the Oceania Cruises journey—one defined by sophistication, serenity and discovery.”

This evolution underscores Oceania’s promise of “Your World. Your Way.”

The brand continues to deliver journeys that allow guests the freedom to explore at their own pace, savor each destination and enjoy the company of like-minded fellow travelers who share a passion for discovery.

Oceania conducted extensive research which provided feedback from loyal repeat guests, experienced travel partners, and new-to-brand guests. Feedback consistently showed that guests choose Oceania Cruises for its serene atmosphere, sophisticated service and unhurried pace, traits that are highly sought after and valued by mature, affluent travelers.
