Oceania Cruises has gone adults-only from this week, now catering exclusively to guests 18 years and older.
The luxury cruise liner says the shift “reflects Oceania Cruises’ dedication to providing a relaxed atmosphere of genuine hospitality and meaningful connection – hallmarks of its celebrated voyages”.
Oceania Cruises Chief Luxury Officer Jason Montague says guests consistently said that the tranquil environment is one of the primary reasons they return to the cruise line.
“We 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 travellers.”
He says all existing reservations made before 7 January 2026 that include travellers under the age of 18 will be fully honoured.
Montague says, “the brand remains dedicated to delivering inspirational journeys that allow guests the freedom to explore at their own pace, savour each destination and enjoy the company of like-minded fellow travellers”.
Meanwhile, Oceania has unveiled details about its suites onboard Sonata, the first ship in the ‘Sonata class’ debuting in 2027, saying 33 per cent of the cabins will be suites.
There will be four Owner’s Suites, each with two bedrooms, a master with a king-size bed and spa-inspired, marble-clad bathroom, and a guest bedroom with a queen-size bed, bath and floor-to-ceiling glass doors opening onto the private veranda.
There are also 63 Penthouse Suites and 82 Penthouse Deluxe Suites, with oversized living areas and private verandas. All suites have dedicated butlers.
