Oceania Cruises will deploy its vessel Oceania Allura for its first full winter season in the Mediterranean in 2027–2028, offering a collection of 17 sailings from November through March that focus on cooler-season travel, less-visited ports and extended stays.
The itineraries, which range from 9 to 26 days, enable guests to unpack once and sail from Barcelona in the west to Istanbul in the east, visiting destinations such as Montenegro’s Kotor and Sardinia’s Cagliari during the off-peak season.
According to the cruise line’s planning executive, the winter schedule is designed to allow travellers to explore Europe in a more thoughtful pace, with longer port stays and overnight visits, set within a season characterised by the region’s cooler air and fresh skies.
On Oceania Allura, guests will access enriching programs including hands-on cooking classes in the Culinary Center, art workshops in the Artist Loft, and digital-skill lessons in the LYNC Digital Center—features highlighted by the line as part of its destination-focused luxury offering.
Through this deployment, Oceania Cruises aims to broaden its Mediterranean portfolio by introducing a winter-season product that emphasises hospitality, destination immersion and a slower pace of exploration while maintaining its hallmark culinary and service standards.
