Oceania Cruises is honoring America’s 250th anniversary with a collection of 2026 Alaska and New England voyages. These itineraries offer a way to explore the land and history that have shaped the nation, all aboard the line’s intimate, luxurious ships.
Between May and October 2026, Oceania Cruises will offer 19 voyages dedicated to Alaska and New England ports. From Alaska’s untamed wilderness to New England’s historic harbors, each journey reflects the enduring American spirit.
In Alaska, travelers will have close encounters with calving glaciers, fjords, gold rush towns like Juneau and Skagway, and wildlife. Each day brings new adventures, from witnessing Hubbard Glacier’s icy splendor to helicopter flightseeing and glacier trekking.
In New England, history comes alive in Boston—the birthplace of the American Revolution—and Newport, Rhode Island, which showcases the riches of America’s Gilded Age. Travelers will have the opportunity to explore storied destinations like Bar Harbor, with its coastal paths and historic landmarks, taste lobster bakes, and experience fall foliage.
“Oceania Cruises has always been about immersing travelers into the heart of the destination,” said Jason Montague, chief luxury officer of Oceania Cruises. “As America commemorates its 250th anniversary, we are honored to offer journeys that showcase the country’s enduring spirit, mesmerizing landscapes, fascinating history and rich tapestry of culture.”
The itineraries will be operated by Oceania Cruises’ designer-inspired ships, Oceania Riviera and Oceania Vista.
