Oceania Cruises® Announces Transition to Adults-Only Experience


Luxury Cruise Line To Exclusively Welcome Travelers Aged 18+


MIAMI – January 7, 2026 – Oceania Cruises®, the world’s leading culinary- and destination focused luxury cruise line, is ushering in a new era of tranquility and sophistication at sea. Effective January 7, 2026, the cruise line will exclusively welcome guests aged 18 and older for all new reservations for future voyages, elevating the onboard ambiance and responding to the preferences of its guests.


All existing reservations made prior to January 7, 2026, that include travelers under the age of 18, will be fully honored, ensuring a seamless and considerate transition for valued guests. This policy shift reflects Oceania Cruises’ dedication to providing a relaxed atmosphere of genuine hospitality and meaningful connection – hallmarks of its celebrated voyages.

Oceania Cruises inform to Yunique International Travel about their new policy, and we are sharing with all our travelers and friends:

“Beginning January 7, 2026, Oceania Cruises will only accept reservations for guests that are 18 years of age or older.  This change ensures that the atmosphere our guests love – intimate, refined, and peaceful – will be preserved and enhanced. 

This policy is based on extensive guest feedback. Our guests consistently tell us they value the calm atmosphere of our ships and like-minded company they encounter. Families with children make up only a very small percentage of our guests, and we know that our ships are not best designed to serve them.

By focusing on our core audience, we are ensuring that Oceania Cruises remains the brand of choice for our guests who value unhurried exploration, immersive itineraries, and gracious service. This change ensures that every voyage delivers on our promise of Your World, Your Way: giving like-minded adults the freedom to embrace what inspires them, to discover at their own pace, and to savour every moment of the journey.

We encourage you to share this enhancement to the brand experience with your clients. We will be equipping you with updated materials to support these conversations.

Please note: All reservations that contain guests under the age of 18 will be fully honored and those guests will be warmly welcomed.”
