Oceania Cruises invites discerning travelers to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary with a collection of 2026 Alaska and New England voyages. These designed itineraries offer a way to explore the land and history that have shaped the nation, all aboard Oceania Cruises’ ships.

Between May and October 2026, Oceania Cruises will offer 19 voyages dedicated to Alaska and New England ports, inviting guests to savor unhurried exploration in these regions. From Alaska’s untamed wilderness to New England’s historic harbors, each journey reflects the enduring American spirit–adventurous, resilient and rich in heritage.

In Alaska, marvel at the wonders of The Last Frontier—calving glaciers, breathtaking fjords, vibrant gold rush towns like Juneau and Skagway and unforgettable wildlife encounters. 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. Explore storied destinations like Bar Harbor with its scenic coastal paths and historic landmarks, and delight in authentic lobster bakes and vibrant 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.”

Guests will delight in Oceania Cruises’ designer—inspired ships, Oceania Riviera and Oceania Vista. These rugged itineraries contrast with the refined comfort on board, where spacious staterooms and suites, some boasting nearly 2,500 square feet and The Finest Cuisine at Sea in speciality venues like Jacques and Polo Grill, create an atmosphere of indulgence.
