Oceania Cruises will now welcome only adult guests on all new reservations for future voyages, effective immediately. The policy applies to travellers aged 18 and older and aims to enhance the onboard atmosphere for guests.
Reservations made before January 7, 2026, that include travellers under 18 will be honoured, ensuring a smooth transition for existing bookings. The move reflects the cruise line’s focus on providing a relaxed environment that encourages connection and a serene travel experience.
Oceania Cruises commented that the policy change responds to guest preferences for a calm onboard atmosphere and supports the brand’s commitment to delivering inspirational journeys where travellers can explore at their own pace and enjoy the company of like-minded fellow guests.
The cruise line conducted research among repeat guests, travel partners and new clients. Findings indicated that guests are drawn to Oceania Cruises for its unhurried pace, sophisticated service and tranquil environment, attributes highly valued by mature and affluent travellers.
Jason Montague, chief luxury officer of Oceania Cruises, said: “Our guests have consistently shared that the tranquil environment aboard our ships is one of the primary reasons they return time and time again. By transitioning to an adults-only experience, we are enhancing the very essence of the Oceania Cruises journey – one defined by sophistication, serenity and discovery.”
