Oceania Cruises will launch a new onboard speaker programme in 2027, featuring influential figures from technology, film, culture and the arts as part of its guest enrichment offering.
Named Curated Conversations, the series will debut on selected 2027 sailings, with technology entrepreneur Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple, appearing aboard Oceania Allura, and actor and director Karen Allen joining Oceania Vista.
The programme will feature interview-style discussions hosted by the cruise director, followed by audience Q&A sessions, giving guests the opportunity to engage directly with the speakers.
Allen, best known for her roles in Raiders of the Lost Ark, Starman and Scrooged, will discuss storytelling, creativity and her career in film and theatre during a sailing from Los Angeles to Papeete from November 11-28, 2027.
Wozniak will share insights from his role in the personal computing revolution, as well as his work in technology and education, during a roundtrip Miami sailing from January 27-February 5, 2027.
The adults-only cruise line said the programme will be rolled out across its fleet with additional guest speakers to be announced.
Jason Montague, chief luxury officer, Oceania Cruises, said: “Curated Conversations reflects the spirit of exploration that defines an Oceania Cruises voyage.
“Our guests are naturally curious travellers who value discovery as much as the destinations themselves. This programme creates rare opportunities to engage with extraordinary individuals whose experiences and perspectives inspire new ways of thinking. Whether exploring the world ashore or exchanging ideas on board, our guests are continually seeking meaningful moments of connection, and Curated Conversations is designed to deliver exactly that.”
