Oceania Changes

Our families with adult children now have a fresh way to enjoy cruising in an adult-only setting. Oceania Cruises has transitioned to an adults-only policy for all new bookings, while still honoring any children already booked to sail. The line aims to provide a more tranquil, refined, and sophisticated onboard experience.

Current promotions include up to 40% savings with reduced deposits plus the choice of a complimentary beverage package or double shore excursion credits on select sailings.

Oceania, an upper-premium cruise line, operates a fleet of small, elegant ships carrying around 1,250 guests, and is part of the same company that operates Norwegian Cruise Line and Regent Seven Seas Cruises. Its itineraries span the globe from the Caribbean and Alaska to the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, Asia, and extended world voyages often combining major ports with smaller, boutique destinations to provide a rich cultural experience.

Beach Club Expansion

Royal Caribbean Group is set to debut Royal Beach Club Santorini in summer 2026, offering a new destination exclusively for guests sailing on Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises. The beach club will anchor the company’s new Ultimate Santorini Day experience, blending relaxed seaside time with curated tours of the island’s most iconic sights. Your family can explore the postcard-perfect highlights of Santorini such as the whitewashed houses and blue-domed churches of Oia, and the boutiques, cafés and galleries of Fira before or after unwinding at the new beach club. To help ease Santorini’s crowding, the cruise line plans to manage guest flow by spreading arrivals across three different starting points, reducing pressure on the island’s busiest areas.

Royal Beach Club Santorini joins a growing portfolio of new private destinations.
