WHAT IS OCEANIA CRUISES’ NEW ADULTS-ONLY POLICY?

Beginning 7 January 2026, Oceania Cruises will now exclusively welcome guests 18 years of age and older at the time of embarkation on all new reservations. This policy ensures that every voyage delivers the serene, sophisticated and adultfocused experience our guests value most.

WHY IS OCEANIA CRUISES MAKING THIS CHANGE?

This decision is based on extensive guest feedback. Our travellers consistently tell us that they choose Oceania Cruises for itscalm, tranquil atmosphere and the company of like-minded adults. Moving to an adults-only environment allows us to focus on what our guests appreciate most—refined service, cultural enrichment and unhurried exploration.

HOW DOES THIS AFFECT EXISTING BOOKINGS WITH CHILDREN?

All existing bookings that include guests under the age of 18 years which were made prior to 7 January 2026 will be honoured in full. There is no impact to these reservations. The policy will only apply to new bookings made on or after 7 January 2026.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I WANT TO BOOK A FUTURE CRUISE WITH CHILDREN?

While Oceania Cruises will focus exclusively on adult guests, our sister brands — Norwegian Cruise Line and Regent Seven Seas Cruises — offer exceptional voyages designed for families and multi-generational travellers. Your travel advisor, Norwegian Cruise Line or Regent Seven Seas Cruises representative can assist with rebooking options or recommendations.

WHY IS THIS POLICY SPECIFIC TO OCEANIA CRUISES AND NOT TO THE OTHER BRANDS IN THE NORWEGIAN CRUISE LINE HOLDINGS LTD. FAMILY?

Each brand within the Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. family serves a distinct audience. Oceania Cruises’ ships and experiences are crafted for adult travellers seeking tranquility, cultural immersion and relaxed sophistication.

HOW WILL OCEANIA CRUISES VERIFY THE AGE OF GUESTS?

A valid date of birth will be required at the time of booking for all guests. Proof of age with valid passport will be requestedprior to embarkation.

WHAT IF MY TRAVEL PARTY INCLUDES SOMEONE WHO WILL TURN 18 BEFORE SAILING?

Guests who are 18 years of age or older at the time of embarkation are eligible to sail. Reservations may be made as long as the guest will meet that age requirement by the embarkation date of the voyage.

WILL THERE BE ANY CHANGES TO ONBOARD PROGRAMMES OR AMENITIES?

No. Oceania Cruises’ ships are already designed for adult travellers. This policy simply formalises what our guests already experience — refined service, culinary excellence and immersive itineraries without youth programming or facilities.

DOES THIS CHANGE APPLY TO FULL-SHIP CHARTERS OR GROUP BOOKINGS?

The Adults-Only policy applies to all standard Oceania Cruises sailings. Exceptions for private full-ship charters may be reviewed on a case-by-case basis with executive approval.

HOW WILL OCEANIA COMMUNICATE THIS CHANGE TO GUESTS?

The new policy will be reflected in our Terms & Conditions, Guest Ticket Contract, website copy and booking confirmations. Guests will also see reminders at the time of reservation, on invoices and in pre-cruise communications.

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT MY BOOKING?

Guests can contact Oceania Cruises’ Guest Services or their travel advisor for assistance. Our teams are prepared to answer questions, update records and provide support for any rebooking needs.

Guests with any medical condition(s) or special needs that may require treatment or attention or accommodation during the voyage, or needing to travel with medical apparatus, including wheelchairs, motorised scooters, oxygen therapy, etc., must advise Oceania Cruises in writing at the time of deposit. Please note some ports of call may not be suitable for guests with limited mobility and in such cases, may disallow debarkation with a wheelchair or motorised scooter or for any individual with limited mobility.

What is your alcohol policy for bringing bottles onboard?

The maximum of 6 bottles of independent wine (per stateroom, per cruise) can be brought on-board for the duration of the cruise. This includes guests flying with their own wine, or purchasing it on shore. We ask that guests let us know they are bringing wine on-board so the ship can be advised. Guests are welcome to enjoy their wine in the comfort and privacy of their stateroom or suite, or, if they prefer, may enjoy their wine in one of the ship’s dining rooms. Any wine consumed in the dining room or a public area will be subject to a corkage fee of $25.00 per bottle.
