Running until August 26, 2024, Oceania Cruises’ Summer Sale swipes up to 40 per cent off 50 sailings – delivering the ultimate value in luxury cruising

Four top picks from this year’s Summer Sale
Let’s venture south of the equator onboard Nautica to visit the fabled islands of Polynesia. Entangled in legend, dripping with pearls, and alive with the colourful shimmer of coral and fish in the glinting turquoise water, these islands are the gateway to another world. You’ll marvel at the skill of surfers on their longboards in Tahiti, where nature also takes centre stage at the mesmerising Faarumai Waterfalls.

If active adventure is calling your name, then snorkelling, diving, and canoeing all offer thrilling experiences in the water, while hiking options abound if you want to immerse yourself in the verdant landscapes of these lush volcanic islands. Succumb to that Tahitian temptation on a 10-day roundtrip sailing from Papeete, the capital of Tahiti.

We also love cruises that showcase the best of Europe, given that so many incredible destinations are right on our doorstep. And Marina’s May 26, 2025, sailing from Barcelona to Athens definitely catches our eye.

Over the course of nine days, you’ll find yourself inspired by the historic ochre old town of Valletta, imposingly overlooking the sea from its clifftop, and then you’ll have the opportunity to journey even further back in time to the ancient city of Ephesus, when you call in Kusadasi, Turkey.

An overnight stay in Istanbul, presents the ultimate deep dive into the world-renowned East-meets-West, medieval-meets-modern city that spans Europe and Asia.

The Summer Sale presents an excellent time to commit to a far-flung sailing thanks to the impressive savings of up to 40 per cent. That’s why now is an optimal moment to book the 16-day ‘Treasures of Captain Cook’ onboard Regatta, saving a significant amount on the cruise fare. Roundtrip from Sydney, you’ll venture across the Tasman Sea and start your exploration of New Zealand in the North Island, including a day in Auckland – the population hub of the country.

There are so many enticing excursions on the North Island, with Hobbiton an easy drive from Rotorua. Napier’s Art Deco vibe, Akaroa’s French flair, and Dunedin’s Scottish edge showcase the great diversity of this remote island nation. An overnight stay in Melbourne adds an extra touch of Australia before you return to Sydney.

Or, if the Caribbean is calling, check out Oceania Cruises' 10-day Bridgetown to Miami sailing onboard Sirena. Departing from Bridgetown, Barbados' charismatic capital, on January 29, 2025, you call at St Vincent, Grenada, Curacao, Aruba, Jamaica and the Bahamas before disembarking in Miami. Two sea days afford plenty of time to make the most of Sirena too.

The summer sale includes Oceania Cruises’ simply MORE
As with all Oceania Cruises sailings, any voyage that you book within the time-limited summer sail will include the line’s simply MORE value promise, which means pretty much everything is included in the price of the cruise.

Speciality dining, Champagnes and premium wines valued at up to US$2,800 per stateroom come rolled into the package, as do a selection of international beers during lunch and dinner service. Plus, you’ll be gifted up to $1,400 onboard credit to treat yourself to shore excursions (exact amount depends on the length of your cruise), and complimentary WiFi onboard to keep your family and friends back home up to date on your adventures.

This year’s Summer Sale ends on August 26, 2024.
