Oceania Cruises, the leading ultra-luxury and expedition cruise travel brand, is offering the industry’s most unique and extraordinary itineraries to explore the breathtaking region of Polynesia in 2025. Travellers can discover boutique and off-the-beaten-path islands from the comfort of the line’s small, luxurious ships.
An Expansive Season in the South Pacific
The 2025 season in the South Pacific will be Oceania Cruises’ most expansive to date, with their elegant ships Nautica and Regatta traversing the remote region during both the winter and summer seasons. These unique itineraries have been specifically designed to create a memorable and immersive experience for well-traveled, curious guests, allowing them to delve deeper into this fascinating region.
“Our 2025 collection of itineraries spanning Polynesia offers guests the opportunity to discover the astounding nature, rich culinary heritage and deep-rooted cultural traditions of the South Pacific,” commented Frank A. Del Rio, President of Oceania Cruises. “With only 670 guests on board our ultra-premium ships, there is no doubt that travelling through Polynesia with Oceania Cruises is by far the most relaxing and carefree way to experience the world’s most relaxing and carefree place.”
Discover the Remote, Nature-Rich Islands
At the heart of this extensive, diverse season are ten-day round-trip Papeete sailings, perfect for curious travellers exploring the remote, nature-rich islands that characterize this region. Wildlife-loving guests can look out for the abundance of spectacular marine life that frequent the sparkling turquoise waters around the islands, including spinner dolphins, whales, and stingrays. The region plays host to a breathtaking number of ancient archaeological sites and rugged mountains adorned with wild hibiscus and colourful ginger flowers.
A Variety of Itineraries
The diverse selection of itineraries includes the must-sees in French Polynesia, such as vibrant Papeete, the paradise island of Nuku Hiva, and several overnight stays in Bora Bora, the most romantic island in the world. These voyages are perfect for travellers wishing to soak up the laid-back island atmosphere. They’ll take in iconic views of the mountains and stunning beaches and enjoy only-in-Polynesia adventures, such as tours of vanilla and black pearl farms, picturesque lagoon cruises, and motu island picnics.
Shore Excursion Highlights
Oceania Cruises has partnered with luxury and lifestyle travel magazine Condé Nast Traveler to bring globetrotters an exclusive collection of itineraries handpicked by the magazine’s dedicated editors. Four of Oceania’s Polynesia itineraries are included among the 23 Condé Nast Traveler branded itineraries. These itineraries feature editorial insights and unique tips in featured ports of call, sharing insider knowledge on what to discover, savour, and experience in each destination.
Ship Highlights
The better-than-new Regatta and Nautica blend sophistication with a contemporary flair to create a casually elegant ambience that embodies the most treasured elements of our celebrated ships. Both ships feature more free specialty dining options than any other ship regularly based in the region and offer an array of relaxed yet refined dining experiences.
Polynesia Voyage Highlights
All sailings include Oceania Cruises’ simply MORE value promise, meaning virtually everything is included in the voyage fare: complimentary vintage Champagnes, premium wines and international beers during lunch and dinner; and a shore excursion credit of up to $1,400 per stateroom (credit varies by voyage length). Created to elevate the guest experience, simply MORE means travellers receive ultimate value on top of an ultra-premium cruise experience.
