Oceania Taste of the Tropics, Detailed

Oceania Cruises is offering a variety of itineraries in the Caribbean and Tahiti in 2024 and 2025. The itineraries include both popular and lesser-known destinations and many of them feature passage through the Panama Canal. The line’s smaller ships allow them to access boutique ports and yacht harbors, which means that guests can have a more intimate and authentic travel experience.

Some of the highlights of the Caribbean itineraries include visits to Castries on the island of St. Lucia, Cartagena in Colombia, and Gatun Lake in Panama. Meanwhile, the must-sees in French Polynesia include vibrant Papeete, the paradise island of Nuku Hiva, and Bora Bora, the most romantic island in the world.

Oceania Cruises is also offering a new “simply MORE” value promise, which includes free roundtrip airfare, free airport transfers, a free shore excursion credit, and a free beverage package. This means that travelers receive the greatest value in luxury cruising, with virtually everything they desire included in their voyage fare.

The brand’s new simply MORE value promise is available for all new reservations for sailings departing October 1, 2023, or later. This is a great opportunity for travelers to experience the best of the Caribbean and Tahiti with Oceania Cruises.
