Oceania Cruises, a renowned cruise line that focuses on culinary experiences and exotic destinations, has announced seven new sailings for the summer of 2025. These voyages will take place on the 670-guest Regatta, a boutique hotel-style ship, and will explore French Polynesia and Hawaii. The sailings will be available for booking on October 4, 2023. By sailing with Oceania Cruises, travelers will have the opportunity to experience the unique cultures, adventures, and natural beauty of these destinations.
These new voyages are scheduled for August, September, and October, when the regions enjoy ideal weather conditions with lots of sunshine, comfortable temperatures, and lower humidity. The itineraries will include visits to breathtaking locations such as the blue lagoon of Bora Bora, the black sand beaches of Tahiti, the colorful coral reefs of Raiatea, the towering mountains of Nuku Hiva, and more. Four of the seven new sailings will connect French Polynesia with the stunning craters, canyons, and waterfalls of the Hawaiian islands. With Oceania Cruises, travelers can immerse themselves in the paradise of these islands, discovering the rich traditions of Polynesian culture, savoring the delicious local cuisine, and exploring the local communities and natural wonders.
“At Oceania Cruises, we offer a captivating array of sailings in French Polynesia and Hawaii, charting lesser-known coastlines and taking travelers to boutique ports and off-the-beaten-track islands thanks to our small, luxurious ships,” commented Frank A. Del Rio, President of Oceania Cruises. “One of the highlights of these parts of the world is undoubtedly the food. Whether you’re exploring Bora Bora and Nuku Hiva or Nawiliwili and Hilo, the flavors of these islands are meant to be savored and enjoyed just as much as the spectacular scenery.”
Embark on a journey through the breathtaking regions of Tahiti and Honolulu with Oceania Cruises. Choose from seven new voyages that range from 10 to 18 days, giving you ample time for exploration, adventure, and relaxation. Despite Tahiti’s distance, the gateway of Papeete is easily accessible by flights from major cities like New York, Los Angeles, Paris, London and Sydney. Direct flights from Los Angeles take only 8 hours and 5-hour non-stop flights are available from Auckland. Honolulu is also just a 6-hour direct flight from Los Angeles and an 8 ½-hour direct flight from Auckland. Alongside the seven new sailings aboard Regatta in 2025, there are numerous other destination-rich itineraries to choose from in the South Pacific, as well as Australia and New Zealand, in 2024 and 2025 with Oceania Cruises.
