US EditionOceania Cruises Goes 100% Adult-Only
Starting Jan. 7, 2026, new bookings will be limited to adults 18 and older to preserve a serene and sophisticated atmosphere, based on extensive guest feedback, Oceania Cruises said.
- On January 7, 2026, Oceania Cruises announced it will accept only guests aged 18 and older for new reservations, while honoring existing reservations made prior to January 7, 2026.
- Driven by years of guest feedback, company executives say the shift reflects extensive research with repeat guests, experienced travel partners, and a focus on travelers aged 55 years and up with a mid-60s average age.
- In the past, Oceania neither encouraged nor discouraged families and accommodated children as young as six months, though executives said under-18s were minimal, with limited kids program amenities like a ping-pong table on summer Alaska sailings.
- The change positions Oceania alongside other adult-only lines such as Virgin Voyages and Viking, with sales for the Oceania Sonata opening later this month.
- As a culinary- and destination-focused luxury line, Oceania Cruises, a subsidiary of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd., frames the policy as enhancing a relaxed atmosphere aboard itineraries calling on more than 600 ports in more than 100 countries.
