“We’re thrilled to offer our guests the opportunity to explore some of the world’s most stunning and less-visited destinations,” said Jason Montague, Chief Luxury Officer of Oceania Cruises. “Our thoughtfully curated itineraries provide access to hidden gems, giving travelers the rare chance to discover locales they never imagined. It’s a true privilege for our staff and crew to see the joy these unique voyages bring, especially when guests experience the unmatched beauty of these destinations aboard our intimate, luxurious ships.”
Witness Nature’s Wonders: Experiences Ashore
With hundreds of small-group shore excursions available on each sailing, travellers will discover natural wonders set within the stunning landscapes of Canada, Greenland, and Iceland, alongside the rich local cultures of these destinations.
A must-see experience is sailing around Paamiut Fjord, Greenland. Travellers could be lucky enough to spot a variety of whale species, including humpbacks, minkes, and orcas, as they glide past icebergs, admiring the breathtaking beauty of this untouched and sparsely populated fjord.
In Grundarfjörður, guests will discover the remarkable beauty of the striking Kirkjufell, an isolated mountain that juts out of the sea. This Icelandic fishing community is set amidst the spectacular scenery of a dramatic bay embraced by soaring cliffs and plunging waterfalls. Stroll along the surrounding beaches and hiking trails, enjoy a boat trip to observe the local seals and puffins, or take a guided walk to Kirkjufell Waterfall.
