MIAMI, Nov. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Oceania Cruises® is offering a closer look at its 2027 Alaska season, featuring seven-, 10- and 11-day voyages aboard Oceania Riviera™ from Seattle and Vancouver that blend Alaska's renowned ports with more remote destinations inaccessible to larger vessels.

Linking two of the Pacific's most iconic destinations in one extraordinary voyage and complementing these Alaska sailings is a 27-day journey from Vancouver to Tokyo.

Scenic cruising to Hubbard Glacier or through the Holkham Bay Glacier Fjords reveals some of the region's most dramatic landscapes, where towering cliffs and pristine wilderness create a breathtaking backdrop for exploration.

"A cruise in Alaska offers the chance to explore and enjoy some of the most incredible scenery in the world," said Jason Montague, Chief Luxury Officer of Oceania Cruises. "Guests can embrace a true sense of adventure throughout the day, knowing they will return to the elegant comfort of Oceania Riviera. Whether enjoying an exceptional meal, a perfectly crafted cocktail or simply watching the scenery unfold from a private veranda, the experience combines Alaska's untamed beauty with the relaxed luxury that defines Oceania Cruises."

Ashore, guests can explore thriving fishing communities, Native Alaska heritage sites and glacier-lined waterways, with ports of call including Ketchikan, Sitka, Juneau, Skagway, Wrangell, Klawock and Haines.
