If you're dreaming of stunning fjords, charming fishing villages, and ultra-premium onboard comfort, Oceania Cruises' 2025 voyages through Canada, New England and Iceland may just be your next unforgettable escape. This season, two exceptional ships — the 1,250-guest Marina and the more intimate 670-guest Insignia — will bring travellers face-to-face with some of the North Atlantic's most mesmerising natural wonders and coastal communities. Whether you're after sweeping volcanic landscapes or the cosy familiarity of lobster shacks in Nova Scotia, these small-ship itineraries combine cultural depth with culinary brilliance.
A Cruise Designed for Food and Discovery
Oceania has long been known as the go-to cruise line for those who see food as an integral part of travel, and Marina was the first ship ever designed with food lovers in mind. It offers an elevated culinary journey that includes four specialty restaurants — all included — and an onboard hands-on cooking school where guests can deepen their connection with local cuisine. New for 2025, Marina also features Aquamar Kitchen, a wellness-focused venue open for breakfast and lunch, where guests can experience light, nutrient-rich dishes crafted with flavour and balance in mind.
Meanwhile, Insignia presents a different appeal: that of the intimate small-ship experience. With fewer guests onboard, Insignia sails into lesser-known ports, including the Icelandic gem of Eskifjörður, providing guests with a tranquil, boutique-style atmosphere paired with all the luxuries Oceania is known for.
Epic Itineraries for the Adventurous Traveller
This year's itineraries span 11 to 19 days, with no two experiences quite the same. You could be watching orcas breach in the icy waters of Greenland’s Paamiut Fjord one day and the next, wandering quaint laneways in Quebec’s heritage towns. Marina’s “Far North Explorer” and “Vikings & Bon Vivants” itineraries promise dramatic scenery paired with rich cultural immersion, while Insignia’s “Subarctic Scenes” links New York with Reykjavik via some of Atlantic Canada’s most endearing outposts.
Beyond the views, Oceania has crafted hundreds of immersive shore excursions tailored for small groups. In Iceland’s Grundarfjörður, you can hike along trails near the iconic Kirkjufell or embark on seal-spotting boat trips. In Halifax, Quebec City or Nuuk, expect a blend of European charm and Arctic adventure that few other itineraries can match.
An All-Inclusive Experience That Goes Beyond
Part of what makes Oceania Cruises such a standout in ultra-premium cruising is the generous inclusions found in their Your World Included™ promise. We're talking all-day gourmet dining across a variety of venues, free-flowing Vero sparkling water, cold-pressed juices, specialty coffees and yes — even Humphry Slocombe ice cream. Free Wi-Fi powered by Starlink® keeps you connected, while onboard fitness classes, gratuities and laundry services are all included as well. It's a level of all-inclusiveness that wraps luxury and value into one seamless journey.
Where Fire Meets Ice: Unique Pairings of Landscape
One of the most captivating itinerary options for 2025 is Noordam’s “Legendary Glaciers & Volcanoes” sailing. Taking off from either Seattle or Vancouver, this 27- to 28-day voyage allows travellers to experience both Alaska and Hawaii — including overnight stays in Honolulu. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance to witness calving glaciers in the morning and lava flows by evening, all while unpacking only once in your plush stateroom.
Oceania’s 2025 offerings through Canada, New England and Iceland are some of the most culturally enriching and visually spectacular cruises on offer this year. Whether it’s exploring the windswept cliffs of the Orkney Islands or basking in Reykjavik’s summer daylight, these itineraries have been curated to satisfy curious, comfort-loving travellers.
If you’re ready to find your perfect voyage — whether you’re after a foodie adventure on Marina or an off-the-beaten-track experience on Insignia — our Cruise Finder can help narrow your choices and pair you with the sailing that suits your travel style.
