Cruise line surprisingly bans kids and goes adults-only

Guests hoping to embark on a child-free vacation now have another option to consider. 

Oceania Cruises will exclusively welcome guests aged 18 and older for all new reservations for future voyages made on or after January 7, 2026. That said, all existing reservations with travelers under the age of 18 will be honored. 

"Our guests have consistently shared that the tranquil environment aboard our ships is one of the primary reasons they return time and time again," said Jason Montague, Chief Luxury Officer of Oceania Cruises. 

Nearly 80 cruise guests, crew sick in 15th norovirus outbreak this year

Nearly 80 people got sick in a norovirus outbreak on a recent cruise. 

75 of the Oceania Insignia ship’s 1,028 guests and crew reported being sick during its current 11-night cruise, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This breaks down to roughly 11% of the passengers on board. 

I tried a luxury cruise line most people don't know about and had a surprisingly great time

Justin Nelson and his wife recently went on a 7-night Oceania cruise, and he shared his experience with us in this guest post. 

My wife and I are seasoned cruisers. Having traveled by ship for over a decade, we have been given the opportunity to see the world. It has also caused us to expand our horizons when it comes to new cruising adventures. It’s like collecting trading cards, once you get a few of the same cards (or ports) in your collection, your desire to diversify grows.
