Overview
- The 18-and-over rule now applies to all new reservations across Oceania’s fleet and routes.
- Reservations made before the announcement will be honored even if they include travelers under 18.
- Company leaders say extensive research showed guests value tranquility, and they plan more adult-focused options such as wine tastings, cooking classes and quiet lounges.
- Executives framed the shift as reinforcing the brand’s sophistication and noted children were already uncommon on board.
- The change fits a broader industry trend led by lines like Virgin Voyages and Viking, while sister brand Regent Seven Seas continues to welcome guests under 18.
