Oceania Cruises will enhance the experience with enriching programs, featuring talks by renowned astronomers and NASA ambassadors.

Travelers can enjoy lively deck parties, celestial-themed events, and a variety of delicious eclipse-inspired cuisine. Imagine snacking on star-shaped sandwiches, eclipse cookies, and half-moon shrimp empanadas under a cosmic lightshow.
