On a longer holiday voyage, life aboard the ship matters just as much as the places you visit. Oceania Aurelia is designed for travelers who enjoy good conversation, personal enrichment, relaxed elegance, wellness, music, cocktails, creative time, and quiet corners with a view of the sea.
During our 2027 Outlander Holiday Cruise from Athens to Miami, guests will have the rare gift of time: time to learn, time to relax, time to connect, and time to settle into the graceful rhythm of a true ocean crossing.
Onboard venues, programs, and activities are preliminary and subject to change.
Aboard Oceania Aurelia, days at sea can be as active or as unhurried as you wish. Guests may join culinary explorations in the Chef’s Studio, enjoy wellness experiences at Aquamar Spa + Vitality Center, explore their creative side in Artist Loft, attend a guest lecture, learn new digital skills, or simply relax with friends over cocktails and conversation.
Sea days offer space to follow curiosity wherever it leads. Oceania Aurelia offers enrichment through tastings, lectures, creative workshops, lighthearted games, and small-group learning experiences that encourage both discovery and connection.
Unique Culinary Enrichment | Deck 9
For guests who enjoy food as part of the travel experience, Chef’s Studio offers seminar-style sessions, chef demonstrations, technique tutorials, and gastronomy-focused workshops. These intimate small-group experiences explore destinations through a culinary lens, adding another layer of meaning to the journey.
Relax and Create | Deck 6
Artist Loft is a welcoming creative retreat where guests can slow down and try something new. Activities may include watercolor painting, knitting, needlepoint, scrapbooking, and other relaxed projects suited to the leisurely rhythm of life at sea.
A Place to Stay Awhile | Deck 10
The Library offers a quiet retreat with sea views, comfortable seating, novels, nonfiction, guidebooks, and space to pause between activities. For many guests, a good book and a view of the horizon may become one of the simple pleasures of the voyage.
Insightful Perspectives at Sea
Oceania’s guest speakers offer talks inspired by their fields of expertise, with subjects that may include history, photography, oceanography, botany, culture, and the regions visited along the way. These sessions help provide context and deepen the travel experience.
Learning That Stays With You | Deck 6
LYNC Digital Center offers complimentary interactive classes led by Oceania’s Digital Concierge. Guests can learn practical skills for sharing their travels, improving photography, using social media, and creating better smartphone videos.
A Traditional Pastime
Afternoon tea is a cherished Oceania tradition, served with elegant pastries, attentive service, panoramic views, and live music. It is a quiet, civilized pause in the day and the kind of onboard ritual that fits beautifully into a long holiday crossing.
As evening arrives, Oceania Aurelia offers production shows, live music, guest entertainers, comedians, vocalists, classical musicians, pianists, and relaxed lounge performances. The atmosphere is elegant without being overdone, giving guests a pleasant variety of ways to enjoy the evening.
The Art of the Pour
Aurelia’s cocktail culture includes classic and contemporary drinks, barrel-aged Negronis, smoked Old Fashioneds, zero-proof creations, specialty beverage carts, and refined lounges such as Founders Bar, Martinis, Horizons, Waves Bar, and the Aurelia Lounge.
Monte Carlo-Style Gaming | Deck 5
The casino offers blackjack, roulette, slot machines, video poker, gaming lessons, and a lively but relaxed setting for guests who enjoy a little evening excitement at sea.
Unique Gifts, Jewelry & More | Deck 5

This is not a short cruise where the ship is simply a way to get from one port to the next. This is a long, elegant holiday crossing, with days to enjoy the ship, reconnect with friends, learn something new, find favorite routines, and experience the pleasure of traveling slowly.
For Outlander travelers, that matters. The best hosted journeys are not only about where we go. They are about how we spend our time together along the way.
