Oceania Cruises adds new cruises from Tampa

Oceania Cruises is adding a range of new Caribbean and Panama Canal winter sailings in early 2026 departing from Tampa on Florida’s west coast.

The line’s 670-guest Insignia will make history in March 2026 as it becomes the first ultra-premium cruise line to sail from Port Tampa Bay.

The cruise line will feature a collection of seven- to 20-night itineraries exploring Caribbean islands including St. Thomas, St. Kitts, and Tortola; calls in Cozumel, Costa Maya, and Belize City; plus, a daylight transit of the Panama Canal and overnight stay in Panama City.

These voyages can be easily accessed by the 41 non-stop flights offered from Tampa International Airport.

Frank A. Del Rio, President of Oceania Cruises, said: “Port Tampa Bay represents an exciting new chapter as Oceania Cruises becomes the first ultra-premium cruise line to have dedicated voyages from Tampa, opening the door as a convenient gateway to Florida’s west coast and the Gulf of Mexico.”

Del Rio continued: “This is a natural expansion for our brand, as Tampa echoes the cosmopolitan essence of our beloved hometown of Miami with its diverse mix of international influences and cultures.”
