Oceania Cruises, the luxury cruise line and wholly owned subsidiary of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. (NYSE: NCLH), is launching a new onboard enrichment program called Curated Conversations, set to debut on select sailings in 2027.
The series is designed to give guests exclusive access to influential figures from the worlds of technology, film, culture and the arts in an intimate shipboard setting.
Confirmed speakers for the inaugural program include Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple Inc., and Karen Allen, the acclaimed actress and director best known for her role in “Raiders of the Lost Ark.”
Wozniak will sail roundtrip from Miami aboard Oceania Allura from January 27, 2027 to February 5, 2027, sharing personal insights from his role in shaping the computing revolution and his ongoing work in technology and education.
Allen will join guests aboard Oceania Vista on a sailing from Los Angeles to Papeete, running from November 11, 2027 to November 28, 2027, where she will reflect on storytelling, creativity and a life in the arts.
Allen’s career spans film, television and theater, with notable roles in “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” “Starman” and “Scrooged,” bringing decades of experience both in front of and behind the camera.
Jason Montague, Chief Luxury Officer of Oceania Cruises, said: “Curated Conversations reflects the spirit of exploration that defines an Oceania Cruises voyage.”
Montague added: “Our guests are naturally curious travelers who value discovery as much as the destinations themselves. This program creates rare opportunities to engage with extraordinary individuals whose experiences and perspectives inspire new ways of thinking.”
Unlike traditional lecture formats, Curated Conversations centers on dialogue, with select sessions hosted by the Cruise Director in an interview format followed by an open Q&A, allowing guests to directly shape the discussion.
The program is rolling out across the fleet with an expanding lineup of notable figures, each chosen for their accomplishments and their ability to inspire authentic conversation among guests.
Oceania Cruises describes itself as the world’s leading destination- and culinary-focused luxury cruise line, operating intimate ships that call on more than 600 ports in over 100 countries across seven continents.
The line has five Sonata Class ships on order, with deliveries scheduled in 2027, 2029, 2032, 2035 and 2037, signaling continued investment in its fleet expansion strategy.
