Oceania Creates ‘Curated Conversations’ for Curious Cruisers

Destination- and culinary-focused luxury cruise line Oceania Cruises  is introducing Curated Conversations, a new onboard series designed to inspire guests through engaging discussions with influential figures from the worlds of technology, film, culture and the arts.

Debuting on select sailings in 2027, Curated Conversations will welcome speakers including Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple Inc., aboard Oceania Allura and Karen Allen, the acclaimed actress and director best known for her role in “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” aboard Oceania Vista. 

The program offers guests rare opportunities to hear firsthand stories, exchange ideas and engage directly with remarkable individuals in an intimate setting.

“Curated Conversations reflects the spirit of exploration that defines an Oceania Cruises voyage,” said Jason Montague, Chief Luxury Officer of Oceania Cruises. 

“Our guests are naturally curious travellers 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. Whether exploring the world ashore or exchanging ideas on board, our guests are continually seeking meaningful moments of connection, and Curated Conversations is designed to deliver exactly that.”

Moving beyond traditional presentations, Curated Conversations centers on conversation rather than lecture. Select sessions are hosted by the Cruise Director in an interview format, followed by an open Q&A, allowing guests to shape the discussion and explore the speaker’s experiences in greater depth.

Karen Allen, an award-winning actress and director whose career spans film, television and theatre, will reflect on storytelling, creativity and a life in the arts. Best known for her roles in “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” “Starman,” and “Scrooged,” Allen brings decades of experience both in front of and behind the camera. Sail with Karen Allen from Los Angeles to Papeete aboard Oceania Vista, from November 11, 2027 to November 28, 2027.

Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple Inc., and one of the most influential innovators in modern technology, will share personal insights from his role in shaping the computing revolution, as well as his ongoing work in technology and education, expanding on the details of his career as a Silicon Valley icon. Sail with Steve Wozniak roundtrip from Miami aboard Oceania Allura, from January 27, 2027 to February 5, 2027.

Rolling out across the fleet, Curated Conversations will feature an expanding lineup of notable figures. Each participant is chosen not only for their accomplishments but also for their ability to inspire dialogue and enhance Oceania Cruises’ onboard enrichment experience.
