Oceania Cruises Launches ‘Curated Conversations’ with Influential Personalities

Oceania Cruises is introducing “Curated Conversations,” a new onboard educational program designed to inspire guests through discussions with influential figures from the worlds of technology, film, culture, and the arts. The first participants will be Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple, Inc., and actress and director Karen Allen, best known for her role in “Raiders of the Lost Ark.”

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

Debuting on select sailings in 2027, Curated Conversations will launch with Wozniak, aboard the Jan. 27, 2027, sailing of Oceania Allura (RT Miami), followed by Allen aboard the Nov. 11, 2027, sailing of Oceania Vista from Los Angeles to Papeete.

“Curated Conversations reflects the spirit of exploration that defines an Oceania Cruises voyage,” said Jason Montague, chief luxury officer at Oceania Cruises. “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.”

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 participate in the discussion.

Rolling out across the fleet, Curated Conversations will feature an expanding lineup of notable figures. (Special guests are planned to participate in these sailings; however, appearances and programming are subject to change.)
