Oceania Cruises will begin sailing out of Tampa, Florida in 2026, making it the first ultra-premium cruise line to depart from Port Tampa Bay. 

The small ship, luxury cruise line unveiled several new Caribbean and Panama Canal itineraries going to and from Tampa starting in early 2026.  

“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,” said Frank A. Del Rio, President of Oceania Cruises. “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.”
