The luxury travel brand Oceania Cruises, renowned for its culinary and destination-focused voyages, has announced a series of new Caribbean and Panama Canal sailings departing from Tampa (Florida USA) in early 2026.
These winter itineraries mark a historic milestone for the cruise line, as its 670-passenger ship Insignia will be the first ultra-premium vessel to sail from Port Tampa Bay in March 2026.
The new itineraries (from 7 to 20 nights) visit Caribbean destinations such as St Thomas USVI, St Kitts and Tortola BVI, as well as Cozumel, Costa Maya, and Belize City. A highlight of these voyages includes a daylight transit of the Panama Canal and an overnight stay in Panama City.
Guests can easily access these sailings via the 41 non-stop flights available from Tampa International Airport.
Tampa’s vibrant culinary scene makes it an ideal departure point for Oceania, the only cruise line dedicated to the true foodie experience. Passengers can look forward to gourmet dining, street food experiences, and immersive culinary tours led by local experts.
