Travel expert Samantha Brown will join Oceania Cruises’ newest ship - Allura, as a special host for a 10-day Mediterranean voyage departing on August 5th, 2025, from Monte Carlo Monaco to Piraeus-Athens Greece.
This voyage will offer a range of exclusive onboard experiences, including a travel chat with Brown in the ship’s theater, a welcome cocktail reception, destination-themed Chef’s Market Dinners, select shore excursions alongside Brown, and Oceania’s signature gala brunch.
Known for her PBS Emmy-winning series Samantha Brown’s Places to Love, Brown brings over two decades of travel expertise to the sailing and looks forward to revisiting classic Mediterranean stops like Rome and the Amalfi Coast, as well as exploring new sites in Turkey and Greece.
Oceania Cruises President Frank A. Del Rio commented that Brown’s dedication to authentic travel perfectly aligns with Oceania’s commitment to delivering extraordinary experiences for guests.
The Allura, which can accommodate up to 1,200 guests, will make stops at various Mediterranean destinations with excursions that include vineyard visits on Mount Vesuvius, explorations of Rhodes’ inland villages, and visits to Florence, Rome, Santorini, and Antalya.
