Wine Onboard

Oceania is among the most wine-friendly lines at sea — welcome news for kosher travelers who love a good bottle.

Bring Your Own Kosher Wine

Bring up to six bottles of wine per stateroom aboard at embarkation, or pick up a favorite in port. Enjoy them free of charge in your stateroom — a $25 corkage fee applies only to bottles opened in the restaurants and lounges.

A Curated Kosher Wine List

Prefer to buy aboard? Oceania stocks a genuine kosher wine list, available by the bottle with no corkage — from Herzog Special Reserve and Baron Edmond de Rothschild to Shiloh, Binyamina, and Segal's of Israel.

Kosher wine is served by the bottle and subject to availability; the selection may vary by sailing.
