Oceania Cruises

Oceania Cruises has earned a strong reputation for offering an enriching cruise experience that blends culinary excellence, immersive itineraries, and a relaxed onboard atmosphere. Oceania's four classic ships, Oceania Insignia, Nautica, Regatta & Sirena accommodate a maximum of 670 guests, offering a true small-ship luxury cruising experience. For those seeking a slightly larger setting without sacrificing the charm of smaller ships, Oceania Marina and Regatta, and newer ships Oceania Vista and Allura, welcome up to 1,250 and 1,200 guests respectively, offering plenty of choice on board.

Outstanding dining is one of Oceania Cruises' hallmarks, along with port-intensive itineraries: you can expect to be in port more or less every day on your Oceania cruise, and the assumption is that you will spend as much time ashore as you possibly can, making for a relaxed ambience on board. In more exotic and remote destinations, many of the itineraries are quite lengthy, and even the shorter ones can be combined to make a long voyage.

Exceptional Dining on Oceania Cruises

Oceania Cruises' commitment to culinary excellence is displayed in the variety of restaurants and dining options on offer, with speciality options enriched by expert Chef Jacques Pépin serving as Executive Culinary Director. The Grand Dining Room is the culinary heart of each ship, offering á la carte dining with a daily changing menu in a classical setting, and open seating which gives you the flexibility to dine when and with whom you choose.

Speciality restaurants on board Oceania Cruises are included in your cruise fare, so you can experience a range of culinary delights during your voyage. Restaurants vary depending on which ship you are sailing on, but options may include fine Italian cuisine at Toscana, Polo Grill which serves prime cuts, Red Ginger for bold Asian dishes, and casual buffet dining at the Terrace Café. We particularly love the Aquamar Kitchen on the larger vessels, offering wellness-inspired fare and non-alcoholic beverages.

Accommodation on Oceania Cruises

There is a huge variety of staterooms and suites on board Oceania Cruises' ships, so you are sure to find your perfect home from home. Even on the smaller vessels you have a fantastic choice, from Inside Staterooms, Oceanview, and Veranda to the expansive Vista and Owner's Suites. On the new vessels Oceania Vista and Allura, all staterooms have a French balcony or private balcony.

Across the fleet you can enjoy an elevated experience in the Concierge Level staterooms, offering benefits including complimentary laundry service, priority speciality restaurant reservations, and unlimited access to the Aquamar Spa Terrace. There are also dedicated solo staterooms offering the perfect retreat for those travelling solo.

Enriching Oceania Cruises in 2026, 2027 and 2028

Oceania Cruises' itineraries are known for being port-intensive, with guests often waking up in a new destination nearly every day. The focus is squarely on exploration, with extended stays and overnights in culturally rich ports that allow for deeper connections to each location.

From the Mediterranean and Northern Europe to Asia, South America, and beyond, Oceania's routes are designed to highlight the cultural, historical, and culinary richness of each destination. Many cruises to more exotic or remote areas are longer in duration, and shorter itineraries can be linked together to create seamless extended voyages.

Our Oceania Cruises Insider Insight:

Oceania Cruises appeals to those who want a sophisticated experience but without the formality of some ultra-luxury cruise lines, and offer the rarity of operating as an adults-only cruise line. The dress code is intentionally relaxed, particularly because guests are encouraged to spend long days ashore and not feel pressured to return and dress formally for the evening.

While Oceania Cruises may not aim for the refinements of the Best of the Best, it still caters to those with discerning tastes and we consider the top accommodation on the newer ships to be some of the best afloat.
