Who doesn’t want to cruise around the world visiting exotic destinations, experiencing new cultures, and immersing themselves in a new world of adventure? There’s nothing quite like being out on the open ocean awaiting your arrival at yet another unique part of the world.
However, not all cruise lines are dedicated to providing you with an extraordinary trip rich with culture as well as luxury. When choosing a luxury cruise line, there are several important things to consider to ensure you will have the most memorable time possible!
Destination:
With Oceania Cruises you’re not limited to the typical cruise destinations, but have a wide range of options from Africa to Asia, the Mediterranean to the Amazon, from Alaska to New Zealand. Got the travel bug? Take advantage of Oceania Cruises’ 180-day all around the world cruise where you can fulfill your grandest dreams.
Luxurious Ships:
The ship plays a crucial role in how enjoyable your cruise will be. Oceania Cruises has six luxury ships that provide you with an intimate upscale environment.
The Regatta, Insignia, Nautica, Sirena, Marina and Riviera dock at some of the world’s most stunning ports. Due to the size of the ships, they’re able to dock at smaller boutique ports that most large cruise ships cannot access. You’ll see it all from historic cities to modern meccas to charming seaside villages nestled along sparkling coastlines. There’s no better way to travel in luxury all the while experiencing the history, culture, art and cuisine of marvelous destinations along the way.
Service/Onboard Experience:
So what is life like on board these luxury ships you might be wondering?
Well, the service provided by Oceania Cruises is unmatched. Not only will you get to experience leading world destinations, but you will be treated as a cherished friend while on board. The staff and crew are incredibly hospitable and generous and make a constant effort to remember individual preferences and exceed your expectations.
On board the six ships there is a sense of family and community as each ship caters to either 684 or 1,250 guests. You’ll never feel like you are just a number in a mass of people when you cruise Oceania. Since the ships provide a more intimate feel there is never a crowd and no lines to wait in. What a relief! Who wants to go on a vacation and have to deal with that? This makes it so much easier to plan the trip to be exactly what you want rather than having to account for other people.
A smaller ship and mellow, intimate environment make the biggest difference. You’re able to spend more time ashore exploring because getting back onto the ship takes only minutes rather than hours and there are more evening calls and overnight stays at the ports than most cruise lines.

Cuisine/Dining Experience:
One of the aspects Oceania Cruises is best known for is their cuisine and dining experience. Unlike many other cruise lines, every meal is prepared a la minute rather than en masse. This allows the chefs to personalize each dish so every palate is satisfied. A feature that guests really enjoy is the open-seating that multiple dining venues provide for no additional charge.
The dining experience is relaxing and delicious. You’ll be able to find whatever you’re craving whether it’s steak or seafood from Polo Grill, gourmet Italian at Toscana, Asian at Red Ginger (Marina, Riviera, Sirena), or French country cuisine at Jacques (Marina and Riviera). La Reserve (Marina and Riviera) offers vintage wine with expert gourmet menu pairings. If you’re looking for something quick and casual for breakfast, lunch or dinner you can head to Terrace Café for delicious meals and snacks. Hanging by the pool? Grab a gourmet burger or a hand-dipped milkshake at Waves Grill.
The cuisine options on Oceania Cruises’ ships seem never-ending. You can even host private dinners at Privée (Marina and Riviera) for those more intimate occasions.
With a baristas coffee/pastry bar and free room service all day and night long, you’ll never go hungry.
Oceania Cruises is a dream come true for anyone with a passion in the kitchen. You can’t miss out on the Culinary Discovery Tours™. Accompany a master chef, while you visit local markets to taste the authentic flavors of a region and learn techniques in local cooking classes. After the Culinary Discovery Tour™ you can show off your new-found skills in The Culinary Center.
The Culinary Center (Marina and Riviera) is the first hands-on cooking school at sea where you can follow instruction from expert master chefs in a fully-equipped professional teaching kitchen. Learn the latest cooking techniques and master the culinary art at your own cooking station.
Wellness:
If you’re feeling like you need a little extra pampering, Oceania Cruises is the right cruise line for you. At the Canyon Ranch SpaClub you can enjoy a luxurious massage and aboard the Riviera and Marina you can now experience the first ever wellness tours at sea. Everything from yoga to thermal baths are offered so if you need to reboot, this is for you.
Oceania Cruises will have you feeling rejuvenated and refreshed and the best part is you don’t have to throw away your balanced diet. Healthy options are offered on every menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Don’t miss out on the complimentary seminars offered on board to learn more about wellness and the different techniques you can incorporate in your life.
If you’re considering a cruise, but aren’t sure which cruise line to go with, I hope these recommendations have come in handy. When you cruise Oceania it’s more than a vacation. It’s an enriching life experience that you’ll remember forever.
