Sailing with Oceania Cruises

The line’s elegant fleet of ships provides passengers with an intimate, sophisticated and cultural cruising experience. Smaller in size and with luxurious decor, the ships are more akin to floating boutique hotels than cruise liners.

Priding itself on the Finest Cuisine at Sea®, Oceania Cruises is famed for its dining experiences - from sourcing premium artisanal ingredients from around the world to their expansive state-of-the-art galleys, to the expertise and inspiration from their Executive Culinary Director, Master Chef Jacques Pépin.

Oceania Cruises' gourmet restaurants serve dishes created à la minute and offer an array of choices, from Continental cuisine and authentic Italian to inventive American creations at Vista's new signature restaurant, Ember. Every restaurant onboard is complimentary and features open seating, so you can dine wherever and whenever suits you.

The line also offers culinary-themed shore excursions designed to immerse guests in the local food of the region.

Who should travel?

With its emphasis on food and cultural experience, passengers onboard Oceania Cruises voyages tend to be mature, inquisitive and experienced travellers, who appreciate exceptional epicurean experiences. They enjoy port-intensive and immersive itineraries, which allow for local connections.

From reading comfortably in the library to sipping fine vintages at a wine tasting, a wonderful spectrum of enriching activities awaits guests on board. One can join an esteemed guest lecturer to discover their unique cultural and destination expertise, or learn to prepare a variety of exquisite dishes at The Culinary Center, Oceania Cruises’ state-of-the-art cooking school on Marina and Riviera. Guests can also experience the Artist Loft, where talented artists-in-residence offer inspiring workshops on Marina and Riviera as well as Insignia world cruises.

The ships feature luxurious amenities, ideal for those passengers who value the finer things in life.

Destinations

On an Oceania Cruises journey, you can become anyone you want to be: An epicurean. An explorer. An adventurer. That spirit of adventure is alive and well on all of their ships. They love showcasing the world, and the destination-intensive itineraries embrace that with fewer days at sea, more time in every port and overnight stays. And because of their smaller ships, they can dock in off-the-beaten-path ports of call that larger ships can’t, so the world is truly your oyster. With more than 600 ports around the world on six continents, an Oceania Cruises voyage gives you the access you need to experience a world of beauty and discovery.

Dining

Food is insight into culture, and at Oceania Cruises, the destination-intensive itineraries bring that culture to your plate. Food is at the heart of everything they do. Oceania Cruises was built from the ground up to honour culinary tradition in its entirety.

Their staff hails from every corner of the world, bringing their unique experiences, family recipes and global travels to your plate. Even with their small ship culture, they boast more culinary staff than any other cruise line in the world, with one chef to every ten guests. They strive to make each dish feel like it was created just for you — because it was. Their team takes great pride in our cuisine, bringing you authenticity of place and an explosion of flavour with every bite.
