Oceania Cruise
Oceania Cruises is the world's only "upper premium" cruise line and provides a refined and casually elegant travel experience for discerning travellers whilst offering extraordinary value. The ambiance on board each of their luxurious and intimate mid-size ships is akin to a private country club with the elegant, but comfortably casual atmosphere inviting guests to relax completely and enjoy life to the fullest. With Oceania Cruises you will visit the world´s most exciting destinations in style, enjoying fine cuisine, elegant accommodations and exceptional personalised service along the way. Their current fleet consists of three identical 684-guest ships - Regatta, Insignia and Nautica and they will be joined by the eagerly anticipated new, Marina, which will set sail in early 2011, and Riviera, which sails in April 2012 each carrying 1,258 guests each.
Dining is a central highlight of the Oceania Cruises experience served in a wide variety of distinctive open-seating gourmet restaurants meaning you can choose to dine when, where and with whom you wish - all at no additional charge. In the course of a single voyage, chefs create literally thousands of meticulously prepared dishes that may range from a delicate soufflé to a robust 32oz King's Cut Bone-In Prime Rib. Add to that the tantalising array of Signature Dishes designed by legendary Master Chef Jacques Pépin and it is no wonder that Oceania Cruises is renowned for offering some of the finest cuisine at sea.
Recently, Oceania Cruises launched a multi-million dollar initiative to update and enhance its award-winning fleet. Under the new "Pillars of Distinction" program, staterooms will be enhanced with even more luxurious amenities and stylish new décor highlights, culinary offerings will be refined including the introduction of sublime Canyon Ranch Spa Cuisine, whilst the on board enrichment program will be expanded and itineraries enhanced with one-of-a-kind shore experiences in many ports.
As a leader in destination cruising, Oceania Cruises sails to more than 330 ports in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Asia, and the Americas. Award-winning itineraries feature a mix of must-see destinations and boutique, off-the-beaten-path ports which their smaller ships are able to reach. In many ports, you'll stay overnight which allows for two days of exploration to fully immerse yourself in the destinations visited.
