  • Mid-Size, Elegant Ships Catering To Just 684–1,250 Guests

  • If you're looking for something more intimate than the typical mega-ship cruise experience, consider a mid-size ship featuring the amenities of a larger ship. Catering to just 684 to 1,250 guests, these ships are elegantly appointed with rich fabrics, soft lighting, and beautiful pieces of art. Retreat into a private haven with the largest veranda staterooms at sea featuring Prestige Tranquility Beds (an Oceania Cruises exclusive). With an extraordinarily high staff-to-guest ratio ensuring the finest personal service, guests easily develop a rapport with staff and fellow guests, creating friendships that deepen as the days pass.

  • Finest Cuisine at Sea

  • With its strong focus on both the culinary experience and individual dishes, Oceania Cruises earns the distinction of "finest cuisine at sea" with every carefully crafted bite, made with fresh ingredients. Enjoy a variety of open-seating restaurants at no additional charge and menus tied to the traditions of the surrounding regions.

  • The Best Value In Upscale Cruising

  • Offering excellent value among upscale cruise companies, Oceania Cruises is even more affordable with 2 for 1 cruise fares and free airfare on every voyage.

  • Boutique Ports

  • The riches of sea and land unite with Oceania Cruises' port-intensive itineraries. You'll be able to immerse yourself in the cities you visit with more overnight visits and extended-evening stays. Being mid-size even facilitates going ashore, because Oceania Cruises ships can slip into boutique ports that are off-limits to larger vessels.

  • Culinary Center

  • The world's only hands-on culinary center at sea, Oceania Cruises' Culinary Center unites guests with master chefs in a state-of-the-art kitchen atmosphere. Learn how to prepare a variety of exquisite dishes at your own fully equipped workstation. In select ports, you may accompany the instructor chefs ashore while shopping for fresh ingredients at local markets during exclusive Culinary Discovery Tours™ and Culinary Creations Land Tours.

  • A Gourmet Culinary Program

  • The captain may steer the ship, but it's Oceania Cruises Executive Culinary Director Chef Jacques Pépin who helms the culinary voyage aboard Oceania Cruises. Gourmet offerings on shipboard menus showcase the world-renowned chef's artistry and inspiration in signature dishes, such as his herb-crusted chicken with Red Bliss mashed potatoes and jus de roti.

  • Destination Specialists

  • As destination specialists, the experts at Oceania Cruises bring you the world in a way that no one else can. Enjoy a stress-free arrival and return with our Free Airfare* program, plus custom flight arrangements with our air department. Travel to the most vibrant and renowned destinations in all corners of the globe. Immerse yourself in the local history, culture and cuisine of magical ports of call, creating memories that will last a lifetime.

  • Country-Club-Casual Ambiance

  • Oceania Cruises offers elegance without pretense. Enjoy a country-club-casual ambiance, where tuxedos and gowns are never required. Plus, an extraordinarily high staff-to-guest ratio (1 to 1.6) ensures the finest personal service.

  • Canyon Ranch SpaClub

  • An Oceania Cruises vacation is one that is sure to leave you utterly refreshed, relaxed, and rejuvenated. In the award-winning Canyon Ranch SpaClub®, you can absorb the benefits of pure plant essences in the aromatic steam room, heal tired muscles with a deep-tissue massage, or cleanse and detoxify with a purifying body wrap.

  • Around the World in 180 Days 2017
