General Information
Known as a “Premium Plus” cruise line, Oceania Cruises maintains standards that are ranked as above premium lines and slightly below luxury cruise lines.
Oceania’s four ships are relatively small, with a passenger compliment of only 684 on the Regatta, Insignia, and Nautica. Oceania boasts a guest-to-staff ratio of 1.71 to 1. The cruise line takes pride in their attentive staff that will cater to your every whim and strive to make you feel like you are at your “home-away-from-home”. Oceania provides longer port stays to allow guests to truly discover and enjoy their surroundings.
The ships provide a refined and relaxed feeling. Elegant furnishings have a very European feel that is welcoming, yet up-scale. The lounges are well appointed and not overwhelming. Legendary chef Jacques Pépin shares his culinary genius to earn Oceania rave reviews from guests and allows the cruise line to confidently boast having the “finest cuisine at sea”.
