Fleet

The heart and foundation of every cruise is the ship. The quality of your vacation depends on how it was designed, how comfortable and safe it is 

for passengers. Oceania Cruises features only top-class liners:

• Sirena 
• Riviera
• Marina
• Regatta
• Insignia
• Nautica

Riviera. The company’s most modern ship. Known for its special elegance. A liner for experienced travelers who value peace and quiet– here there is almost no loudspeaker announcements.

Sirena. Modernized with a budget of $40 million. The liner’s arsenal includes a fitness center, 4 restaurants, 342 exquisite suites, a SPA center, lounge areas, and much more.

Marina. An Italian creation, the first ship built specifically for Oceania Cruises. Famous designers Ralph Lauren and Dakota Jackson worked on the design of the interiors.

Regatta. Built in France. The finishing is done in the Art Deco style (the style of the 1920s-1930s). The liner accommodates no more than 684 passengers; the limited space gives the ship a cozy atmosphere.

Our experience and customer reviews show that the cruise company successfully does this for 18 years already. 3 guests are served by 2 representatives of the staff – an important indicator of the quality-to-service ratio of Oceania Cruises. Only experienced staff work onboard, trained in the best restaurants and five-star hotels.

Relax with the greatest comfort, and don’t worry— the ship’s team has taken care of everything for you.

Restaurants and bars

Imagine that you are eating the best dish, and your taste receptors are delighted with every new bite. On an Oceania Cruises voyage, delight is guaranteed every day. Culinary lead Jacques Pépin spared no effort and made the liners’ menus varied and refined. The company’s annual restaurant awards are the best confirmation of that.

The service at Toscana (with Italian dishes), Red Ginger (with spicy Asian delicacies), Polo Grill (with juicy steaks) and Jacques (with fluffy croissants and other French cuisine) will not leave you indifferent.

Entertainment

Oceania Cruises takes care of passengers’ leisure time too. If you enjoy a laid-back vacation, stay in your comfortable cabin or relax by the pool. If you’re eager to learn, attend a lecture by a famous history or natural sciences professor, take a culinary or other craft master class. Read books from the ship’s extensive library collection. Love sports and activities? There’s a fitness club at your disposal, everything for mini-golf and tennis. 

Your evenings will be made more enjoyable by musical performances. Listen to heartfelt vocalists’ voices and excellent piano playing.

For the most adventurous guests onboard, there is a casino where you can try your luck.
