Expert review of Oceania Cruises
Best For
Sophisticated couples or friends who like great food, wine, design, art, and service.
Not For
Families, since the line just launched its first kids’ club program on a limited basis.
We Love
- Foodies will be stunned by the offerings on Riviera and Marina.
- The wine-pairing restaurant on the two new builds — La Reserve — is elegant and beautiful, and serves modernist cuisine using techniques like sous vide.
- Oceania's art collections include pieces by Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, and Damien Hirst.
- The Ralph Lauren suites on the newer ships are as elegant as boutique hotel suites on land, which is not a statement we make often
- The new ship’s cooking school offers market tours, visiting chefs, and do-it-yourself, hands-on classes.
- The Artist Loft offers classes on sea days by a rotating list of artists in residence.
We Could Live Without
- The three older ships in Oceania's fleet lack some of the bells and whistles of the newer ones.
