Review summary

We had a group of 17 people traveling together and from the feedback I received, they all had a wonderful time!! I organized the trip and specifically chose Oceania Regatta, a small ship, since it was my first cruise ever. Several other members were also on their first cruise and enjoyed it as much as I did! The boat was the perfect size, furnishings were elegant, staff was AMAZING, food was fabulous, entertainment & activities were quite enjoyable. We had incredible weather and enjoyed Alaska so much, I cannot wait to go back!

Food and Dining

Grand Dining Room was gorgeous!!! Service was impeccable! 95% of food was amazing (always room for improvement!) and the staff went over and above to accommodate diners wishes.!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Activities on board were varied, we enjoyed playing trivia challenges, games and sightseeing (which is why I chose Alaska!). There was a gym, yoga classes, putting green, walking track, pool and spa to enjoy as well.

Ship tip

Grand Dining Room meals were fabulous, but if you're in a hurry to finish, your best bet would be the Terrace Cafe!

Fabulous!! We did the bus tour of city and Saxman Village, our tour guide was pleasant and informative. We also hired our own seaplane and visited Misty Fjords National Monument Wilderness!! If you're going there...Call Michelle (owner/pilot) at Island Wings Air Service and tell her one of the beavers sent you! The seaplane trip was well worth the price…the best excursion our group had!

Excursion was great, local artist instructed us in glass making! Small town, but we didn't have a whole lot of time to explore.

We really didn't have enough time to spend in Seattle, other than an hour to visit Pike Place Market, which was amazing!! Looking forward to returning in the future!
