Beautiful Turkey and Greece Cruise by

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Riviera

Angelo and Lillian yet again helped us curate an amazing trip. This was our honeymoon and everything was absolutely perfect. They helped with some technical issues we faced with the cruise lines website and even coordinated with family and friends to have some memorable treats delivered to our stateroom. We have our next trip already booked with Dream Vacations and can’t wait to experience more of the phenomenal service they provide!

Ship: Riviera

The cruise with Oceania Riviera was an incredible experience. All went well, unforeseen weather issues were dealt with in expedite form, food was always a gourmet experience and shore excursions were fun and efficiently held. All in all I just have to say we can’t wait for the next cruise with Oceania !

Far East Adventure by JBSanti

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Riviera

Overall, an excellent cruise offering a unique itinerary exemplified by diverse cultural experience and supported by superb onboard hospitality. Do take note of the need for advance planning when coursing distant seas, as communications are limited and at times - unavailable. Therefore, it is advisable to have all visas, entry permits and personal finances in order prior to sailing.

Oceania delivered one of my memorable cruise journey/experience with friendly services, quality food and well design /organized excursions. I'd already booked my next cruise with Oceania for my 2025 trip.

Not up to our expectations - many disappointments by NancyfromMiami

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Riviera

Though we used to be great fans, we were very disappointed in Oceania and details on this cruise. Japan is not as US friendly as most ports we have visitied and you must have your passport with you all the time. The language barrier made it difficult, and there is a LOT of walking. It does appear they have reevaluated the tours and the walk ratings have been changed since we booked them. Japan is interesting and I got some great photos. Riviera did not meet our expectations overall, and though similar ship, it does not compare to our prior experience on Marina, which we loved.

Disappointingly cut out stops by tomloop

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Riviera

itinerary curtailed to eliminate more than half the original stops. Ended up spending 2 days at sea sailing around in circles in the Persian Gulf. Substitute beach stop on Sir Bani Yas was quite unsatisfactory, offering little more than a beach

European Cruise on Riviera by gc19

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Riviera

We will always probably cruise on Oceania, but it definitely felt less high end this time around vs. our last cruise in 2022. The cruise ship director didn't seem as engaged, the entertainment was subpar, the art classes were not appealing at all (the artist made the classes nearly impossible to attend), the butlers weren't as attentive, and especially the staff was all around less helpful and keen to be there.

Not a 'luxury' cruise by hank4ande

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Riviera

The only thing "luxury" was the price of the excursions which did not have any electronic communication between the guide and us so one had to be close to the guide to hear the commentary. There were even jewelry sales in the lobby like the large cruise ships. Port talks by the cruise director or outside experts were never done.

A lovely experience. Thanks to the weather and calm seas to make it even better. Always love the support staff, friendly and engaging. by tedelorm

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Riviera

I have enjoyed all the cruises I have taken with Oceania, this one was no exception. It was a lovely trip with very little that I did not enjoy on board. The upgrades definitely added to the comfort and enjoyment of the boat. The staff, as usual, were outstanding.

Ports disappointing by rozbe

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Riviera

The ports in general were poor. Small towns with nothing to do. Looked forward to Norway but felt missed a good experience. When compared armed with Vikings choice of ports, Oceania missed the boat

Somewhat disappointing by badams636

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Riviera

It was an interesting experience to visit Greenland and the Faroe Islands. Sweden was a country that we have not visited before, and we believe this aspect enhanced our experience. Overall, Oceania seemed to be a better overall experience prior to the pandemic.

Great British Isle cruise by BROWNFAMILY

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Riviera

The cruise itself was outstanding. The staff take great pride in their jobs and it shows! I would encourage everyone to consider booking your own airfare however. Traveling with flights reserved by Oceania, leaves you at their mercy. Our flight was canceled on the way home and we were stuck in New York for 2 additional days.

OK Cruise by Cliff2023

Sail date: / Traveled as: Large Group
Ship: Riviera

Beautiful ship, rooms were great. Based on info from friends and the fare we paid, we had high expectations that were not close to being met. Buffet restaurant was too crowded. Bakery items looked good but tasted mediocre. Service was inconsistent, as were updates from the crew. Food, even in the Specialty restaurants was of uneven quality. Coffee quality was excellent at Barista's and of lesser quality elsewhere. The wine by the glass selection was average in quality. It was nice though to utilize a corkage fee so we could occasionally enjoy good wine for a reasonable price. Excursions run by Oceania are overpriced. The "free WIFI" was a joke. Only one device allowed online at a time and it was painstakingly difficult to "toggle" back and forth between devices (and no instructions were given on how to do this). Get serious and allow TWO DEVICES PER CABIN! We were also promised Oceania-labeled tote bags, but we were told they didn't make it to the cruise on time.

The cruise to no where by juliepippi

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Riviera

We never got off the ship mostly due to cancelled ports, cold weather. We turned our cruise into an "all inclusive resort" on the water and enjoyed our time no matter the cancelled ports.
