The Finest Cuisine at Sea. As the world’s leading culinary- and destination-focused cruise line, Oceania offers a truly extraordinary travel experience for discerning adventurers.
With a fleet of seven designer-inspired ships, accommodating no more than 1,250 guests, Oceania Cruises combines elegance and intimacy. Each voyage is a gateway to the globe, calling on over 600 iconic and boutique ports across seven continents. Whether exploring the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, the Caribbean, or the South Pacific, you’ll discover itineraries that range from 7 to 200+ days, each crafted to immerse you in the world’s most captivating destinations.
In brief
Oceania's itineraries feature more time ashore than most; typically 40% longer than compared to a premium cruise line.
Our smaller ships allow access to ports larger ships cannot, such as Seville, Bordeaux, Sorrento & Gustavia, St. Barts.
Speciality dining, all soft drinks, unlimited Wi-Fi, resort shuttles, gratuities & more are included as standard.
All ships have had top-to-bottom, bow-to-stern refurbishments recently, and look 'better than new.'
We are the 'foodie' cruise line - take a Chef-led tour ashore, or a class in our onboard Culinary Centres - the first of their type at sea (selected ships).
