We chose this cruise as we had been all over the word apart from South America. What better way to experience this continent but on the Oceania Marina.

Unfortunately we arrived in to Buenos Aires to be greeted by a strike of bag handlers. This caused a hold up at customs of some 6 hours. Truthfully the Meet and Greet facility was not handled very well. In fact very poorly.

That was the last complaint we had. The ship was, as we knew it wood, be excellent. From the cabin staff to all the other staff nothing was too much for them. The cabin was cleaned before we had finished breakfast each day. The activities were consistent with the size of the ship. Though some of the acts were somewhat repetitive. The information lectures were of a consistently high standard.
