"Told this USED TO BE a great cruise line.
Times have changed tremendously!!
Definitely a 3rd rate ship in need of professional leadership at the corporate level.
The ship is run as though they going..."Read More

1-10 of 62 Oceania Canada & New England Cruise Reviews
We chose this cruise because of the itinerary. All of the cities were places of interest to us and we had not visited them before. We took advantage of the pre cruise add on. Our hotel, Le Germaine, in Montreal had just re-opened after an update. The update is quite modern, think chairs hanging on chain from the ceiling. The hotel is in an ideal location for walking to downtown. The bed was ...
Food was great, excellent maid service and friendly professional wait staff. Lousy wifi connectivity; we had to go to computer area to complete this review.
On shore excursions were less than adequate. Cliff Walk and Breakers in Newport was good and allowed for time on your own in Breakers mansion. PEI tour of Coastal Charms was too long -- stopping for 45 minutes at souvenir shop not ...
We were looking forward to seeing the fall colours down the coast of New England and indulge ourselves in some luxury.
We could not fault the cabin or the service onboard - both were excellent. But much of the food was not really to our taste - a very burnt-tasting lobster bisque and some odd flavour combinations (not sure what they did to make the avocado toast taste nothing like a fresh ...
I chose this cruise because of the ports and food but I was very disappointed in the addition of an additional tender at Sydney and Sydney in general! It is a port that should be taken out! Instead add a day to Quebec City as the time spent there was way too short. It was also hard since the time spent there was cut short.
I also think the beverage package is over priced. You should be ...
I chose this cruise because of the ports it included specifically Quebec City, Charlottetown, New York, and Bermuda. The rest I didn’t really care one way or another. Both Charlottetown and Bermuda were cancelled - not Oceania’s fault for Bermuda - weather was bad. Substituted Corner Brook,Nfld for Charlottetown- not impressed - never heard a reason. 2 other Canadian ports were cancelled due to ...
First off, I want to congratulate Oceania on the updated interior of the Insignia, The interior decorators did a fabulous job making the ship brighter and warmer. We had a Concierge verandah and the cabin, though on the small side, was extremely comfortable with a great bed, linens and towels. With the addition of shower doors, the small shower was a non-issue for us. This was our 3rd Oceania ...
Loved the ports of call. Love the size of the ship.
We wanted to sail up the eastern seaboard.
You feel like you belong to a family when coming on board an Oceania cruise ship.
The crew are very helpful and can’t do enough for you. Embarkation was very easy and the ground staff were very friendly and helpful.
One criticism is that the cost of the shore excursions are ...
We were attracted by the itinerary as it visited some places to which we had not been before and we were swayed by the marketing that promised so much but as we discovered actually delivered well below our reasonable expectations.
The food arrived invariably tepid or cold and was sent back. The tables were being cleared before all the table had finished eating.
The drink prices can only be ...
My wife and I and two couples sailed on Insignia late October/November from New York to Montreal. A misnamed "Fall " cruise.
Having arranged the cruise I boarded with some trepidation because of the imminent refit. However the condition of the ship was fine and we liked the rich colours of the décor (about to go pastel and bland)
We had a verandah cabin which was reasonably spacious. The ...
Travelling alone for the first time I found the staff very helpful,friendly and accomodating.
The choice of meals in the Main Dining Room was very limited and was very salty overall including the Terrace Grill.Overall I enjoyed it. The Ship was on it's last voyage before dry dock where it was getting a complete overall,so a lot of the other things will not apply.
I loved the itinerary of ...
