Excellent 1st Oceania cruise with caveats
"The service in the restaurants, even the buffet, was similarly excellent with servers quickly becoming friends.We especially enjoyed them ending their primarily classical sets with rock covers like Sir Duke and even Purple haze!..."Read More

First Oceania Experience

We chose Oceania based on their culinary record, service and small size. We have previously cruised on Viking and love their modern ships. R class ships have been beautifully refurbished. We had sailed on Azamara Quest - a similar ship from Renaissance cruises. We joined the last segment of ATW cruise which began in San Francisco on January 2023! While a majority of the ship had been together ...

This was our first experience sailing with Oceania. Overall, it was very enjoyable with a few minor problems I’ll outline later. Here are the positive points. Check in was a breeze. We arrived about 2:30pm and were immediately accompanied to the empty immigration and security areas. A few minutes later we boarded and checked in the quiet Insignia Lounge (again zero people waiting) and were ...

We chose this cruise for the itinerary, which was very interesting. Unfortunately, due to heavy fog, we were unable to dock in Shanghai, which threw off the ship's schedule. However, the ship offered a free cocktail hour to try to make up for our disappointment. We were staying in a penthouse, and our butler was excellent, as were all the service personnel on the ship. I felt the cabin was a ...

The cruise was our longest, so far. Forty days total. We wondered if it might be too long on a small ship. When we booked, we were offered a "free" three-day pre-cruise. We enjoyed our tours of Cape Town and the surrounding area. While talking to the onboard Ambassador, we learned the Oceania took a major hit with the offer and will not be offering it again. I don't know about other ...

Chose this cruise for the itinerary and the fact that it went to Milford Sound. The day we were in Milford Sound was amazing. The normally shrouded in clouds location was bright and sunny and clear, which made viewing of the glaciers, mountains, waterfalls just spectacular. Oceania does a very good job in many areas. Food is always beautifully presented and delicious. The selections are ...

We chose the Auckland to Bali leg of the Insignia`s world cruise and were very happy with itinerary, Milford sound being a particular delight. The ship`s staff were universally helpful and friendly, the food just about the best of our 20 or so cruises, and the wine package reasonable. Having cruised on the larger Riviera we prefer the latter not least for the more roomy public areas and theatre, ...

This was our second cruise with Oceania. The first was a tour of the Baltic on the Marina. We chose this cruise because of it's interesting itinerary. The Insignia was appointed very nicely. We found the smaller ship to be a bit more intimate than the Marina. Our penthouse was nicely appointed and the size was adequate. The food for the most part was excellent. The meals in the main dining ...

Review of cruise Cape Town to Singapore - Insignia Feb 9, 2016 Three years ago we were on an Oceania cruise from Istanbul to Cape Town. That was, by far, the longest cruise we'd taken, thirty days. I worried at the time that I would get cabin fever, stuck on a boat that long. The itinerary was across the Mediterranean and down the west coast of Africa, with stops in Senegal, Gambia, Ghana, ...

There are eight (8) R Ships on the seas with different cruise lines. They are all identical, were built for Renaissance Cruises in 1999-2000 just before they went insolvent. The Ships sat at anchor for years before being renovated and put back in service. They are 30,000 ton ships, a perfect size and take 600-700 passengers. I love the "R" Ships, especially with Azamara and Oceania ...

We sailed the Med with Oceania Riviera and loved the 'O' experience. This itinerary through Asia suited us and was all we thought it would be and probably more. The Insignia (smaller ship) was perfectly sized for the ports as it was able to berth in locations that the larger ships could not, offering fantastic access to places like Ho Chi Min city and Bangkok and wonderful sights along the way to ...
