Review for a Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise on Oceania Vista

We were eager to cruise on this beautiful new ship, it looked fabulous, modern but chic ! The rooms were fabulous and it really felt special, I had never seen such a big and convenient bathroom ! The arrival in Istanbul was not easy, we had included transfer but it took over an hour and a look of detective work to find our bus. We finally got there and it was worth the trouble !! The food is ...

We travel with a group of eight, both family, and friends. It was our third time on Riviera, and we requested our butler, Sonu, from the prior cruises. He met us as we boarded, and asked what we would be needing that first day. Great service from the very start. The ship was pretty full, with groups from Maui Jims, and four university affiliated tour groups. The cruise was shorter than our ...

How I would describe the whole ship is "understated elegance" including the public areas and cabins. It is a very beautiful and relaxing surrounding.
Our regular concierge (A2) cabin was a generous size with appealing appointments. Of note (FYI): we liked our previous A3 cabin location on level 9 better than this "upgraded' one on level 10. The concierge lounge is on 9 and the laundry room ...

Just returned from a Med.cruise on the Riviera. The calibre of the food was a gourmet's delight. Couldn't fault it at all. Staff very friendly, state rooms more than adequate with excellent beds, shore venues well chosen. Entertainment programme well planned. Varied and pf a high standard except for the pianist in the Piano Bar. Compared to the standard of the rest of the musicians he was poor. A ...

The Riviera is truly a magnificent ship, no expense spared in the furnishings and fittings. Everywhere on the ship is excellent, with staterooms beautifully furnished with the most comfortable beds, best quality linens and soft furnishings. Very soft gently colour schemes, with a very large balcony and comfy chairs, plus cashmere covers for cooler sailings.
Staff have been wonderful – nothing ...

This was our first Oceania cruise, having used Celebrity and Cunard in the past. We booked on the basis of the itinerary (Greek Islands) and the reputation Oceania has of being a solid notch above the mass market cruises. The cruise originated and ended in Istanbul.
Embarkation was easy with a maximum of 15 minutes to drop off the luggage and check-in.
Tip - if you are looking for well ...

Our cruising days started in 1999, sailing with P & O and Princess. In the last three years we have hanged our allegiance to the luxury lines (Seabourn, Regent and Oceania to date), and are enjoying the difference!! We returned from our first Oceania cruise a couple of weeks ago. We went to the Black Sea starting from Istanbul, Turkey and ending in Athens,Greece. 22nd September to 2nd ...

This was our 3rd cruise with Oceania and our 2nd on the beautiful Rivera ship. We chose this cruise because of the interesting itinerary and that it was the Rivera. It was great to have 2 days in Istanbul and then 2 days in Venice.
Some highlights: the cruise into Kotor (amazing and worth getting up at 6 AM) and then the cruise into Venice on the Grand Canal. The Rivera is a beautiful ship and ...

Just back from the most amazing cruise. The embarkation in Istanbul was very smooth and the welcome aboard was great. The ship is a work of art and certainly the best looking ship I have ever seen. Then you are treated to the many pieces of art aboard such as the eight Picasso's in the Casino Bar. Our stateroom was a B1 veranda and was very spacious with lots of wardrobe space and places to put ...
