The ship altered the itinerary by an hour or 2 at each port (shorter), and that sent the shore excursion department into convulsions . There were line ups of 15 to 25 people constantly as the Shore excursion desk.
We enjoyed the lovely ship and our veranda B2 cabin was the nicest we have ever had at sea, (after 15 cruises.)
The food in the Terrace cafe was outstanding. We had a good ...
We are long time Oceania aficionados, and were very much looking forward to this cruise from Singapore to Sydney. The Regatta is a small ship (and I mention this as a plus) which was last refurbished in 2019. While I have no complaints about the condition of the ship, it does not have the "wow" factor many people are looking for while cruising.
My biggest complaint is the unfortunate decline ...
Cruise's plan was changed but stops were chosen in uninteresting places. It could be improved with better quality shore excursions . The tours were superficial and looked as if no thought had been put into them. I don't understand the answer to my questions...this is what we can get. So tell that to your passengers and charge much less than you charge d. The crew on board was excellent, ...
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 ...
Very worthwhile cruise to see new and exciting ports on a first class ship. Although staterooms are.a bit compact and we prefer the “O” class ships, the smaller ship allowed us to dock close to city centers in Bangkok, Ho Chi Min City, Denang and Hong Kong.
Entertainment was as expected for this size of ship with some good guest singers although a poor chice in a juggling duo. They did show 2 ...
Great ship. First time on the smaller Oceania ships and it was cute. Still great service and good from Oceania. As a small ship, we were able to get to the best piers closer into the towns which was great. Also, we had 3 ports with a night stay (15 day cruise) so that was great too. We love Oceania.
Cabins very small especially the shower but you get used to it.
2 speciality restaurants ...

We booked this cruise while travelling on the Marina last autumn, one reason for which was an interest to compare the small Oceania ships with the 'identical' Azamara Journey, which we like very much. ...
I had cruised with Oceania before on the Insignia in the Mediterranean. After cruising on a large cruise ship, I had sworn not to ever take another cruise, but Oceania changed my mind. The food is top-notch with so many different choices at any meal and at different restaurants. You can dress casual and eat in terrace cafe at their buffet or dress up a bit and eat a multi-course meal in the Main ...
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 ...
After reading some of the reviews on Cruise Critic we were a bit apprehensive about whether the high standards of our two previous Nautica cruises would be maintained, since the NCL acquisition. We need not have worried!
The ship was clean, crew were great, and the food was excellent, even though the menu did get a bit repetitive towards the end of the cruise. Our fellow passengers were a ...
