Oceania Transatlantic Cruise Reviews

This is my review of the Oceania cruise on the Sirena ship from Miami to the Canary Islands that lasted 2 weeks from 27 March to 10 April 2024. The food for all 3 meals plus afternoon tea, service, both cabin, reception and dining, and entertainment were excellent. In particular, the cruise director, Leslie Howard, was fantastic. The ship was in great shape; it was very well maintained. It ...

Nice cruise! Lost two ports due to bad weather. Royal Navy Shipyard and The Azores. First time on Vista. Cabins are not sound proof! We could hear our neighbors loud and clear! Horizons has changed no coffee machines and no food! Also coffee machines continued to be out of order in the concierge lounge! Loved the new Embers restaurant. Staff was excellent! Cabin was very nice had a concierge ...

Just finished my first trans-Atlantic cruise on Oceania's new Vista. What a special experience. I have loved cruising on other Oceania vessels (Marina, Riviera, Nautica) over the years and was really looking forward to being on the new Vista and it did not disappoint. The ship is lovely, the service, food, and quality outstanding. The staff is very professional, friendly, and service oriented. ...

Let me give you all some background so you understand the perspective we are coming from. My husband I are both millennials and have almost exclusively sailed on the so-called “ultra-luxury” lines, i.e. Regent, Silversea, Crystal and Seabourn as we prefer the small ship experience. Since childhood, my husband had always wanted to take a transatlantic cruise. Thanks to the fact that ships are ...

This was our third Oceania cruise and the first on Vista (previous ones on Marina and Nautica). It was also our first transatlantic and we were really looking forward to all those sea days – we knew it would be a much more relaxing holiday than O’s usual port intensive cruises. We’d flown from our local airport to London, on the Sunday, staying overnight at Heathrow, then on to Miami the next ...

My husband and I chose this cruise because of past experiences with Oceania. The Vista is wonderful but does not quite live up to the hype. We always book in the concierge level. The cabins are well planned with lots of storage. The bathroom is luxurious with a shower that is one of the best ever. The specialty restaurants are the best with the exception of the new Ember. It is loud and difficult ...

We have travelled on Oceania once (or twice) before when we had a one week stretch with no kids with us, so we’ve had some experience with them. It’s funny how there are so many similarities between the lines we’ve traveled (more commonality I would say than ‘not’), so these comparisons are somewhat for my own memory when we are ready to book again. When we book a trip, the experience we ...

We chose this cruise as we enjoyed a Translantic 10 year ago, and wanted to see Ireland, Newfoundland, and Saint Pierre. The ship was beautiful. Food still as good as always (except was disappointed with Embers, wish they change it to Jaques), Service was excellent with the room stewards, however in the food venues it was slow responses. Ports of call were well received and tours were ...

Southampton to New York via France, Ireland plus the Canadian and American Atlantic Seaboard. This cruise went to many places we had not visited before. Unfortunately due to hurricane Lee we missed 3 of the ports of call. Vista is a big ship with about 1250 passengers and the accommodation was excellent. The restaurants also provided high quality cuisine except the Ember Restaurant which was a ...

Having just completed a cruise on Oceania’s new ship, Vista. I would like to share my observations about the Vista as compared to their sister ships, Marina and Riviera. Things that were eliminated: No Jacques (our favorite speciality restaurant), no Coffee Corner in Horizons (our favorite breakfast place), no Prime Rib in Polo (our favorite meal), no La Reserve, no Grand Bar, no Wine Bar, ...
