"However, negatives far outweigh positives on this cruise, The tender service was required at most ports, as expected in Ireland and Scotland, but ship limited tender service to 2 lifeboats which required sitting in theatre waiting for tenders.Estimated 50 people left theatre very upset and no one at Destination desk or the cruise director cared how we felt...."Read More

1-10 of 48 Oceania Riviera Cruise Reviews for Luxury to Europe - British Isles & Western
We sailed to Alaska on Oceania in 2013 and loved it. We haven't been able to book with Oceania again until this cruise and we were excited. We were especially anticipating the food because of our prior experience. Sadly, we were disappointed.
First, the good: the rooms are roomy and beautiful. The bathroom was the best (by far) I've ever had on a ship or in many hotels. We had a great cabin ...
Having sailed on 50 cruises or more, this was the best cruise we have ever had. Everything about the ship, food, service, and cabins were first rate.
Riviera is completely refurbished and looks spectacular in all areas. She is a beautiful ship inside and out. With about 1200 passengers, Riviera is large enough to give you plenty of dining options and public areas and yet small enough to ...
Cruised on Oceania a few yeas ago and decided to book with them again. This was a mistake. We had a penthouse suite, it was okey. The mattress was well past its prime. It's a beautiful ship and the service was first rate.
The line advertises the best cuisine at sea. I was not impressed. There are four speciality restaurants: the only one that was outstanding was the Italian restaurant. The ...
We loved being back on a small ship without crowds and queues.
The only significant negative are the ship organised excursions. Most of these were sold out months before the departure date. I also discovered, by accident, how much the company add to the actual cost of at least some of the trips. It's scandalous.
We tried the Panoramic Donegal' coach trip adverted struggling to find a way ...
Our Cruise was disappointing at best. Let me first say that certain staff were excellent, our cabin staff, Tony, the bartender in Martinis, Barbara in Barista's, all great. . Others seemed undertrained. A server for breakfast service should know what a mimosa is. Tables should be cleared regularly, not when diners are standing around searching for a table. We usually just picked a dirty ...
The cruise itself was bit of a damp squid, with poor weather spoiling the enjoyment, though we did enjoy our shore trips as much as possible, but they are very pricy. The overall enjoyment of the cruise is the ship and what it provides. The cabin was the best we have experienced, it's layout made the best use of space, also the cabin staff were very good in providing us with a spotless cabin, and ...
We were looking forward to getting back into cruising for a long time and the prospect of cruising on the Oceania we had come to love was very exciting.
We booked a 28 day B2B cruise of the Norway and UK starting 5th August 2023 from Oslo.
First impressions.
The ship looked great. We had only sailed on the Marina previously.
Boarding - was efficient and we were herded onboard quickly ...
We stayed in an Oceania Suite where we enjoyed the personal staff who cared for us and our suite. They were absolutely wonderful. In fact the entire crew was wonderful. They were always smiling, pleasant, professional and very eager to help. We did not receive our luggage from Lufthansa until the seventh day of the cruise. We greatly appreciated the efforts of Concierge staff for tracking this ...
We decided to go on a Norwegian fjords cruise but my husband really wanted to see Greenland so we opted for a back to back from Iceland to Greenland to Norway for 33 days. We had just been on the Vista so our expectations were really high ! Well the ship is not as flamboyant as the Vista but it has been very well refurbished ! We were please with our veranda cabin. The staff was more ...
Greenland is one of the items on my bucket list, and this was our 2nd visit, and 2nd time to miss it. The first time - we went in May, with a transatlantic cruise from London to New York. This cruise had 2 stops in Greenland, but because of fog and Ice, we could not go in. We had lunch with the Ice Captain, and were told to never try to go to Greenland before July. So, this time, we did book a ...
