South Pacific Luxury Cruises Reviews

There were several ups and downs. Ours was not a luxury experience. We were not on the transfer list for the prepaid ride from the airport to the hotel. Took a taxi and had to hagle with ship crew to get reimbursed. The hotel, Tahiti Pearl, was in a beautiful spot but I would put it on par with a Best Western with a view Embarkation was the worst I have ever experinced. We waited in ...

The positives: Wonderfully friendly, nice, helpful crew. My Butler, Van, was as nice as pie- I felt like he was my son- and so funny too! My hair highlights were done and corrected by Maria, in the Salon- and she fixed my color, (which had been ruined in Athens 5 months earlier), which I thought couldn’t be done- just amazing. Unfortunately we both forgot to give me the formulas she used, so I ...

Finest cruise at sea turned in to finest Marketing at Sea. Cuisine was ok in main dining room and better in specialty restaurants but similar to NCL and Princess specialty venues. Princess has tge best pizza at sea is true! Certainly not above the others. I found my self looking for peanut sauce for chicken sauté, none! Making my own tartar sauce for fish from mayo and mustard. ...

After cruising many lines over 35 years, Oceania is our favorite. Great food, small ships, and interesting ports and excursions (previous to this cruise). First, the positive: Oceania has great ships. We've been on the Riviera (@1200 passengers) and the smaller Insignia and Nautica (@600 passengers}. The ships are well laid out with specialty restaurants, a fantastic buffet, comfortable ...

We booked this cruise on Oceania as a repeat cruise for my special birthday, having done this exact same cruise 7 years ago, and loved it! We have enjoyed many cruises before, both ocean and river, with various cruise lines, and expected a wonderful time on this smaller, high end cruise line. Before I begin, positives were great food, mainly pleasant staff, wonderful library, comfortable ...

I want to preface this review by acknowledging that every cruise is different. Even if you exclusively sail on a specific ship, each itinerary, each new contingent of crew, entertainers and passengers all combine to create a very specific experience. I say that as I will try to review what should be similar on any cruise on Regent Navigator into account. We've previously sailed on Regent ...

After going to Hawaii yearly for 10 years for a medical meeting French Polynesia has been on our bucket list for some time. What better time to go than Paul Guaguin’s and our 25th anniversary Thank you all for your recommendations which undoubtedly added to the value and peace of mind in planning this adventure 10 Day Tuomotus/Society island cruise 1-21 through 2-3-2024 Day 1. ...

After 37 years cruising, we decided that a trip and cruise to Tahiti and French Polynesian Islands would be a fitting finale. Oceania Nautica's itinerary and cruise dates were the answer. I read the reviews on here, plus social media and I had a good idea what to expect. Here are my thoughts on this cruise, the ship, food, entertainment. Embarkation: Arrived in the rain at 1130am. The ...

We chose this cruise having cruised with Oceania on the Riviera 8 years ago. I have read some of the reviews on the NAUTICA before we traveled and having now completed the cruise I believe that some of the expectations are unfair. The ambience of Oceania is very comfortable and uncrowded and fits within the 5 star+ bracket that is on its own. The lodgings very comfortable being suite forward ...

We selected this voyage for the itinerary, a Covid-delayed celebration of our 25th anniversary. I want to dispute some of the criticism I've read on this site. The food was fantastic even if appetizers were largely the same from night to night. Grand Dining Room experience was equal to specialty restaurants, but both Polo Grill and Tuscana had excellent menus and delightful, hot food that was ...
