With itineraries spanning more than 600 ports across every continent, Oceania is designed for curious travelers who want to truly immerse themselves in every destination — all while enjoying what’s widely celebrated as the finest cuisine at sea.

The Finest Cuisine at Sea

When our advisors tell you that Oceania’s dining program stands apart, we speak from real experience. Nothing onboard is pre-packaged or frozen — every dish is prepared to order using artisanal ingredients sourced from the finest purveyors worldwide. Whether you’re savouring a perfectly seared filet at Polo Grill, twirling handmade pasta at Toscana, or tasting Jacques Pépin’s signature dishes at Jacques, every restaurant is complimentary — no upcharge, no reservations required on most ships.

The Grand Dining Room anchors your evening with menus that change daily, while The Culinary Center on Marina, Riviera, Vista, and Allura lets you roll up your sleeves and learn to prepare regional specialties from destination-inspired recipes. It’s the kind of immersive culinary experience that transforms a vacation into a lifelong memory — and our team loves helping guests prepare for every delicious moment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Oceania occupies a unique niche between premium and ultra-luxury cruising. They’re celebrated for “The Finest Cuisine at Sea” under Master Chef Jacques Pépin’s direction, an intimate country club atmosphere on mid-sized ships carrying only 670 to 1,250 guests, and destination-rich itineraries with extended port stays and lesser-visited harbors. If you prioritize exceptional food, cultural immersion, and personal service over mega-ship entertainment, Oceania may be your ideal match. Talk to one of our expert advisors — we’ve sailed these ships and can tell you exactly what to expect.

Oceania’s OLife Choice programme is remarkably inclusive. Your fare covers your choice of complimentary shore excursions, a beverage package, or onboard credit — plus complimentary Wi-Fi for every guest. On top of that, all specialty restaurant dining is included at no extra charge, along with 24-hour room service featuring the full dinner menu, premium coffees, teas, and soft drinks throughout the ship. When you book through Cruise Help, you’ll also benefit from our exclusive group rates and weekly price monitoring at no additional cost.

Under the guidance of Executive Culinary Director Jacques Pépin, Oceania prepares every single dish from scratch using premium, artisanal ingredients — nothing is frozen or mass-produced. The fleet features multiple complimentary specialty restaurants including Polo Grill, Toscana, Jacques, and Red Ginger. The newer Vista-class ships add Ember and Aquamar Kitchen to the lineup. On Marina, Riviera, Vista, and Allura, The Culinary Center offers hands-on cooking classes inspired by the destinations you’re visiting. Our advisors regularly hear from guests that Oceania’s food alone is worth the voyage.

Every specialty restaurant on every Oceania ship is complimentary — there are no upcharges for dining. The Grand Dining Room serves as the elegant main restaurant with daily-changing menus. Polo Grill offers premium steakhouse fare, Toscana features authentic Italian cuisine, Jacques presents French bistro classics from Jacques Pépin, and Red Ginger serves Pan-Asian dishes. The Terrace Café provides a relaxed gourmet buffet experience. Vista and Allura add Ember for grilled specialties and Aquamar Kitchen for wellness-focused meals.

Oceania’s fleet is intentionally mid-sized, which is one of their greatest strengths. The Regatta-class ships (Regatta, Insignia, Nautica, Sirena) carry roughly 670 guests — smaller than many river cruise ships. The Marina-class (Marina, Riviera) and Vista-class (Vista, Allura) accommodate approximately 1,200-1,250 guests. For comparison, today’s mega-ships carry 5,000-7,000 guests. This smaller size means Oceania can dock at boutique ports that larger vessels cannot access, while still offering resort-quality amenities and multiple dining venues.

Found aboard Marina, Riviera, Vista, and Allura, The Culinary Center is a professional-grade teaching kitchen where guests participate in hands-on cooking classes led by expert chefs. Classes feature regional cuisine inspired by the destinations on your itinerary — you might learn to prepare Provençal dishes while sailing the French Riviera or master sushi techniques en route to Japan. Sessions are complimentary on a first-come basis, and they’re among the most popular activities onboard. Our advisors recommend booking early — we can help you understand which itineraries offer the most exciting culinary programming.

Oceania visits more than 600 ports across every continent, making them one of the most geographically diverse cruise lines available. Popular regions include the Mediterranean, Northern Europe and the British Isles, Alaska, the Caribbean, Asia, the South Pacific, Australia and New Zealand, Africa, and South America. They also offer extended world cruise voyages of 180+ days. Itineraries emphasize overnight stays and off-the-beaten-path ports — exactly the kind of immersive travel our team loves to help plan.

Oceania maintains what they call “country club casual” — elegant but never rigid. During the day, resort-style clothing is perfectly appropriate. In the evenings, smart casual prevails in most venues: think collared shirts and dress trousers for gentlemen, and dresses, skirts, or tailored pants for ladies. Formal wear is always welcome but never mandatory. There are no tuxedo-required evenings. The atmosphere feels refined and sophisticated without the stiffness that sometimes accompanies formal dress codes — our advisors find it strikes the ideal balance for most travelers.

Absolutely — especially if the idea of a 5,000-person mega-ship with waterslides and rock-climbing walls doesn’t appeal to you. Oceania’s intimate ship size feels more like a boutique hotel than a floating theme park. The all-inclusive pricing structure makes budgeting straightforward, and the destination-focused itineraries appeal to travelers who want genuine cultural experiences, not simply a floating resort. Our advisors often recommend Oceania to first-time cruisers who consider themselves “foodies” or who appreciate a more relaxed, sophisticated pace. Let us know your travel style and we’ll help you determine if Oceania is the right fit.

Oceania partners with Canyon Ranch for their SpaClub, offering premium spa treatments, a well-equipped fitness centre, and wellness programmes. The newer Vista-class ships feature the expanded Aquamar Spa + Vitality Center with additional treatment rooms and an emphasis on holistic wellness. Aquamar Kitchen serves nutritious, plant-forward cuisine for health-conscious guests. Fitness classes, personal training sessions, and wellness-themed shore excursions round out the offerings. If wellness is important to your cruise experience, our advisors can guide you toward the ships and itineraries with the most robust programming.

When you book Oceania through Cruise Help, you get access to exclusive group rates with savings up to 50% off published fares — with just one room. Our team of 23+ expert advisors, many with real cruise ship experience, provides personalized cabin selection advice, itinerary planning, and loyalty program strategy. We perform weekly price monitoring on every booking and automatically adjust your rate if the price drops. Plus, we never charge booking, consultation, or change fees — ever. With 365-day support, you’re never on your own from the moment you inquire to the moment you disembark.
