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 experienced agents – we know these ships firsthand and can tell you exactly what to expect.

Oceania’s OLife Choice program 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 SmartCruiser.com, you also benefit from our exclusive group rates and amenities 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 agents 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) 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 but limited in size, so early sign-up is recommended. They’re among the most popular activities onboard. Our agents 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 agents 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 agents 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 center, and wellness programs. 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 agents can guide you toward the ships and itineraries with the most robust programming.

When you book Oceania through SmartCruiser.com, Division of Oasis Travel Network, you work with a dedicated, experienced agent who helps you choose the right itinerary, the best stateroom for your needs, and the ideal sailing date. We offer exclusive group rates and amenities, with savings of up to $1500+ depending on the time of year and destination, plus onboard credits and value-added extras on many sailings. See a lower price elsewhere? Ask and we’ll do our best to price match.
