Oceania Cruises, distinguished by its small ships, culinary excellence, and destination intensive iteneraries, is a fan favorite. Passengers experience a classic onboard design on its older, smaller ships, and a more refined/contemporary luxury design palette on its newer ships — with subtle nods to classic design.

Onboard, you can expect to find elegant and refined standard and specialty dining experiences (specialty dining included) that are known as being among the best in the cruise industry. Pair this with Oceania's attentive — yet unobtrusive — service and you'll understand why Oceania is a fan favorite.

The onboard atmosphere places a heavy emphasis on relaxation, enrichment, and epicurean exploration. While you won't find major revue shows or major night-time entertainment, you will find cooking classes, creative workshops, enrichment lectures, wine tastings, afternoon teas, and a well-stocked library to lose yourself in a good read. Onboard Oceanias small to medium sized ships, you can expect to find well-traveled couples and groups of friends in their 50's to 80's. While children are welcome onboard, most sailings will have only a handful, as children's facilities and entertainment are not offered onboard.
