 Oceania
Cruises Oceania Cruises appeal to a discerning, sophisticated traveler in search of world-class cuisine, unparalleled personal service, and an enriching, in- depth, destination oriented experience. Oceania Cruises was formed in 2002 by cruise industry veterans Joe Watters and Frank Del Rio. Best in class cuisine, destination oriented itineraries, and outstanding value define Oceania Cruises' five-star product and position the company as the cruise line of choice for traditional premium and luxury category cruisers. The onboard atmosphere is relaxed and reminiscent of the casual elegance of a country club. Tuxedos and gowns are never a requirement for dining so you can dress and enjoy the evening comfortably. The overall feeling is one that is never stuffy and void of any pretension. You will enjoy the flexibility of four open seating restaurants; you dine when, where and with whom you choose. Our 5 Star menus are crafted under the meticulously watchful eye of renowned master chef Jacques Pépin, our Executive Culinary Director. Host of numerous public television series, he is one of America's best known chefs, food columnists and cook book authors. He has also served as the personal chef to no less than three French heads of state, including Charles de Gaulle. Topped with a dramatic, domed ceiling that is adorned with a hand-painted fresco, the Grand Dining Room is reminiscent of a classic European, 5-star hotel restaurant. The tuxedo-clad wait staff serves six courses of American-inspired Continental cuisine atop elegantly appointed tables set with Villeroy & Boch China and European crystal. To complement your dining experience, soothing melodies from a classical string quartet or concert pianist tempt you to take a spin around the dance floor.
After a day of enriching shore excursions ashore or relaxing activities onboard, you may dine in the privacy of your suite or stateroom. An extensive Room Service menu is available around the clock. For those guests in Owner’s, Vista and Penthouse Suites, our Butler Service allows guests to enjoy a course-by-course dining experience, with cuisine selections from the menu of the Grand Dining Room. Let our butlers cater to your every whim! Enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner on your private veranda, as you take in spectacular seascapes. A veritable oasis for the mind, body and soul, the Oceania Spa by Mandara elevates pampering to a new level. The tranquil ambiance encourages you to happily succumb to an array of rejuvenating treatments. Try an Elemis Aromapure Facial, which will leave your face with a youthful, radiant glow. Or let the nimble fingers of an able masseuse soothe away all the cares of the world. With so many entertainment
and enrichment options, there is never a shortage of
things to do on an Oceania Cruises vacation. If you
prefer to plan the day in advance you might take part
in numerous scheduled activities, such as wine tasting
or rare vintage or stimulating lectures. If you'd rather
create your own diversions, consider the ship your playground.
No matter what you choose, you're sure to enjoy every
moment you spend aboard our ships.
