Oceania Cruises was built around a single premise: that the food should be the reason you book. Founding executive chef Jacques Pépin set the culinary standard in 2002 and the brand has been defending the claim ever since.
About Oceania Cruises
The fleet splits three ways: the four 670-guest R-class ships (Insignia, Regatta, Nautica and Sirena), the two 1,250-guest Oceania-class ships (Marina and Riviera), and the two 1,200-guest Allura-class newbuilds (Vista and Allura).
Every ship carries multiple open-seating restaurants with no cover charge, including the Polo Grill steakhouse and Toscana Italian on the whole fleet, plus Red Ginger, Jacques and Ember on the larger ships. The Culinary Center on Marina, Riviera, Vista and Allura is the only hands-on cooking school at sea.
Itineraries are destination-dense — typically 10 to 24 nights with a high port-to-sea-day ratio, few repeats and a strong bias toward smaller harbours in the Mediterranean, Northern Europe and Asia.
Simply MORE, the standard fare package, bundles roundtrip airfare, shore excursion credit, a beverage package with meals and gratuities. It sits between Azamara's partial inclusivity and Regent's total inclusivity.

Loyalty Programme — Oceania Club
The Oceania Club enrols guests automatically after a first voyage and counts cruise credits — one per voyage, two on longer sailings.
Tiers from Bronze to Platinum unlock onboard savings, free internet, complimentary laundry, exclusive parties and, at the top, a free cruise.
Because credits are voyage-based rather than night-based, a run of shorter Caribbean sailings builds status faster than one long world segment — the inverse of Regent's night-based system in the same corporate group.
Destinations
Oceania sails more than 600 ports across the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, the Baltic, Alaska, Asia, Africa, Australia and South America.
The line runs an annual Around the World voyage of around 180 nights plus Grand Voyages of 30 to 70 nights linking seasons.
