Mid-sized Ships Allow for Enormous Differences

In essence, it's the ideal size of our ships that elevates our onboard experience into the sublime. Being mid-sized allows for a certain warmth, intimacy and elegance that is largely devoid on other vessels. The differences are pronounced, especially with regard to the defining points of ambiance, attitude and service.

Returning guests are greeted as cherished friends. First-time guests soon develop their own rapport with the staff, and the relationship only deepens with time. It's a matter of great pride and devotion that our staff sincerely addresses you by name and always remembers your preferences. Personal care this indulgent is no coincidence. It's the direct result of our ships' enviable size.

That warm, caring attitude pervades the ship, promoting an extraordinarily comfortable atmosphere. Guests instinctively introduce themselves to each other, easily finding common ground. While intimate, public areas are alive with laughter and engaging conversation.

Feeling at Home Comes Quite Naturally

How comforting it is to feel completely at ease aboard our mid-sized ships. While the atmosphere is certainly elegant, it's never pretentiously so. The ambiance is refreshingly casual and friendly, much like that of a country club. Intimacy and warmth are the hallmarks, encouraging you to simply be yourself, while enjoying the company of others who genuinely share your enthusiasm.

Meet over cocktails in Martinis and recount your adventures ashore. Strike up a conversation poolside, while lying back in a commodious teak double chaise lounge. Making new friends is effortless, as is finding quiet, more private areas to relax, when you're feeling less gregarious. In such an inviting atmosphere, where every wish is attended to with exemplary service, it's so easy to feel right at home.

Entertainment for the Spirit and Mind

It's only natural that your idea of entertainment changes day to day, so our ships provide for an abundance of diversions. Some days, you may wish to do nothing more than while away the hours reading, comfortably ensconced in a private cabana on the Sun Deck. Other days, if you're feeling ambitious, you might power-walk around the oval track in the fresh sea air, take a refreshing dip in the pool, or work out with a personal trainer.

Or maybe you would rather play a rousing round of Team Trivia, participate in an art auction, or try out for Oceania Idol, where our guests can sing their way to onboard stardom. So many activities are available to be enjoyed at your pace, according to your timetable.

Enrich Your Mind and Spirit

Enriching your mind can be tremendously entertaining, as well. The ultimate source of insider's knowledge is our esteemed and often-famous guest lecturers, who are aboard for the express purpose of enlightening you with their personal insights, historic outlooks, and vast expertise regarding the treasures ashore. Imagine how your perceptions might change after discussing the current political climate in Russia with a former diplomat or historian while sailing the Baltic Sea. Just think how it would enhance your understanding of French wine to learn about France's unique terroir from an acclaimed vintner who lived there. These are the kinds of encounters that comprise the Oceania Cruises experience.

Discover the highlights of your next port of call by reading Oceania Currents, our shipboard daily, or one of the dozens of the travel books from the well-stocked English-style library. And now onboard Marina and Riviera, experience hands-on instruction in our new Bon Appétit Culinary Center or create arts and crafts in Artist Loft. Other great sources of information are the concierge, shore excursion staff, and even your fellow guests.

Created in 1979 in Arizona's stunning Sonoran Desert, the Canyon Ranch experience personifies healthy living and spiritual awareness.
