Oceania Cruises Named Best Ship Refurbishment and Best Dining in 2014 by Cruise Critic Editors
MIAMI, Fla – (Nov. 18, 2014) – Oceania
Cruises was recognized with Best Ship
Refurbishment (Regatta, Insignia and Nautica) and Best Dining accolades
by Cruise Critic with their annual Editors’
Picks Awards. This is the third year in
a row that Oceania Cruises has been acknowledged with the Best Dining award. The Editors' Picks Awards are based
upon the lines and ships that Cruise Critic’s international team of editors
feel best represent excellence in each category.
“It’s a great honor to be
recognized for three consecutive years with the Best Dining award as serving
the finest cuisine at sea is definitely a point of distinction for Oceania
Cruises,” said Kunal S. Kamlani president of Oceania Cruises. “We’re thrilled Cruise Critic took note of
the refurbishment effort we undertook with Regatta,
Insignia and Nautica. As a leader in
the upper-premium category, we wanted to ensure our guests received the same
upscale cruise experience and exceptional value no matter which Oceania Cruises
ship they sail, and with this recognition it’s safe to say we achieved our
objective.”

Below
are comments from the Editors of Cruise Critic about both awards received by
Oceania Cruises:
Best Ship Refurbishment:
Oceania Cruises
“Three
of the loveliest ships afloat, even before 2014's $50 million refurbishment,
Oceania's 684-passenger trio of Regatta, Insignia and Nautica
reflect the contemporary ambience of Marina and Riviera, the
fleet's newer siblings,” shared the Editors of Cruise Critic. “Our favorite aspects? The luxe makeovers of cabins, from new
mattresses to splendidly redesigned suites, the French Riviera-inspired pool
deck revamp and the addition of Barista's coffee bar.”
Best Dining: Oceania
Cruises
“Variety
abounds when it comes to dining on Oceania's ships, which feature world-class
gourmet options with an open-seating scenario in its main dining rooms,” noted
the Editors of Cruise Critic. “Where the
ships really shine, though, is with their included alternative restaurants:
Asian Red Ginger and French Jacques, named for the line's famous executive
culinary director, Jacques Pepin.”
