Explore the medieval city of Dubrovnik, wander Corfu's lovely old Venetian quarter, stroll medieval lanes in Sicily, enjoy stunning panoramas in Capri, visit Michelangelo's magnificent David in Florence, or see Monte Carlo's famous casino. The attractions are endless.
The Ambiance
The moment you step aboard you'll feel it, an immediate sense of calm and comfort. Feel warmly welcomed by an ambiance of effortless elegance, casual days at sea and impeccable attention to detail. For the 684 passengers who board Oceania Cruises, it will be a voyage like no other. The ship's décor will delight, lavished with dark rich woods, plush fabrics, intriguing artwork, and an abundance of fresh flowers. The streamlined size allows for an intimate, convivial atmosphere and highly personalized service. On this ship, experience the pinnacle of luxury cruising.
The Nuance
Even the most minute aspect of your voyage has been carefully considered. With the perfect ratio of staff to guests, you'll find all your needs and whims catered to. The international staff is schooled in the art of fine service, with their core principle being the desire to please. The exceptional service aboard this ship will almost magically anticipate your needs, elevating your entire cruising experience. Your stateroom or suite will be your private oasis designed with all the comforts of home. Furnished with only the highest quality in mind, you'll feel awash in the serenity of soothing colors, soft textures, luxurious furnishings, and Tranquility Beds, considered by many to be "a slice of heaven." A vast majority of the staterooms feature teak verandas, a private haven to retire to with a flute of champagne, or watch the sun set over the sea.
The Flavor
Host of numerous television shows, author of more than 20 cookbooks, and personal chef to numerous heads of state, Jacques Pepin is one of the world's leaders in fine cuisine. He brings his legendary culinary talents to all of the unique restaurants on board. From the European-inspired Grand Dining Room to the breezy Tapas on the Terrace, variety is part of the fun. Have a steak in the Polo Grill one night, a regional Italian dinner at Toscana the next, try the barbecue at Waves, or the buffet at the Terrace Cafe. In addition to the restaurants, the ship features 24-hour room service, high tea at 4:00 p.m. every day, an ice cream bar, afternoon pizzeria and evening snacks. Each cruise offers menus featuring literally hundreds of different dishes. Our chefs know no bounds in their pursuit of perfection, striving to please even the most discriminating palates.
The Inspiration
Your concierge and shore excursion staff will provide you with a wealth of information about the places you will visit, and the prestigious and often famous guest lecturers will regale you with personal insights and expertise on the endless treasures waiting ashore.
Each day will inspire you to try something new. Relax in a private cabana, take a refreshing dip in the heated pool, or a brisk walk around the oval track. Stop in the rejuvenating Mandara Spa, join a Team Trivia game, or settle into an armchair with a book in the English-style library. Nightfall brings with it a variety of entertainment; enjoy the soft jazz styling of Horizons, listen to a classic string quartet under the stars, dance to the inspired sounds of a 12-piece orchestra, or try your luck at the ship's casino. Every night brings a new critically acclaimed headliner and a great show in the ship's Lounge. There's always something to do, and if you desire, nothing to do but relax and breathe in the ocean air.
