Oceania’s four smaller Regatta-class ships also have excellent dining options.
The line’s elegant fleet of ships provides passengers with an intimate, sophisticated and cultural cruising experience. Smaller in size and with luxurious decor, the ships are more akin to floating boutique hotels than cruise liners.
As for newest ship Vista, her 18 Inaugural Season voyages will begin in April 2023 and span more than 24 countries across four continents.

Who should travel with Oceania Cruises?
With its emphasis on food and cultural experience, passengers onboard Oceania voyages tend to be mature couples with an appreciation for the finer things in life, although you will find some families on board during the summer months.
